julieboncour Build a bridge link between an Android apps connected to Salesforce and the Salesforce Classic app
Hello everyone,
I am trying to find a way to develop a link between an Android app connected to Salesforce and the Salesforce Classic app.
Business Case:
My customer is using the Salesforce classic app on Android devices. For several reasons, we need to extend this standard application by creating a specific Android app connected to Salesforce. I need to find how to implement a custom button/tab on the standard Salesforce Classic app which open my custom Android app connected to Salesforce.
I come to the developer community to find help, to know if someone has already done it.
Thank you,
I don't think that's possible.
Regards,
Gaurav

I don't think it is possible to embed a custom button or customize the Salesforce Classic app in the way you need to.
FWIW, it's possible to add a custom button in Salesforce Classic to launch another VF page or an external web page - http://ap1.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/mobile_links.htm
However, it is NOT possible to launch another app using this method. What is your use case for launching your own Android app (as opposed to a VF or web page) from the Salesforce Classic app?

Thank you for the reply !
I need to build a new Android app to implement an Order process with real-time checks of the customer & stock information. I need to implement more intelligence onto the order process to access stock, customer information in real-time.
Do you know another way to launch an android app from the Salesforce classic app ?
I don't think that's possible.

Closing this thread as it's been stale for a while.
You can create custom links that will appear in the classic app, e.g. https://my.order.app.org/ and then you can register an intent for that url in your custom android app.
Thank you.
I will try.
