At now we have to use two links:

One for the application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.darkcoin.wallet&launch=true

Second for accepting payment
dash:Xgzpd6doencq7ihrz9nvDrYEUaRTfDKm2Q?amount=1

It would be very cool to post a link to download and accept payment in one QR
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.darkcoin.wallet&launch=true&pay=Xgzpd6doencq7ihrz9nvDrYEUaRTfDKm2Q&amount=1

If I'm not mistaken, this is done somehow through android:sspPrefix or android:sspPattern

<data 
  android:scheme="https" 
  android:host="play.google.com" 
  android:sspPrefix="/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.darkcoin.wallet"
/>

This is an interesting idea. However, if the user needs to download Dash Wallet from the Play Store, that means that this user doesn't have any Dash to make a payment.

Otherwise, I suppose this smarter deep link would work to start only Dash Wallet when payment is requested as opposed to other coin wallets that support dash. If multiple apps on a device support Dash, then android will bring up a list of all of these apps and even allow the user to use one by default.

That's right, even if the user does not have funds in the wallet, he will at least install the application, then deal with it, try it, and pay next time. We get a high bounce rate for new users, as most of them do not understand or even know what DASH is.

Steve Jobs would not approve of using other apps)

There is another way to do this (go to google play to install) using dynamic links, but this service is being discontinued by Google in 2025. There may be alternatives.
