Launch Netflix Android App

I am looking for a way to launch a Netflix app and go to a specific movie on Android. I have a full URL and I can even get the movie id, but I'm not sure how to launch the Netflix app and provide it with this information.

For iOS applications, there is a URL scheme "nflx: //www.netflix.com". Has anyone done something similar for Android apps?

Most Netflix customers support various action-based URLs, such as: www.netflix.com/watch/videoId (e.g. www.netflix.com/watch/70300800 ) www.netflix.com/title/videoId (e.g. www .netflix.com / title / 70300800 )

Support for these links is provided in the Android application.

However, this is not an official or public specification and therefore is subject to change.

You tried

nflx://www.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=___trkid=___&episodeid=___

But keep in mind that Netflix does not actually support external launch points, as one developer said ( http://developer.netflix.com/forum/read/70098 ):

At the moment, we do not officially support external launch points to the Netflix iPad application. If you discuss them yourself and use them, the danger is that they may end up away.
