Deep Link To Power Apps Mobile Does Not Change Result If URL Param Changes When App Is Open

Posted on by 2

I have searched through the forums and have seen posts from a couple of years ago that appear similar, but wanted to check to see if this is still an issue, or if I am missing something in my deep link setup.

 

I have a simple 3 screen app loading data from an Excel spreadsheet as a proof of concept.

 

The Excel file can have 1 or more rows relating to the details of a quote (QuoteNumber, LineItemNumber, LineItemDetails)

 

From the basic auto-generated app, I have BrowseScreen1 with BrowseGallery1, and TextSearchBox1.

 

Entering a QuoteNumber in to the search field of TextSearchBox1 will cause the BrowseGallery1 items to show only the line item information for that quote.

 

This works well.

 

I have managed to create deep linking to pass the desired QuoteNumber as the Param "quoteNumber", and can get the mobile app on Android to show the correct information. (Link example: https://apps.powerapps.com/play/[my-actual-app-id]?quoteNumber=41469)

 

However, on subsequent loads from a deep link with a different quoteNumber value, the Power Apps mobile app just pops up with the previous quote information already showing. It's like it is not receiving the updated URL information. (Link example: https://apps.powerapps.com/play/[my-actual-app-id]?quoteNumber=40955)

 

Is this still an issue with the mobile app? If so, any suggested workarounds, other than telling the users to close Power Apps on their mobile device before moving on to the next job? Or, have I missed something?

 

App OnStart:

Set(AppID, "GUID");
Set(quoteNumber,Param("quoteNumber"));

 

TextSearchBox1 Default:

quoteNumber

 

BrowseGallery1 Items:

SortByColumns(Search([@Table1], TextSearchBox1.Text, "QuoteNumber","LineItemDescription","LineItemName"),"LineItemNumber", If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending))

 

Thanks,

 

Dion
