Android/Java: How to launch my app (not in the Google play) from a QR Code like myApp://open?

Time:04-23

I try to open my app with a QR Code generated : myApp://open
When I scan it, it send me an error message : "Sorry the application requested could not be launched. The content of the barcode may be invalid".

<activity
            android:name="com.myCompany.LoginActivity"
            android:configChanges="orientation"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <data android:scheme="myApp" android:host="open"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <data android:scheme="myApp"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

I try this ticket with no success.

Thanks

Your activity needs to be exported in order for other applications to launch it.

<activity
        ...
        android:exported="true">

CodePudding user response:

There is no problem with your code. However, you may be having problems due to the new "exported" logic.

If this element is set to "false" and an app tries to start the activity, the system throws an ActivityNotFoundException.

Or, there may be a problem with the QR code you simply made. Try to create from this address.
