Android beam intent filter

I am creating an app to catch an android beam and startup my app instead of the designated one. Ex: beam a webpage but my app launches instead.

I tried setting the manifest with an NDEF intent filter but it doesn't seem to catch the beam and launch my activity.

        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
        </intent-filter>

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Solution

  • Below the action place this:

       <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <data android:scheme="http"
        android:host="example.com"
        android:pathPrefix="" />
