Hi there, I've discovered a strange behaviour in Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Previously a discovery of an NFC tag containing URL was passing through the intent-filter and showing possible applications for handling this content.
In ICS 4.0.3 URI's are handled directly in the browser and intent- filters seem to be ignored There's a possibility of adding Android Application Record (AAR) to the NdefMessage (i.e. as a second record) which is pushed to the device or written to a tag, but there are some problems associated with this solution. 1) When application is started through AAR, it is done by the action.MAIN not the NDEF_DISCOVERED 2) When application is not installed, user is forced to go to the market, no option to just view the URI without installing the app So the question are: - how to handle NDEF_DISCOVERED when the my app is _not_ in the foreground? - how to give the user a choice to install the app (defined in AAR) or just open the link? (other NFC-enabled devices will just open the link) Thanks, Krzysztof -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
