I have been instructed to get an NFC tag to open an app that I'm creating using phonegap and I'm adding the following code to my AndroidManifest.xml file.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="hesdev.nixtel.com"
android:pathPrefix=""
android:priority="1000"
/>
</intent-filter>
I want the NFC tag to open the app and bring it to the front. A URL similar to this is written to my tag:
hesdev.nixtel.com?nfc=kj43hg4g32o2j34hb3g43j453
My question is why is it not working for me? When I scan the NFC tag it should open my application right? It isn't. It opens the web-browser on the tab and brings me to said URL.
