Android: Call App(activity) like method from browser (HTML/JS)

0.00/5 (No votes)

Context: I'm missing a javascript library to scan an image. In my HTML/JS i want to call an App's activity like a method. Send an image including barcode and get the result-text back.

Approach: Use Intent to call the App from browser, but then i'm stucked to scan and get back manually.

Question: Is there a way to call an app like a method by passing data and getting back a value?

I'd appreciate your input.

No. There is no such concept as "call an app". You need to do something else. First, explain your ultimate goal, not referring to your idea of implementation.
