ActivityNotFoundException on Android when trying to start activity about com.lampa.startapp HOT 13 CLOSED

Hi, @minamu1!

I updated plugin in thees lines: https://github.com/lampaa/com.lampa.startapp/blob/master/src/android/startApp.java#L77

Please, reinstall plugin and add this code:

navigator.startApp.check([["action", "com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE"],[{"NOTE_GUID":"SOME_NOTE_UID"}]], function(message) { 
    console.log(message); // => OK
}, 
function(error) {
    console.log(error);
});

from com.lampa.startapp.

Hello, I would like to know if it would be possible to return to the app that has been started. For example, if I start a call on X app, once the calls end, my app would open.

@andy-ta hi!
Try to run your application after launch another application, example:

navigator.startApp.start("com.evernote", function(message) { 
    navigator.startApp.start("com.you.app", function(message) {  }, function(error) { );
}, function(error) { );

from com.lampa.startapp.

Hello lampaa,

Thanks for tending to the issue I mentioned earlier. I uninstalled and then reinstalled the plugin and tried again.

However, it does not seem to work still. I tried the following code: for navigator.startApp.check:

navigator.startApp.check([["com.evernote", "com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE"],[{"NOTE_GUID":"SOME_NOTE_UID"}]], function(message) { 
                        alert(message); // => OK
                    }, 
                    function(error) {
                        alert(error);
                        }
                );

I got the following error:

android.content.pm.PackageManager$NameNotFoundException: [["com.evernote","com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE"],[{}]]

I get this error even tough the Evernote app is install and has package "com.evernote".

Also, instead of using startApp.check, if I use startApp.start, I get the same old error I was getting. The following code:

          navigator.startApp.start([["com.evernote", "com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE"],[{"NOTE_GUID":"SOME_NOTE_GUID"}]], function(message) {   
                        alert(message); // => OK
                    }, 
                    function(error) {
                        alert(error);
                        }
                );

I get the same error:

"intent:
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.evernote/com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?"

I am not sure if the issue is with the plugin or how to setup the AndroidManifest.xml file. Do I need to add something to the AndroidManifest.xml file?

As always, thanks for your time and effort!

@minamu1 hi! Replace com.evernote to action, see my comment
#14 (comment)
I write about check method, please replace to start method.

from com.lampa.startapp.

Hello lampaa,

Ah, I should have mentioned that I did try your suggestion from #14 and got an error with that too.

After uninstalling and re-installing the plugin, I used the following code:

navigator.startApp.check([["action", "com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE"],[{"NOTE_GUID":"SOME_NOTE_GUID"]], function(message) { 
                        alert(message); // => OK
                    }, 
                    function(error) {
                        alert(error);

                    }
                );

When I ran my app and tried to execute the above code, I got the following error:

android.content.pm.PackageManager$NameNotFoundException:[["action","com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE"],[{}]]

Any ideas how I can resolve this? I double-checked and confirmed in Evernote documentation that "com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE" is a valid action.

Thanks!

@minamu1 try this:

navigator.startApp.start([["action", "com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE"],[{"NOTE_GUID":"SOME_NOTE_UID"}]], function(message) { 
    console.log(message); // => OK
}, 
function(error) {
    console.log(error);
});

Hello lampaa,

Thanks for your continued help and support!

I tried using the start() function as you mentioned, but I got no response from the app - no success or error.

I added an alert('Done!') after the code, but the alert was never called:

navigator.startApp.start([["action", "com.evernote.action.VIEW_NOTE"],[{"NOTE_GUID":"SOME_NOTE_UID"}]], function(message) { 
    alert(message); // => OK    <-- This is never called
}, 
function(error) {
    alert(error);        //     <-- This is never called
});

alert('Done!');        //     <--- This is never called.

Any ideas on what may be going on?

Thanks!

@minamu1 hi! Hmm, probably you not declared code or before the code has a bug. See this tool for debug code on app: http://jsconsole.com/remote-debugging.html. I often use it if have something does not work.

Hello lampaa,

I reinstalled the plugin and followed your instructions - it works!!! The activity launches and Evernote pulls up the right note. Thanks for helping.

Also, thanks for introducing my to the jsconsole remote debugging tool. It's amazingly useful for Cordova/Phonegap development. I have been suffering from poor debugging for the last two years.

Thanks!

Hello lampaa,

Firstly, I am continuing to use your plugin and find it really useful. Thank you!

I wanted to reach out to you about trying to launch the Salesforce android app from my Cordova app using the startapp plugin.

According to Salesforce documentation (https://na7.my.salesforce.com/help/pdfs/en/salesforce1_url_schemes_ios.pdf), for both iOS and Android, the URL scheme is as follows:

<scheme_name>sObject//view

For example, if I have an object ID "001D000000Jwj9v", then I can launch the native app to view the object with the following:

salesforce1://sObject/001D000000Jwj9v/view

At this stage, I am only interested in "view"ing the object; I don't plan on any other functions like editing or downloading. I am having trouble launching this from my app using the startapp plugin. Could you please advise on what would be the correct syntax and usage for this situation? I have read your documentation and tried several permutations but am getting various errors. Could you please advise on this?

Thanks!
Mohammad

Hi, @hadroapp!
