Adding any phone app to SharpTools Tile

I Wanted to pass this along. If you want to get any app on your phone to work through a URL.
I am using Fully and an Android Phone (galaxy s9+).

I used this method to create the intent for any app on my phone.

In Fully Got to Settings, then Universal Launcher, then Select Items to Show.

Click on the “Add Application” button, then click on the app you want to find the intent URL for.

You will see the app on the Launcher Items menu
Click the edit pencil icon to the right, It will show the App component.

e.g., For tinyCam Monitor

com.alexvas.dvr.pro/com.alexvas.dvr.MainActivity

Now paste in the intent prefix at the beginning of the component section…

intent:#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;component=

And finally, place ;end at the end of the string, so that you final url looks like this…

intent:#Intent;launchFlags=0x10000000;component=com.alexvas.dvr.pro/com.alexvas.dvr.MainActivity;end

Copy the intent to your ULR in SharpTools.

Lastly,
In fully you have to go to Web Content Settings and activate Open URL Schemes in Ot… This allows fully to open Intents.

I tried this with a couple of apps and it works great.

Thanks for sharing! We have the URL intents for some common apps documented in the following article, but your instructions should be really helpful for anyone who wants to be able to open any app. :grin::+1:

If there’s any other app URLs you think should be added documented, feel free to post them here!
