Additional Intents Crashes app

If I add an additional Intent to the AndroidManifest.xml; then when it is triggered; the code in tns_module/ui/frrame/frame.android.js in the function AndroidFrame.prototype.onActivityRequested is triggered which throws and error and crashes the app. I tried several ways to see if I could make this work; but it appears it doesn't allow me to add any additional intents.

Is their any way to have additional Activities triggered and either go to the same screen or do a different screen?

Hi @NathanaelA,

Is this issue still actual? If so, can you provide more details how to reproduce it?

@slavchev -- Don't know. Haven't tested it since back in may. Was changes done that should fix this issue.

@enchev: I can replicate the issue in 1.5. I'm trying to have the app open with a custom file extension, and I added the following intent filter to AndroidManifest.xml:

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    <data android:scheme="http" />
    <data android:host="*" />
    <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.myextension" />
  </intent-filter>

The code that blows up the app is line 633 in frame.android.ts

Adding additional intents will be possible with v2.0 of the android-ruintime.
You can see a demo here
run:

git clone https://github.com/pkoleva/sbg-test-app.git
cd sbg-test-app/
tns platform add android@next // this will install the latest runtime from master

after you run the app you should see in the console:

JS: com.tns.NativeScriptApplication@94533ec
JS: Intent { cmp=org.nativescript.sbgtestapp/a.b.MyJavaClass }
JS: function startActivity() { [native code] }
JS: ------we got called from onCreate

Look at files:

• app/App_Resources/Android/AndroidManifest.xml declaring:
  • <activity android:name="a.b.MyJavaClass" />
• app/my-custom-class.js (activity)
• app/main-page.js (navigating to declared activity)
