Hi,

I’m trying to send an “intent” via tizen.application.launchAppControl from a Gear S to a paired Phone.

In case of just starting the galaxy store to show a specific app everything works fine, e.g.

var appid = "com.samsung.w-manager-service"
,   type = "phone"
,   url = "samsungapps://ProductDetail/appid"
,	extra_data = [
        new tizen.ApplicationControlData("type", [type]), 
      new tizen.ApplicationControlData("deeplink", [url])
    ]
,	appControl = new tizen.ApplicationControl(
       "http://tizen.org/appcontrol/operation/default",
       null,
       null,
       null,
       extra_data
)
,	appControlReplyCallback = {
		// callee sent a reply
 		onsuccess: function(data) {
 			console.log("launchUrl reply success");
 			console.log("success: data = " + JSON.stringify(data));
 		},
		// callee returned failure
	  	onfailure: function() {
	  		console.log("launchUrl reply failed");
	    }
	}
;
 
try {
	 tizen.application.launchAppControl(
		 appControl,
		 appid,
	     function() { console.log("launchUrl success"); },
	     function(err) { console.log("launchUrl failed: " + err.message); },
	     appControlReplyCallback
     );
} catch(err) {
	console.error("[launcher] " + err);
}

But if I try to use this for an intent of a costume app on the phone it’s not working as expected.
As far as I interpreted the “adb catlog” of the phone  the url from deeplink is used as “intent.setData” what is ok, but I’m not able to set the intents action.
 

I/HMSAPProviderService( 1327): onDataAvailable() channelId=103, data [{ "msgId" : "mgr_install_host_app_req", "pkg_name" : "----------", "download_type" : "gear", "deeplink_url" : "my.intent.data://v1.0/52.52164,13.41087" }]

I/ActivityManager(  901): START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=my.intent.data://v1.0/52.52164,13.41087 flg=0x10000000 (has extras)} from uid 10214 on display 0

W/System.err( 1327):    at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:61)

So the line with 

I/ActivityManager(  901): START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=my.intent.data://v1.0/52.52164,13.41087 flg=0x10000000 (has extras)} from uid 10214 on display 0

shows that it’s trying to use “act=android.intent.action.VIEW” as action, but I should be something like “act=com.my.app.DOSOMETHING”.

Does anybody know if it is even possible to use/call android intents from a Gear device?

The main goal is to use already implemented intents from an Android App in a wearable companion app. Otherwise we need to implement the also in our SAP communication. But it would be nice to use some of the already implemented stuff.
