No ETA for a fix.Spotify is undoubtedly one of the largest music streaming platforms out there, and it’s consider to be one of the best offline music apps you can use. Update! Spotify engineers have confirmed that the manifest is at fault. I dunno, I'm at the edges of my knowledge here. Perhaps that means that Android's NFC parser sees a URI and passes it directly to the browser, rather than via a system intent? If I click on an link - in a browser or elsewhere - then the Spotify app opens to the correct page. Maybe that means that Android doesn't pass the info? The NDEF doesn't have any paths defined, whereas the http version does.

Spotify's Android manifest says it supports NDEF, but just using the Spotify scheme. I just want Android to open the correct app to the correct screen. But both of these assume I want to install something else onto my phone. Similarly, there are tutorials for adding Spotify NDEF parsing to your own app. There is an Instructables project which gives some help but concludes that you need a separate app to manage the task flow. I also tried asking on StackOverflow but no one knew the answer. I've asked in the Spotify community but no one has answered. Plain text records - displays the text, but no way to click on it.Īnd every other bloody combination I can think of!.spotify://6QaVfG1pHYl1z15ZxkvVDW opens default app page.If I write the spotify: link to an NFC chip, my Android phone opens the Spotify app! To the default Spotify page. I've told Android that it should associate links with the Spotify app, and to use the app to open them by default. There is no option to launch the app from the browser. If I write the https link to an NFC chip, my Android phone opens it in the default browser. So, I should be able to launch either of those and get my album, right? Wrong! Thinking of linking Spotify gives me an option to copy the album link, or Spotify URI. This should be simple, but I can't get it to work. Then I want my phone to automatically launch the Spotify app and for the app to display that album. I want to tap my phone against an NFC tag hidden in LP sleeve. So I'm posting in the hope someone can tell me what obvious thing I am missing.
