Intents with extra parameters unreliable on iPhone

Client 5.0.3

Activating a layar intent from Safari on IOS does not always pass extra parameters, like this:

layar://mylayer?action=refresh&myParam=123

These intents do work correctly from the internal Layar web view

Hello All,

The bug reported by Howard regarding the layar intent not working correctly in list view & map view is fixed in iPhone v6.0.

The one reported by Johannes(QAREV-193) is still open. I will remind the product team about it.

Best Regards,

Xuan

Hi Xuan,

Thanks for looking at this. 

Could you test the layar in San Fransisco - 37.7749295, -122.4194155 and let me know your thoughts.

Kind regards,

 

Howard

Hi Howard,

Thanks for letting us know. I have tested the issues (using a test layer) you mentioned using latest internal iPhone build and android v5.0.3. However, I could not reproduce the issues. I could not find POIs in your "myjobs" layer, can you provide us some test coordinates ?

Thanks

Xuan

I've got a problem with the layar:// intent too on iPhone v5.x. 

I have an action like this:

		$actions = array(
			array(
				"contentType" => "application/vnd.layar.internal",
				"label" => $count > 1 ? "$count items" : "See the item",
				"uri" => "layar://examplelayar/?pageKey=$userid&loc=$loc",
				"closeBiw" => true
			)

 

The behaviour on Android is that it refreshes the layer, removes the POI and reloads a new set according to the parameters. Unfortunately, on iPhone, the original POI remain AS WELL as loading the new set. v 4.x of the iPhone client behaved as expected in AR view.

Another strange behaviour is that the layar:// intent refreshes the map view in Android but NOT list view.  It doesn''t work at all for iPhone

Please check the layar called JobAmp to test it. http://m.layar.com/open/myjobs

Thanks

Hello Johannes,

Actually, we do not recommend to use Layar:// intent from outside of layar app. This is because you do not always know whether the user already has layar installed. It is better to use http://m.layar.com/open/<layername> in this scenario.

I have reported this issue QAREV-193.

Best regards,

Xuan
