Tasker URL Launcher

★★★★★ Can be used for barcodes as well. Samsung GS2 w/Jellybean.Downloaded this to try it with reading barcode labels. It works! Instead of an NFC tag, create a QR barcode & scan with your phone. I just used the "free text" option of an online QR barcode generator to be "tasker://task". After it read the barcode I then just tapped the screen to "Open Browser" & it ran my task. The big advantage of being able to use the BCS is that I can generate unlimited free barcodes for those places I don't want to risk losing a NFC tag, for infrequently used tasks & for simple tasks that I don't want to dedicate one of my precious NFC tags. Example: putting barcodes on test fixtures at my work where I can scan a barcode to start a timer to remind me to come back. And since they are paper barcodes taped to the machine, I can make a strip of several for different times. No wasted tags! Woo hoo.

★★★★★ Also works for qr codes. Keep in mind this only works with Barcode scanner. Any other scanner will automatically open in the browser. Also works for qr codes. Keep in mind this only works with Barcode scanner. Any other scanner will automatically open in the browser.

★★☆☆☆ FAIL I still can not open web pages !!!!!!!!

★★☆☆☆ Has promise but needs sorting out on Kitkat Doesn't allow seamless task invocation on KitKat. I get a "tags" popup asking me to select the app to process the NFC event. If I disable the tags app then just get an error beep and Tasker URL doesn't action the event.

★★☆☆☆ Can't get it to work I guess this could be cool, but NFC task launcher works soooo much better. If there were a more robust instruction set here, this would be a solid choice.
