Launch Genius Scan from another app (Developers Guide)

The following article provides developers with URL schemes (iOS) and intents (Android) to launch the app and trigger a scan directly from their own applications.

iOS

URL schemes can let you open Genius Scan from other apps.

The URL schemes of Genius Scan are:

• geniusscan:// for Genius Scan

• geniusscanenterprise:// for Genius Scan Enterprise

Android

It's possible to start a scan flow in Genius Scan from another app using an intent. Genius Scan supports two types of intents:

• the standard android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE intent which enables capturing a single page and returning this page as a JPEG image.

• a custom com.thegrizzlylabs.geniusscan.DOCUMENT_CAPTURE intent which enables capturing multiple pages and returning these pages as a PDF file.

Starting in Android 11, only pre-installed system camera apps can respond to the android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE intent
