Is it possible to create a QR code that holds URL + data (numbers) that I can decode from my own app?
Also, I need it in such a way that if someone tries to scan it from a regular QR scanner it will only direct to the URL.
I am reading QR cards on my application to read data (there are few cards in different locations so reading the QR will tell me where the person is).
But I also want to do that if someone that does not have my app and randomly sees the QR code and tries to scan it with normal QR scanners it will redirect him to my app's URL..
Is this possible?
I tried something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/<myapp> 123
and I simply seperate the first string from the second string to read the 123
But when I scan it with a QR reader it redirects to a broken link..
You should specify what programming language you are using.
Anyways, a solution would be to use GET parameters to be read by your app and not by the site.
Example:
www.yoursite.com/?location=Boston
If your app can read the variable location than you are good to go.
Of course the site will have to ignore it.
