How to push and open a URL via NFC, skipping Android Beam UI?
Use case: I want a passing by user to Tap his phone on my Kiosk Android Device and get my store's URL opened on his phone's default browser app.
The only option that I could think of the three available (HCE, R/W, P2P) is P2P with Beam. But, the issue, as soon as the user taps the device on my NFC, the whole application shrinks and embeds in a Black UI with a label that says "Touch to Beam". Is there a way I could avoid this 2 step process?
It thought it must be possible because, when we share a URL from chrome app using Beam, it just opens in the other device not asking to "Touch to Beam". But I could not find any answer that supports it.
fun send(activity: Activity, url: String, callback: (Boolean)->Unit){
mCallback = callback
mNfcAdapter?.setOnNdefPushCompleteCallback(this, activity)
mNfcAdapter?.setNdefPushMessage( NdefMessage(NdefRecord.createUri(Uri.encode(url))), activity)
}
override fun onNdefPushComplete(event: NfcEvent?) {
mCallback?.invoke(true)
}

I don't know the details of how this works with a active NFC endpoint (your kiosk). If this were an NFC tag, you would simply have an NDEF record on the tag that had the URL.

That means, Kisok should act as a NFC Tag. However, based on the answer from stackoverflow.com/questions/23155719/… it seems not possible without a specific reader application.
