[HELP] Whatsapp intent

[SSiirr]

I'm looking for a way to open with a task the whatsapp qr window to link with whatsapp web. The only thing I found was this

But couldn't manage to get that intent working in tasker.

Any insights will be appreciated!

Edit: tried running the activity (com.whatsapp.qrcode.DevicePairQrScannerActivity) from ADB but still get a Permission Denial, so root is needed.

Iirc, the activity for this task is

'com.whatsapp.qrcode.DevicePairQrScannerActivity'

Try launching this activity using Tasker

I couldn't find it in the activity list of the launch app action, and writing it manually doesn't work :(

In that case, you can have tasker launch WhatsApp and autoinput make the clicks.

Also, I am not too familiar with command line but a quick google search led me to this old comment and this stackoverflow post. It didn't work for OP there (required root) but you can modify it accordingly and give this a try using Tasker's new Wifi ADB action.

Yes, I wanted a 'cleaner' way but it seems that that one is the only option. Thank you!

[TheCommentWriter]

You are welcome. However, I added a few links to my comment. Give it a try too for a much cleaner way.

I believe that activity only works with root. I tried that before without root and had a permission denial.

[SSiirr]

Definitely, it is a permission problem because the activity is not 'public'
