Can I integrate Microsoft Lens into my application? - android

I like Office Lens's ability to automatically crop, focus, and align a picture... mainly for receipt and expense processing
I want to have an app flow that goes like this:
User opens my app and clicks photograph receipt
Lens opens (android intent, or similar in iOS)
User takes picture
Picture is returned to my application for processing
I am having trouble making that flow happen, and to make the data transfer (photo) between the camera and my app seamless. What options do I have?

If you read this file carefully you will see that this is impossible to interact this the other API's. Neither 'broadcast' no proper 'intent-filter' to interact this the other applications.
This is impossible nowadays.
Anyway, obviously, you can save to local storage and retrieve the data from SD card using your app.

Android Wear Authorization not Working

I created an app for the Wear operating system.
I used Android Studio 3.1.3
In this app I inserted a button and on the click of this I would like the watch to vibrate.
The problem is that the permissions of the app do not work.
I entered the request for vibration permission in the manifest, but when I start the app on the clock does not require me permissions and if I check the permissions registered for the app tells me that no authorization is required.
where am I wrong?
this is my manifest

</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
Launcher activity is not called in any version of android.
Try this :
I think remove this:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="Restart_Service"></action>
</intent-filter>
//need to modified
<meta-data
android:name="android.app.searchable" //it must contain package name and .searchable
android:resource="#xml/searchable">
</meta-data>
OR
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=".Restart_Service"></action> //add dot
</intent-filter>
really no log?..try more times,try to Log at application onCreate() and activity onCreate()
delete sth,like your MainActivity or RestartService,and try again
If launcher icon is working and launching from studio is not working, then disable Instant Run and try.

Android app not compatible by any device

The funny thing is that a local build of the app works on my Android device, but it does not work after sending it to PhonegapBuild and then send it to Google Play store. Also worth mentioning is the fact that I can run it on my device from PhonegapBuild, but not from the Google Play store.
Some other facts: the app is build using Ionic (and PhonegapBuild).
What am I doing wrong here?

Try this
Expected result
When I click the link in the browser on the device I expect it to launch the app "myapp", since it's installed.
Actual result
Google Play is launched searching for "my app" (which correctly fails since the app isn't).
What am I doing wrong here?
It should be intent://location/#Intent (note the '/' before #Intent).
