NFC auto-open android application

NFC auto-open android application - android

I have been instructed to get an NFC tag to open an app that I'm creating using phonegap and I'm adding the following code to my AndroidManifest.xml file.
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="hesdev.nixtel.com"
android:pathPrefix=""
android:priority="1000"
/>
</intent-filter>
I want the NFC tag to open the app and bring it to the front. A URL similar to this is written to my tag:
hesdev.nixtel.com?nfc=kj43hg4g32o2j34hb3g43j453
My question is why is it not working for me? When I scan the NFC tag it should open my application right? It isn't. It opens the web-browser on the tab and brings me to said URL.

~7 hours down the drain...
There was nothing wrong with the code- it was my tags that weren't working properly. Whatever my tag writer was doing it would open the browser and direct it to the designated URL but wasn't starting the app. I changed my tag writer to this one...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nxp.nfc.tagwriter&hl=en
and it worked straight away.

But it just doesn't show up. I am using my phone as test device, could that be a factor?
I've been looking for answers for 2 hours now, please help.

Oppo Phone 4.4.2 not receiving any event for my app after Reboot

I am receiving Network change event on my broadcast receiver when my App is active but once I reboot the phone (Oppo phone 4.4.2 version), my App does not receive any of those events - Network change, Boot completed.
Have been struggling for a day now, your help is highly appreciated.

It turned out to be simple - my app had to be added to Auto Run list in the phone's Security Center. Once added, my app received BOOT_COMPLETED and other events.

Gradle script xml transformation

I'm writting a gradle script and i need to modify my androidManifest in this script.
I don't know how to do that, i need to change 2 properties in this manifest.
I have tried to use a regEx with a ant.replaceregexp but i can't write my regEx to replace only the android:name of the activity node.
There is a better way to modify it or no ?
Maybe i can use a XML parser but i don't know how to write my file after.

I want to change the " < activity> =>android:name = xxxxx" property to " < activity> =>android:name = zzzzzzz"
Thanks.

You can use this regex with groups:
/(<activity.*android:name=")(\w+)(.*">)/gm
And this subtitution:
\1zzzzz\3

You should change your targetSdkVersion, 16 is for 4.1 and because your minSdkVersion is 7, you should be able to make it less but that might not show the Holo theme. More information is here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html

Phonegap Android app - not reading cookie on WIFI?

I have built a Android HTML5 app using Phonegap which uses an iframe to process payments via system on a partner companies server.
The system drops a cookie with an inbox code on the phone which means that once the user has register once - the system uses the cookie to save them re-registering - all worked fine until time for launch and now it will only work on wifi and not on 3G!?
This has all previously worked - so it doesn't make any logical sense to me! I wondered whether it could be due to a permission change in my manifest file? (which is below)
Does anybody have any ideas at all?
