I was wondering if I could provide a link to be followed by a web browser (most specifically in a QRCODE) to insert a contact with the contact data already filled. I tried content://com.android.contacts in my mobile firefox but it crashed. I also couldn't find any absolute URI for this in the Android documentation. Is it possible?

If you want to do this with QR code, another phone should always have program which can parse QR code information and call system method to add contact. But in Android you can programmatically share contact. This link can be helpful: How to share a contact programatically in android

I tried it and it opened the Contacts app indeed. But I got an error 'Couldn't import vCard, The format isn't supported": I tried with: BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:4.0 N:Ceolin;Renato;;; FN:Renato Ceolin EMAIL:[email protected] END:VCARD – Renato Ceolin Aug 13 '19 at 13:51

Try to do some research about vCard formats and check what it is sent and came in appropriate format – Peter Staranchuk Aug 13 '19 at 13:52

Worked for vCard v3.0, not for v4 tough. But that's what I needed, thank you – Renato Ceolin Aug 13 '19 at 14:03
