How can I get a file from CamScanner or Office Lens in a web app running on Android?

android html angularjs google-chrome file-upload

At this point, there's no way to do that, unless you are working on a standalone APP.

The browser behavior for an element <input type="file"/> relies only on the default APP for handling Photos and Videos.

android html angularjs google-chrome file-upload

Have you had a look at this?

Relevant example from the link:

Here's an intent that launches the Zxing barcode scanner app. It follows the syntax thus:

intent:   //scan/   #Intent;    package=com.google.zxing.client.android;    scheme=zxing; end;

To launch the Zxing barcode scanner app, you encode your href on the anchor as follows:

 <a href="intent://scan/#Intent;scheme=zxing;package=com.google.zxing.client.android;end"> Take a QR code </a>

So for camscanner, the package is

com.intsig.camscanner

So use that instead of com.google.zxing.client.android in the above example.
