Uri.Parse deprecated

Question

I have a barcode scanner app. I am trying to scan barcode and search at google. But when I try to search as mentioned here, It says Uri.Parse() deprecated. I couldn't find anything useful and Uri documentation does not say anything about it.

Uri Documentation

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Uri.html

Is there any other option or replacement it?

Answer 1

You are referencing the Uri from System in which Parse is Obsolete:

[ObsoleteAttribute("The method has been deprecated. It is not used by the system.
protected virtual void Parse()

The SO question you are referencing is using Uri from the Android.Net namespace:

Android.Net.Uri uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse("http://www.google.com/#q=fish");
var intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionView, uri);
StartActivity(intent);
