It would be nice if one didn't have to type in the URL to the iCal feed manually. While the intent filter for iCal is currently broken, the app can get its own URL by calling the barcode scanner directly via an Intent. Ideally, there would be a button on the URL loading activity that launches the Barcode Scanner. The Barcode Scanner then reads a URL from a QR code and reports rack, where the app can pull a URL out of the Intent bundle and use that as the new URL.

The link for the Intent documentation for ZXing (by far the most popular barcode scanner app) is here: http://zxing.org/w/docs/javadoc/index.html
