            sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
            sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "This is my text to send.");
            sendIntent.putExtra("jid", "91123456798" + "@s.whatsapp.net");

You cannot get the phone number from the QR since the value after ../qr/ is decoded by WhatsApp.
If you only want to open the WhatsApp application (that will later ask you to add the contact), once you have the qr code link https://wa.me/qr/YOUR_CODE you can just open the url using a normal intent. The code below should do the work and you will see a dialog prompting to chose between a browser or Whatsapp if it is installed: 

val url = "https://wa.me/qr/YOUR_CODE"
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
intent.data = Uri.parse(url)
startActivity(intent)
