Open the native browser from an android app
From my App, How do I force open a link only in the NATIVE android browser?
Intent intent = new Intent();
ComponentName comp = new ComponentName("com.google.android.browser","com.google.android.browser.BrowserActivity");
intent.setComponent(comp);
intent.setAction("android.intent.action.VIEW");
intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.BROWSABLE");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
intent.setData(uri);
try
{
startActivity(intent);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Is there a way I can know if there is a browser set to default or not?
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("URL"));
List<ResolveInfo> list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
if (list.size() > 0) {
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : list) {
resolveInfo.isDefault();// will let u know if the app is set to default
}
} else {
//No apps available
}
You have to make the following for calling the native browser
intent.setComponent(new
componentName("com.android.browser","com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"));
