Android :: Launch Droid App From An HTML Webpage?

Aug 3, 2010

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I did search the group before writing.

I am trying to launch an Android app via a hyperlink from an HTML site - i.e. tel:+448458001020 would call play.com from my phone upon clicking the button that has aforementioned hyperlink. Or putting a hyperlink on a button geo:0,0?z=17 opens up google maps on my phone with my location at a zoom of 17, mailto:n...@email.com would email and obviously http:// would take the user to another webpage.

Is it possible to launch an Android app already installed on the phone this way?

Android :: Droid WebView Crashes When Clicking On A Link / Fix It

Oct 13, 2009

I have some WebView widgets inside my Activity. I use loadData() to set the content, and this html contains a link. Some of my WebViews work okay, when I click the link, the web browser is started in a new window, but some make my app crash when I click on a link.

There seems to be a problem with the Intent that the WebView fires when I click the URL, but I have no control of this Intent, I think. Does anybody have any idea?

I use this AsyncTask to set the content in the WebView, and it works fine.code...

Android : Extending WebView - Override Action Of Clicking On A Link

Feb 2, 2009

I want to extend the WebView so that I can override the action of clicking on a link in the webview. At first glance I do not see how to do this. I tried adding an onclick handler to the WebView and that had absolutely no effect. I am not seeing very much info on extending the WebView control and was hoping someone might have some suggestions.

Android :: Detect User's Location From Webpage Opened In Browser?

Dec 24, 2009

Visiting www.google.com on the Android browser (or even with an android spoofed user-agent), presents the option to "Share Location". When clicked, it uses the GPS/Cell phone towers to figure out the location. I tried the google.loader.clientLocation but that only works using the IP address. Is there a method to tap into the Android OS and access GPS data from a regular web application (and not an Android application) similar to the way Google does? [Perhaps Google uses the Google Gears app on Android to access this data.]

Android : Can A Webpage On Mobile Browser Ask / Get Users Location From Phone?

Jun 25, 2010

Is there any way that a webpage can make a request for the users location from the android / iphone device ? Since all I need is the users location, I am trying to figure out if there is anyway I can bypass developing a native app and use some nifty html5 call to just get the users location so all a user would need to do is visit my webpage and provide permission to access his/her location?

Is there any way to make the browser or any browser to be able to double click a web page. My work website requires double click but double tapping obviously changes the focus in android. Yes, the work website is a joke but that's besides the point.

Android :: Always Get Complete Action Using - When Clicking On Stock Browser Links

Nov 15, 2010

I am a newcomer to Android having recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S I9000M (my first smartphone ever), marketed in Canada under the name Vibrant. It is running Android 2.1 and I have not yet rooted, unlocked or otherwise modified the phone.

I have downloaded and installed three browsers in addition to the stock Internet browser: Dolphin, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile.

After installing Opera Mobile I started having the following annoying problem:

When I was in the stock browser, every time I clicked a link the "Complete action using" window would pop up prompting me to select which browser I want to use. The choices were: Dolphin, Internet and Opera Mini (curiously, no Opera Mobile). I would check the "Use by default for this action" box and proceed to click "Internet" (the stock browser), which should have made the stock browser my default one. However, next time I clicked a link it would happen all over again.

This happened only in the stock browser, never in Dolphin or one of the Operas.

It's like my Android kept forgetting my choice of default browser although in the settings for the stock browser it said it was default.

I also noticed that after the installation of Opera Mobile the delay between clicking a link in any browser and the browser's reaction became noticeably longer (up to a second).

Android :: Way To Launch Browser?

Nov 11, 2009

I am trying to create a widget that, when clicked on, launches the browser and goes to a particular URL. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of problems. I started with a (working) widget that, when clicked, opened the alarm clock. Then, using the code from another Groups post (http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/ 11e54b1df3a4d279), I tried to convert it to open the browser instead. Here is my (non-working) code...

Android : Launch Browser Without Starting A New Window?

Feb 9, 2009

Let's say I have an app that has a "search on Google" button. Every time the user choose it, I want to bring up the browser and run a Google search. Currently, I use: startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)); However, each time, it launches a new Window inside the browser. After a few times, the browser complains that it cannot open new Window anymore. Is there a way to tell the browser to re-use the last Window I created? Something like what you would do with <href=xxx target=_mywindow> in HTML?
