Normally if there is a link, in my case a podcast, and if you long press the link it pops up with a menu and one of the options is to "save link" which is basically the same as right clicking on a PC and saving the target as.
I have installed Dolphin and like it, and I've made it my default browser, which is great. However, it is not only the system default, but it even opens links I click on in the Android provided browser (sometimes I both open). On your computer, when you click links in your non-default browser it doesn't send the links to the default one, and it shouldn't on this OS, either. Any ideas how to keep Dolphin as my system default browser, but not have it open links I click on in the Android web browser?

I have a web page that uses a custom font, using this CSS piece of code: If I load the page in the browser in Android 1.1, 1.5 or 1.6, this technique works fine, the font is downloaded and used. But these were the good times. Now this is all gone. With 2.0 my declaration is ignored, the default font is used, and I'm sad! This is in the Browser app, and in my app that uses a WebView.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Android emulator with AVD of Android 2.1 and I have the following problem: Trying to load a URL in a WebView using webView.loadUrl causes it to open in the browser instead.Note: I am talking about the initial opening, not the issue in which links from the WebView open in a browser, though, perhaps it is somehow connected.I've tried several things:I've removed <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> from the manifest. That actually made it work correctly, i.e, load the html into the webview. However, as one would expect, the only thing it loaded is "unable to connect the internet" error page.I've debugged the project to make sure and indeed at loadUrl function, it opens Android browser. The CatLog at this point is as such:05-23 22:54:06.858: INFO/Activity Manager(51): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android. intent. category.BROWSABLE]dat=http://m.walla.co.il/ErrorPage.aspx?ReturnUrl=/Default.aspx
cmp=com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity i've tried downloading a real sample project ("Hello Android" book source files, project - BrowserView). However, it didn't work just the same. I've created a new project and followed the directions at Google's official tutorial of using WebView and got the same result.I haven't find anyone else complaining about it. Why does it happen?

I'm trying to download the SMS app from XDA and the guy has it up as a zip file. I download it and extract it, and it's a folder with random crap in it. No apk.
Then I read that I just change the file name. I'm on a Mac, so I change the filename and it verifies if I want to change it from .zip to .apk and I say "yes." Put it on my card and Astro still doesn't recognize it. It's list, but it's an icon with a window and a gear in front of it.
