View 2 RepliesMy open source application needs to browse local HTML files on the SD card, and WebView is not enough because I need history and bookmarks. I wrote the following code. It correctly opens the browser, but fails to reach catalog.html and in fact it just opens whatever page was last browsed:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/ myapp/catalog.html");
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setData(uri); intent.setClassName("com.android.browser", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"); startActivity(intent);
I've used the code from the PDF rendering question
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2883355/how-to-render-pdf-in-android
And it works! Props to the answerer, but my question is about doing that same thing but also sending a keyword to search in the pdf. I have no idea how to do this, should I set a flag?
I'm having a struggle understanding why my intent is not working. I basically just copied paste from other examples in my code that work perfectly like this. Here it is:
Intent addIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), thenNnowMode.class);
Bundle w = new Bundle(); String activityName = "addPic";
w.putString("activity", activityName);
w.putParcelable("bitmap", selectedDeviceImage);
//a.putString("id", picId); addIntent.putExtras(w);
startActivity(addIntent); finish();
The intent is opening a different class called thenNnow.class instead of thenNnowMode.class and I have no idea why this is happening. I've tried sending the intent to open other activities other than thenNnowMode but it always opens thenNnow. Am I missing some silly syntax mistake? It's so strange, its the same code. I am not sure if it's relevant but the thenNnowMode class uses the device camera
I just want to know what intent am I going to use to open a mail client. I can open the "compose view" of the mail client but I cant find an intent to open the "inbox view" of the mail client. The same thing for opening the "mail" application from android device. For example, from my application, I want to call "mail" application. What intent should I use for it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to catch the intent that is fired when someone clicks on a hyperlink to a web page in the MMS browser. I have this in the manifest:
</intent-filter> <intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="http" /> </intent-filter>
However, when I click on http://www.ibm.com it only launches Browser. Same when I do
$ am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d http://www.ibm.com
in an adb shell.
Why a inline webview into which I pass a URL is now opening a browser session for the URL instead of populating the in app webView? It works on the emulator perfectly but a physical device shows the browser. The emulator is build CUPCAKE 150240 The device is CRC1.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a swf file on the sdcard and I wrote a html file flash.html with the swf file embeded. The only way to open it now is:
1) open the browser
2) type in file:///sdcard/flash.html The swf runs fine.
But if use the code list below:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/flash.html");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent); It shows the error: The application has stopped unexpectly.
I also tried the following code using:
WebView: WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.list_web);
browser.loadUrl("file:///sdcard/flash.html");
The Webview showed up, but the area should start the swf is empty. So is there a way to open the html through code? I also think if there is a way to open the android browser using ACTION_VIEW by a simple html then reset the URL to be "file:///sdcard/ flash.html" through code?
I'm trying to make test-program that opens a website by pushing a button. I have made a listener and everything, my problem is just that, the url-opening-script makes an error and tells me "Uri cannot be resolved".

I have the import android.app.Activity;, import android.content.Intent; and import android.content.ContentUris; (maybe the last one isn't needed) so I can't find out what's wrong...
I hope someone knows what I've done wrong, or forgot to import...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using APP Inventor, but it put my question as general from Android. How can i directly download a file from WEB without the browser try to open it.
I i put a url like: privatesite.blablabla/image.jpg
He will put the image in the browser, because browser can load the file and show it on screen, but i want to download it without reading it.
I need that to put inside App inventor, but if it's possible to do it in HTML or other, that's ok, i think i can make app inventor run an external application.
My phone was working great, had the stock internet browser loaded up with all my bookmarks. They were showing in the bookmarks widget as well.Now when I try to open "bookmarks" in "menu", the browser crashes and forces me to close it. The bookmarks widget shows no bookmarks either.I do not want to do a hard reset if I don't have to.
Is there a way to open embedded PDF Docs / PDF Files in a browser on Android?Here is a link to a demo page:http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie /2007/08/using_the_html_embed_tag _to_di. html None of the following browsers is opening the PDF file, though I have tried all kind of PDF Viewers for Android (PDF Viewer, Beamreader, Adobe PDF, etc) together with the following browsers:
- xScope Lite
- Skyfire
- Steel
- Doplhin
- Opera Mini 5
- Default Android Browser - Same goes for embedded power point and word documents
Seems that whenever I open the browser it goes to my last page visited, rather than the default home page (Google.) How can I make it go to Google whenever I open the browser from home?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to find out how to create an intent that will open the user's preferred browser without specifying the URL. I know how to open it by giving a specific URL like this:Intent intent = new Intent();intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData (android.net.Uri.parse ("http://www.google.com")) ;context.startActivity (intent);I don't want to open the browser to any page in particular, just the set homepage or whatever page the user was on last. I've thought about looking up the homepage set within the app but you can't do it with the default Browser app because it is private. Does anybody know of a way to do this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an app that launches the browser activity to perform a Twitter OAuth authorization. This process uses a callback url which will re-launch the activity that started the browser activity in the first place.My problem is that the browser pages remain in the history stack and when the user then clicks back from the preferences activity that launched the browser in the first place, they don't go back to the app's main activity, but instead are brought back to the browser. I've tried adding flags to the launching intent to prevent history and reset on clear, but it doesn't seem to work when running on my phone, only on the emulators.

I'm using this code: I also tried adding <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.browser" /> to the manifest. Am I missing something here? PS: I'm not interested in using startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"))) as it will list all the choices for the browsing Intent.

My main (launcher) activity works fine, so I assume there is no issue with installation on the emulator.
