Android : Opening A Url In The Phone's Default Browser
Jul 8, 2010
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".
Here's the script I use to open up an webpage:
CODE:..........................
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...
I've used this pages to get to where I am:

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?

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?

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.

I 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 was wondering if anyone knew of a way or an app that would allow me to see all my gmail accounts when opening the gmail app.
Basically instead of it opening straight to the last account I had opened I would like for it to default to the page that shows me each of my accounts and their unread counts. You know, the page you get when you hit Menu - Accounts?

I downloaded an external browser and I would like to use it as my default, so if I click on a link, it opens it up in the new browser. Is there a way to go about doing this?

My 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 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.

I'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.

How can we make our browser as default in android. I want to implement that when you open up the internet browser it gives you two options: regular browser and Mybrowser (third party browser which is made by me). If you select the regular browser it says that the phone cannot access the internet unless it is on the Mybrowser. Can we implement this feature? If yes than how?

won't stay default *launcher. After one of the recent Launcherpro updates I'm having this issue where the window pops up asking which launcher I want to use when hitting the home button. It's not remember to default to launcherpro even when clicking the default box. It seems to reset after holding the home button to bring up the recent apps window. Every time now without fail. Can you test it out to see how widespread this bug is? Please list your phone and rom.

I've got my work account set up in google, but I don't want it on my phone - so I only check email through the browser. However I like to have the stock browser still be my profile. So what I've done is set up Dolphin to have my work's profile. What I'd like to do is set up a short cut to a bookmark in Dolphin to open in dolphin. Anytime I've set up a shortcut to the URL on the screen it opens up in the stock browser - any way to make a specific shortcut to open a URL in an application of my choosing? I don't know enough of Linux/Android to try and edit some changes. My phone is a Magic (MyTouch3g for you americans) and is running 1.5 with SenseUI and is non-rooted.

I've set Dolphin to be my default browser that way when I open links from emails and such it'll use Dolphin. But at times I want to use the Stock Browser, I'll just open up "Internet" but when I get there and click on a link from within the Stock Browser, it'll open it up and move me to Dolphin. I pretty much want to say "Hey, if I open up the Stock Browser, I want to use it but otherwise use Dolphin for everything else".

Can anyone tell me what the default setting is for the homepage of the nexus one's browser (presumable the browser of any other non-carrier-messed-with handset too)? I changed it and now can't remember what it was to set it back again. It used to show a lite version of google.com.

My mother is having this random problem where her web browser closes, sends her back to the Google search page. It seems to only happen when she has some tabs open. Note that it does not force close it just crashes. She is very disappointed and would like to know the solution. My evo sometimes send me to the home screen but does not close.
