General :: Force Android To Launch Browser
Apr 19, 2014
I am developing a network that will have a welcome screen right after the Wifi connection of the device. The welcome screen is an html file that is downloaded from the router. When i try this system on IOS platform a captive portal screen (pseudo browser) is launched and read the HTML file.
Android platform on the other hand is only pop up a notification that is required to tap in order to open the html file (launching an installed browser).Is it possible to force the device to automatic launch browser without poping the notification?

It is basically in a force close loop because it's the home application, ADW Launcher btw (might want to avoid it.
How can I recover this without resetting the phone? Some way to get the settings menu up or something so I can uninstall this piece of trash app?

My device is a Galaxy Y, and has no official support from both the CM7 or the MIUi teams. There is CM7 build by a developer here on the XDA device thread, but it isn't completely stable due to lack of closed source drivers from Qualcomm.
Since MIUi is only available on MDPI and above devices, I have resorted to taking files from other ports for LDPI devices.
I was very successful in booting a release of MIUi I had made the previous day, but the browser kept encountering FC errors. There is already a port of MIUi available on my device forum, and that has the same problem too. I have taken a logcat, but I am completely lost as to why it keeps FCing.
Here is a segment of the logcat that is relevant to the issue at hand.

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...

Just bought LG Optimus S which on sale (half price). The browser was working fine at the beginning. Root it and after that my browser kept force to close everytime i open it.
Unroot it back, and do factory reset, and now it is even worse, i cant even go to googleplay (market) or anything to do with internet, it kept showing me this error:
If open browser
The application Browser (process com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
If open Market
The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
As this phone is locked to my provider, i bought some unlock key to unlock, now my phone is unlock but this thing is coming.
I called LG, they offer me for services which will take more around 4 weeks

For whatever reason every browser I try reloads tabs when I leave the browser. It's REALLY annoying - I'm stuck on edge most of the time, and finding out that my tabs suddenly reload just because I switched to twitter for a second.
I tried to pretty much disable the LMK, and it still did this...
I tried Chrome, Browser Plus, stock ICS browser, Dolphin and Opera (which does this slightly less often) Last time I had this problem was on my old tablet with only 256 MB of RAM. (Which still did this less often than the Note on ICS)
Every time this happened, I had at least 120 MB of ram free. Seriously, the note has a full gigabyte of ram, and yet this happens.
This doesn't happen to me on GB.
Is there anything I can do to make browsing normal again? Like, exclude a browser from getting killed, or something? I'm using a Galaxy Note..

I can launch several activities by clicking on link. These Activities are - phone dialing, web browser and probably couple more. My question is how to extend this list? How to make new Activity launch-able by link clicking? Let's say if someone receives email with link myapp://something.here?par1=val1 and clicks on this link my Activity starts. Is it doable?

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?

I tried changing the homepage, but it still crashes. Ever since upgrading to 2.1 OTA, the browser has always seemed to crash on first load. Launching the browser a second time brings it back up instantly. It's rather annoying. Anyone else notice this? Is there a tweak/change available to try?

Just tried out xscope for the first time last night, the best browser out there! Its pretty awesome, however I cannot get it to launch the YouTube player to play YouTube videos OR download them, any workaround for this? I only get a "play video or download" dialog when trying to play a YouTube clip and neither work.

Notice this on the stock browser when it first launches? This takes up at least 5 seconds or more when you're just trying to open up the browser to go to a site. Seems unnecessary. Would be better if it just pulled up the browser. Is there a setting to change this? I like the stock browser, otherwise and I'm not interested in Dolphin. I hear it has advertisements on it?

I need to make an android App that when the user navigates to my webpage with the browser and clicks on a specific link my App activity gets launched. I try to achieve this using Intent filters but without success. I followed some samples like Notepad and PhotoStream but nothing works for me.

I have just created and iPhone web app, which has some x264 (mp4) video files on it. When I link directly to the file on the iPhone and the user taps the link, the video player is loaded and the video starts playing. Using the app on an Android phone causes the browser to download the video instead of just playing it. Is there a way to force a video player to just boot up and play the video not download it?

I want to specifically run the default Android browser for a given URL. 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 stock browser used to crash immediately upon launch, no matter where it was being launched from. So I always have to start the browser twice.
But I recently rooted and went with xtrSense. At first it all seemed smoother, but after a few days, it's back to crashing on launch again. Once I re-launch, it seems to work fine, but this is still a hassle.
Thought rooting would b my magic "fix-all".

Instead of the mobile version? I figured since froyo has flash, that facebook might be fully functional, but it always opens the damned mobile version, instead of the full main pc version.

So I read through the SDK docs and I thought that calling a new activity(browser) as part of a task (myTask) will mean that activity* (browser) will close when a user closes the task (myTask) But I am left with a browser window.
Here is my scenario (in sudo code);
CODE:..........
Question 1: What is the cleanest way to ensure that when a user closes my app, any outside activities called will be closed to.
Question 2: Does a callback URl start a new Task, or use one in the stack if available?
