Choose Browser Example

Hello Guys,

Today I am going to explain select browser for display any url into web.

Its a simple thing to implement into your android app.

Just see the sample code.

NOTE: Run this app into your device for see the proper output.

Sample Code:

Permission: Internet permission is required in your manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

File: activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/webView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

File: MainActivity.java

package com.sneha.choosebrowserdemo;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

   WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);

   WebViewClient viewClient = new WebViewClient()
   {
       @Override
       public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
       {
           Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(url)); 
           startActivity(intent); 
           view.loadUrl(url);
           return true;
       }
   };

   webView.setWebViewClient(viewClient);
   webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
}

Output:

Happy Coding...!!!
