Filtering browser intents in android app

http://stackoverflow.com – I have an app which filters URL intents. So, when a link is clicked a pop up is called from which I open my app. Now, from there my app redirects the user to another link. This time I want the URL to be directly passed to an actual browser and not my app. So, basically I don't want the dialog to choose which browser to use with my app showing up when I'm redirecting the user. How do I go about this? Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(redirectLink)); startActivity(browserIntent); This calls the browser dialog. I'd like to open the actual browser and pass tha (HowTos)

I am currently checking the application version in background every 24 hours once in my web server not in android market. If update available that it prompt the user to download the new apk.

I would like to open just one image and have pitch-zoom function, so (as I think) easiest way to do that is to open that image in gallery intent.

I think this is a basic question. Is there any option to stop an activity by using intent.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL,Uri.parse("tel:5554")); startActivity(intent);

This is my code. I would like to stop this activity (That means, i want to drop this call) if the user is busy or something. What can I do for that?

I'm working on app that have number of imageviews, when i click on the image i want it to open via android default gallery image picker. i've tried in this way :

String str = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() +"/"+R.drawable.wall1;

Uri path = Uri.parse(str); Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setDataAndType(path, "image/*"); startActivity(intent);

I'm trying to open a zip file from my aplication, but it doesn't works

Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///mtn/sdcard/download/teste.zip"); Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri); startActivity(it);

I've already tried other options like:

File file = new File("mnt/sdcard/download/teste.zip"); Intent it = new Intent(); it.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

[Steps to reproduce]:

Create a an Activity Insert a url to open in browser Now there is further a link in that web page that we have opened. Open the Location link in the web page, and then Complete action using dialog will pop up Select Browser from Complete action using dialog

[Actually Result]

The Complete action using dialog pops up again after step5.

[Expectedly Result]

The given li

Below here in code startActivity(intent) gives me an error

Here's my code:

public class MyWebViewClient3 extends WebViewClient {

@Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { if (Uri.parse(url).getHost().equals("www.facebook.com")) { // This is my web site, so do not override; let my WebView load the page return false;

I have application that supports IMDB search. If there is IMDB application installed on device, my application starts IMDB app with search parameters.

If there isn't IMDB app installed, my app starts browser...and loads IMDB search page.

builder = new StringBuilder(); Intent intent1 = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(builder.append("http://www.imdb.com/findq=").append(

I've written an app which is to be started from a browser via html link (company internal net, NOT internet). I've defined an intent-filter with an own URL scheme in AndroidManifest.xml and it works fine, but only for Google Chrome. All other Browsers try to load a website, which does not exist.
