android browser based on webview

This project is now BEERWARE and most likely dead. So you can use the code from here or you can also help @xdevs23 instead, to build a great browser! Check out Cornowser. It is based on Chromium with a GREAT HTML5TEST Score

ultimatebrowserproject's Issues

home page fail to load

when app is on Home page, remove app from recent apps list. Open again app, then blank page will load, even address bar doesn't go to any link typed.

[Discussion][Issue] Fix Bottom Omnibox

So Keyboard is shown above the bottom omnibox while typing, so it gets hidden behind the keyboard.

While scrolling, bottom omnibox hides (While scrolling top, should be reversed) and shows "about:blank: for a brief period like some Milliseconds when it starts hiding.

Overall, the omnibox has choppy animations, need to fix that too.

Enter key in address bar not working

I was trying to test your app on Genymotion emulator. but couldn't open any webpage as a physical keyboard is attached. I am not able to press enter after typing a address in the address bar. the soft keyboard is not shown when physical keyboard is attached. I am sure this issue will also happen on devices with external keyboards attached.

Hope you can add Ninja's description at UBP!

Today I know that there is a browser in XDA called UltimateBrowserProject, which is similar to my product, Ninja web browser.

Since Ninja is open source so forks my code is OK, but replace my license description is very very UNFRIENDLY!

PLEASE ADD Ninja AT UBP'S LICENSE DESCRIPTION!

BTW, Ninja use Apache License, Version 2.0

Add Deep-Link Support

Allow Application to ask user to choose whether to open webpage or the application.
For example when you click on Twitter link, it should ask user whether the user wants to open the Twitter app or go to the webpage.

[Discussion] Updater

We need to host some files on a web server, don't matter which one, but we need it to integrate the updater.

We could just host it on my website.

Empty space created when hiding bottom omnibox

Upon hiding the omnibox at the bottom position, empty space at the top is created, which does not occur when hiding the omnibox at the top position. It is not an animation problem, since I tried hiding both using the same method, omnibox.setVisibility(View.GONE) without any animations. I am unsure as to how to solve this, so if anyone has any ideas, that would be great. The code can be found over at the feature-fullscreen branch.

I Love how kids say everything is their own project!

Here's a rip-off of UBP.
This guy here claims that both the devs were "affiliated" and says both the projects are now different. I don't actually care about that much, all I do care about is that, he has removed the license from the settings. Also, where as GPL3 claims that the other "developer" has to retain a license and make it closed-source only with the devs permission, while still claiming the license. The license though, is no where to be found in the application.

You can check out the applications -
Snap Browser Lite
Snap Browser Pro

And report it needfully.

Browsing History is not appearing.

While clicking on History icon, it appears blank. Showing "Current list is empty".

Clicking on native ads from other source (i.e out side from browser), it is not redirecting to play store

I am using your stable version 1.4.6. When we click on banner ads from external source (like from other app), it is not redricting to play store, it searches url in google search. Basically it is not parsing the url of the native ads.

If we are clicking of banner ads from browser it works fine and also parsing the url of the ads and also redricting to play store.

Same Page appears with new tab as we minimize and restoring.

I am Using stable version
When we perform double click on any external url:(i.e from Facebook, Whatsapp or from any source), Pop appears with 3 option( 1. Foreground 2. Copy Link 3. Share). As we click on Foreground, page opens and when we remove this page it get removed. Just After that at same time when we minimize the app and restoring it, It appears with that page which we had removed last time after opening URL through : double click --> foreground.

Test Issue

Testing out making an issue using the API

Add Webpage Shortcuts to the homescreen.

I know how to get the Title and place a shortcut on the homescreen, but can't seem to get a webpage to make a bookmark (Or Shortcut W/e) on the homescreen. Any help is appreciated.
The snippet below is executed when the person clicks "Add to Homescreen" button -

String title = UltimateBrowserProjectWebView.getTitle();
String url = UltimateBrowserProjectWebView.getUrl();
Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
shortcut.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcut);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME, title);
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE,
Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.ic_launcher));               
intent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(intent);

Add "Save link as" option for certain pages.

Some websites open up text file in the browser like this one.
Currently there is no way to download this file, and I'm unsure how to do that.
Any help on this one is appreciated.

BUGS LIST - Stack Trace.

This issue page will consist of mostly to-fix stack trace for future weekly build updates.

Add option to open link in Foreground.

Yeah some people like to open links in foreground rather than the background, so this would be fine. Will be added soon when I understand how to fix that without changing major part of the code.

Issue again

I hope the description should be added in you new version app in Setting/Others/License.

And the description format should be just like the Lightning Browser and others:

That's should be OK :)

Save and restore open tabs

Restore last session tabs when application is re-opened. This will take a shared preference on how many tabs were open, and save a file with all the URL and then according to the number of pages in SP, we can start the URL(s) again. Or is there a better way to do that?

Switching tabs after showing omnibox

Upon hiding the omnibox, then showing it again, switching tabs causes the app to crash. The problem appears to be caused here.
