Is there any way to find out which browser is set as a default browser on android device? On android device there may be multiple browsers installed but out of which only one set as a default. I need to find it out programmatically.
Thanks in advance. Early response is appreciated..
Users, however, have the option to change the default browser by following a few simple steps. -Open the Settings app from the phone's menu. -Next, tap on 'Apps' and select the Default Apps option. -Here, you will see your phone's current default browser along with another browser installed on your app.
This code may help you:
Intent browserIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse("http://")); ResolveInfo resolveInfo = getPackageManager().resolveActivity(browserIntent,PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY); // This is the default browser's packageName String packageName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName;
and if wanna start it, do as follows:
startActivity(getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName));
You are welcome to use PackageManager
and resolveActivity()
to attempt to determine what activity (in what app) will handle a particular Intent
. However, this may indicate that the chooser will handle the request, because there is no current default (e.g., user just installed a new browser, and so the chooser will appear for the next Web browser request).
