Open and close browser tab in android browser via intent?

Question

I know I can open a URL in a new tab in a browser from an android app using an intent.

But is there a good way to also close such a tab that my app has opened before?

Answer 1

No, sorry. There is no standard Intent structure for this. While it is possible that some browsers offer something, I am not aware of any that do.

Bear in mind that there is no requirement that your ACTION_VIEW Intent open up a browser tab, as the user's chosen browser may not offer any sort of tab UI metaphor.
