Is there a way to open Chrome app on Android from default Android browser? I\'m able to open the app, but it doesn\'t redirect user to correct page. This is what I tried:

Answer 1

Here is a solution without a try catch, if chrome is installed, it will be used. Otherwise, it will go to the device default

void open(Activity activity, String url) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("googlechrome://navigate?url=" + url);
    Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
    if (i.resolveActivity(activity.getPackageManager()) == null) {
        i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
    }
    activity.startActivity(i);
}
