Question

How to add \'Copy link\' option to Chrome Custom Tabs options menu in Android. Adding custom menu items in CustomTabs is like this.

CustomTabsIntent.Builder         


        

Answer 1

Create a BroadcastReceiver:

public class CustomTabsBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String url = intent.getDataString();

        Toast.makeText(context, "Copy link pressed. URL = " + url, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        //Here you can copy the URL to the clipboard
    }
}

Register it in the AndroidManifest.xml:

<receiver
    android:name=".CustomTabsBroadcastReceiver"
    android:enabled="true">
</receiver>

Use this method to launch the Custom Tab:

private void launchCustomTab() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, CustomTabsBroadcastReceiver.class);

    String label = "Copy link";
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    CustomTabsIntent customTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder()
            .addMenuItem(label, pendingIntent)
            .build();

    customTabsIntent.launchUrl(this, Uri.parse("http://www.google.it"));
}
