My school WiFi requires that you visit the website and login before you can have internet access. The problem is that the website doesnt always pop up automatically when I open my browser. I have saved the website to my bookmarks in the past, but even then It won't let me go to it manually (because there is no internet web browser access)
Is there a way to force access of the login page on these types of connections?
You could set up a shortcut to the log in page and make the shortcut what you use to open your web browser on campus.
I've never made a shortcut for a website on Android so I'm not sure if all browsers will support it. But I'm certain there is a way.
What you'd end up with is the log in screen ALWAYS being the landing page when you started the web browser using that shortcut.

I used to do that, the only problem is that sometimes it doesn't work. Sometimes I would go to that page and it wouldn't load because my device doesn't have access to the internet -___-
I need another option, like if there's an app or a way that forces the login page, not just tries to access the URL of said login. You know? It sucks I know -___- lol
Since shortcuts for web pages made on PC cannot be used to launch the browser on Android and open those web page links, is there an app which would allow you to browse files on your Android and then directly open url web page link shortcuts?
I use Opera on my PC, and Opera Mobile on the phone and have linked both using Opera Link. It syncs my history, bookmarks and passwords etc. between both devices. So if I want to open a url i found on pc, I bookmark it and its there on my phone too...
I see what you're saying - on a Windows PC internet shortcuts have a .url extension and when you click on them it opens whatever url is in that shortcut.
I don't think there is an equivalent on Android. I use bettercut which allows me to put shortcuts to browser bookmarks on a home screen or folder - I click on the shortcut and it opens that web page in browser. The website must be bookmarked in your browser however.
I tried putting URLs in a text file - clicking on the text file opens notepad and you click on the url which then opens the website. There's no direct way of clicking on an internet shortcut in a folder on Android though without using the afore mentioned methods. Maybe someone will code an app.
Yeah, if someone ever reads this in the future, pleas post if you came across anything that would allow us to browse through folders and click on url shortcuts created on PC and have them open a web page in any browser.
This has nothing to do with synchronization or previously used links.
This is about random never before seen url shortcuts that you come across inside folders which were originally created on PC and you simply want to open the web page shortcuts inside those folders *directly*.

Check this out, guys: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zapek.android.stuntzurl
Good luck!
u might use chrome to phone if youre using chrome on youre pc
if u are on android 4 download chrome browser from the market it owns a very simple sincronizing function
Although you are a correct, that was not the original question.
Thank you handfish for the link! stuntzurl application allows you to open URL links in a folder on your Android phone with a simple click.
oooh stuntzurl does not work after updating to Android 4.4 KitKat.
If anyone comes across an app that does, please post!
"Toggelis Url Opener" does what you want and it works with Android K, L, M and N.
Basically I'm trying figure out if it's illegal to display a website that I don't own in a webview in app, without getting it shut down? Say for instance, you were trying to be social and allow users to see your twitter or facebook page within the app. Will google snatch it down
Hi. When I make payments on computer browsers, I can see exactly what URL an app has redirected me to. This helps me ensure that I have not landed on some phishing site. But when I make payments using Android apps, I can't see URL of the landing sites because they don't open in browsers; rather the apps use their own GUI to show everything. Here I can't be sure with whom am I sharing my bank details etc.
So is there a way in which Android addresses this issue or how can I check where my apps are exactly taking me to (URL) for payments etc?
Yes!
You may check the xml files of the app and find the link with the help of an app called XML VIEWER AND EDITOR.

I've now got my app (Painting Courses) developed Ok. I've registered with GooglePlayStore as a developer and 'uploaded' the aab of my app (as it would not accept an apk) after completing all (at least I hope so) the questions. However, even though it's now active according to the attached screenshot, it doesn't show on my phone or on the Google Play web site (both by search on the name). My app is shown in this link in the web site:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.myddns.rose.paintingcourses
What do I need to do in order for the search to fins my app (on my phone & on the Google Play web site)?
