[Q] Can this be done? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this is in the wrong selection I just need to know, can you build an app that can open up the browser within the app and stay there? There a app on the play store and all it does is opens up a new browser tab to a certain website.

Yes this can be done easily by Using Xposed Framework. U have to Download a Module named 'ActivityForceNewTask'.

Would it work like in this video http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/05/ki...t-in-browser-that-works-with-any-mobile-site/ ? that what I'm looking for, I had quite the heated discussion with some dev's at a trade event.

I dont like all the rights it needs ... looking into my private protocol files ? Why would they want to know what I installed when and how ?? >>
Dont they already know it i think it's more a thing to look in log files when it crashes. and somethimes there can be sensitive information in the logs. But the app is from google so i believe we can trust it (a little)
Yeah lol if they wanted to be malicious or annoying they already have that info since the Marketplace is theirs anyways. They don't need to do it through an app lol.

Sort results in market/play store?

Hi! Is there any way to sort search results on the Google market e.g. after downloads or views or rating? Thanks.
Ad
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
Not currently possible in the app, but it should be possible on the website.
Yeah on the website it works but whyyyy is Google not integrating it in the app.
Isn't there the possibility to integrate this function in a mod somehow?
Thx
Sent from my NexusHD2 using xda app-developers app
Even on the website, the only options are by Popularity and by Relevance.
I wish i could sort by Rating, by Developer, alphabetically...
google seems to make it on purpose not to let you sort the results... MADAFAKAZ!! :x

It can barely find information about anyone asking about sorting results from play store. xda developers must be only ones who think outside the box.
How we can make it sort every search results as i want.
Like downloads, stars e.t.c.?
Sorting seems to have been removed from the website as well. Damn it Google, why must you turn everything to ****.
I've just had to reinstall after a full reset, and this has to be one of the worst aspects of the play store. I wish I understood programming, but is there anyone can make an app to fix this lack of sortability and lack of filtering?
I'm with @Newtoys, why does google always go one step to far and mess up perfectly good things?
Agreed: Google makes it Harder, not Easier!
Searching for a small business collaboration app
Only returns results with app that have the word "collaboration" in the title?
If I was a developer, I would be reluctant to ever get involved,
how are potential customers supposed to find your App if you don't give it a name that sound too much alike all the other apps in the same category.
And Furthermore: I don't care about the icon, I want to be able to scan an encapsulation of the capacity of the app... Who cares what color the button is going to be on my screen !!!
If Google is the "Ultimate Search Engine" why then can't I use a Google search to go through the Play Store Apps..?
NO !!! Instead it returns a listing of Other Web Sites and the Apps that they recommend ?
I am with you guys on this. Been wondering this for years now. I also found it weird that when I try and Google search this issue, this thread is the only one relevant to our problem. I'd be willing DL a modified play store app even. The worst is when I want to see about any new/updated apex themes and I have to browse a library of themes I've seen before.

lol, exact same f##@ up when im going thru Layers themes !! Usually we need the latest updated themes since they work as expected with updated AOSP Roms...but stupid google wont let me sort a list of apps by the 'last updated' date !!
Any 3rd party apps that browse the entire play store app catalogue and have the ability to sort them by their last updated date ?
same here... i want to sort apps by it size since the day start using play store but never see such feature or any proper useful sorting method in play store.. and when google for sprting apps, i end up right here... hope some1 has the solution for this... seriously...

[Q] Force Chrome to always open a new tab

Hello, xda noob here. I hope this is the appropriate forum to be posting in...
I've scoured the internets looking for an answer and haven't been able to find one. I want to know if there's a way to force Chrome to always open up a new browser tab when opening a link from an app. For example: I frequently use the reader app, and when I click on a link to open in Chrome, it opens it in the same tab as the one for the last link that I clicked. Furthermore, the browsing history isn't saved so I can use the back button to view what I have opened before.
Is there a way to force Chrome to always open up a new tab when I click on a link? Thanks in advance.
(BTW, I'm on a rooted Nexus 4,but I'm not sure that's relevant)
Not sure about the opening tab part (sorry lol) but I do know that if you type in chrome://history it gives you your history

If anyone is interested adfree can also be downloaded directly from the developer's website - adfree.bigtincan.com/adfree.apk. Unfortunately as I'm a new poster I cannot post the above as a URL.
Can i with this app ignore browsers ? I want ad free without browsers, it's possible ? If yes, how to ?
thank you very much...

question. I installed this yesterday, everything is great, up until i tried playing anime videos from my dolphin browser and i cant play those videos anymore, tried to uninstall this app and even the browser and still cant play videos, the site will not play the video if there is an adblocker. What do you think can fix this?

If I understand your situation correctly, you:
Installed AdFree
Used AdFree to apply the custom hosts list
Had problems with playing videos from one (or more) web sites
Removed AdFree
Continue to have the same problems with playing videos
If this is roughly the sequence of events, then you should not need to un-install AdFree.
In fact, uninstalling AdFree probably left your hosts file in its modified state (with ad-related sites still blocked).
Instead, you can click on the Revert button in AdFree. This will return your hosts file to its original condition. This also ought to restore joy to whatever web sites are finding AdFree disagreeable.
This should allow you do run ad-free most of the time (click Download & Install Hosts), and disable ads just long enough to view the videos you wish (click Revert).
Hi all. I see this thread has been quite for quite some time. I am hoping someone can help. I have been a user of AdFree for a while. I noticed that one website I frequent is impacted in that I can no longer see the comments section of that particular website. I added the domain in question to the "white list" but that hasn't helped. Can anyone who understands this sort of thing help? I love the functionality it provides, but not being able to comment on my favorite site is an issue. Anyone? Thanks!!
@ShermCraig The workaround I use in these rare cases is to open AdFree, and tap the "Revert" button. Then I can do all the usual stuff on the offending web site (or app). After I'm done, I once again open AdFree and tap "Download & Install Hosts" to regain ad-protection.
Yes, it's ugly, but it is actually pretty quick, but I did promise only a workaround, not a solution.
Question: What do you mean when you say "added the domain in question to the 'white list'"? I don't see that AdFree supports any kind of whitelisting.

I've actually done this and yes it does work temporarily. Unfortunately (for me) I visit the site so frequently that it becomes too much. Trying something else.
In answer to your question: http://adfree.bigtincan.com/ - log in, and there is an exception list.
thanks

TAB S7 + Whatsapp

Hi everyone. I search and I tried changing Chrome to desktop view to be able to use whatsapp in Tab S7. It worked, but I don't know why, only one time.
Now, with o without changing to desktop view, web.whatsapp.com returns de same landing page, not the one with the QR.
Seems that some update broke this? Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!!
Use Whatsapp web to go app on Fdroid it shows the QR code page.

Excelent tutorial!!! Wasn't so easy I see. But fortunately the problem dessapeared.
Seems like first time i did it with a cell phone (my wife's), that after that time never was again near the tablet, until today. Magically the page return again opened in the whatsapp chats, my wife's chats. So I was able to close the session from that page. Now i get the not useful landing page from whatsapp, but again when I switch to desktop view in Chrome, the page with the QR is back!!!
I think this could help another just like Vangry2020 helped me!!
Thanks!
