Android Question Access to Chrome bookmarks and history

[ddahan]

I'm looking for a way to get access to Chrome bookmarks and surf history (Locally or through Google account).
I'll appreciate your help.

You might be able to get them using the ContentResolver library (content://com.android.chrome.browser/bookmarks)

The code posted here will return the history: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/url-history-log.28415/

Hi ,
Erel - Your suggested code is returning a few not changing url's. seems not to be a history.

NJDude - I'm using this code:

    Dim ContentResolverObject As ContentResolver
    Dim UriObject As Uri
    UriObject.Parse("content://com.android.chrome.browser/bookmarks")
    ContentResolverObject.Initialize("ContentResolverObject")
    Dim CursorObject As Cursor = ContentResolverObject.Query(UriObject, Null, "", Null, "")
   
    Dim BMCounter As Int 
    BMCounter = 0
   
    If CursorObject.IsInitialized Then
        Dim CursorObjectSize As Int
        CursorObjectSize = CursorObject.RowCount
    Log(" --------------- Bookmarks Sync ----------------")
        For r = 0 To CursorObjectSize - 1
            CursorObject.Position = r
            Try
                Dim URL As String
                URL = CursorObject.GetString2(1)
                Dim Title As String
                Title = CursorObject.GetString2(5)
                Log("Row: " & r & " URL: "  & URL & " , Title: " & Title)
                Log("Bookmark: " & BMCounter  & " / " & CursorObjectSize)
            Catch
            Log(" ----------- Bookmark failed !!! ----------")
            End Try
        Next
      CursorObject.Close
    End If

it seem that it returns a mix of bookmarks and history url's.

I'll appreciate your advice.

thanks,
David.
