Android Question b4a - how to make sure Google chrome is there?

[IamTrying]

How can i tell, only use WebRTC compatible browser, if do not exist i want to inform install first and then continue?
(when Google chrome is not installed in my Samsung its using some ugly Samsung browser which do not have WebRTC)

Intent1 = pm.GetApplicationIntent("???what is WebRTC compatible browser ID's???");
if Intent1.IsInitialized Then
Else 
End if

You should query if the PACKAGE name for Chrome is installed and prompt for installation if it's not.

There's code posted on the forums showing how it's done.

OK

Second problem. When there is Google chrome installed.
And i execute a site on that browser from B4A app.

How do i hide the ADDRESS BAR in browser , so that the URL is not shown?
(so that it looks like full screen kiosk mode like B4A apps?)

Third problem.

- When B4A app open an URL
- Android ask user which browser you want to use to open it?
- User choose ugly (no WebRTC) browser. And my application fails

How to tell B4A only use WebRTC browser? (no user choice, my expected end users are dumb)

If you want Chrome to open the site, then after checking for it, open the website using Chrome, you can do that by setting the component, no choice will be shown to the user.

Like I mentioned before, search for the code examples.

    Dim i As Intent
    i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "http://google.com")
    i.SetComponent("com.android.chrome")
    StartActivity(I)

That helps:

Dim i AsIntent
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "https://www.bank-government.com/very-private-very-very-very-private-cant-show-the-url")
i.SetComponent("com.android.chrome")
StartActivity(I)

the only issue right now i have is that when my app is opening the URL, its visible to the end user (which suppose to be hidden).
