Android Question Open Chrome to URL via Service

[sweddle]

Hello,

I am about to write a app that will run as a service and I will need to it to open Chrome to a URL...

Can a Service do that??? (My thoughts are this may be seen by Android as some sort of virus and they don't allow that but I don't know.. thus I ask)

Thanks for any help on this

You can do it using an intent, like this:

Private Browser As Intent

Browser.Initialize(Browser.ACTION_VIEW, "https://www.b4x.com")

Browser.SetComponent("com.android.chrome/com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main")

StartActivity(Browser)

Of course, you will have to verify Chrome is installed on the device.
