Question

I’m able to get default history on Android 2.2 with the following cursor where CONTENT_URI point to Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI

cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(CONTENT_URI,
Browser.HISTORY_PROJECTION, null, null, null);

if (cursor.moveToLast()) 
        String url = cursor.getString(Browser.HISTORY_PROJECTION_URL_INDEX);

But it didn’t work on android ICS i’m getting a wrong url and it’s always the same : 1970-01-01 00:00:00 http://www.samsung.com/m-manual/common

PS: to get the date i use cursor.getLong(Browser.HISTORY_PROJECTION_DATE_INDEX)

Answer 1

Have you tried also getAllBookmarks()?

Cursor cursor = Browser.getAllBookmarks(getContentResolver());
if (cursor != null) {
    try {
        while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
            String url = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL));
        }
    } finally {
        cursor.close();
    }
}

EDIT:

String sortOrder = Browser.BookmarkColumns.DATE + " ASC";
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(CONTENT_URI, Browser.HISTORY_PROJECTION, null, null, sortOrder);
if (cursor != null) {
    try {
        if (cursor.moveToLast()) {
            String url = cursor.getString(Browser.HISTORY_PROJECTION_URL_INDEX);
            long date = cursor.getLong(Browser.HISTORY_PROJECTION_DATE_INDEX);
        }
    } finally {
        cursor.close();
    }
}

Actually why the http://www.samsung.com/m-manual/common url is wrong? What url are you expecting? You have not specified any columns to sort by. By cursor.moveToLast() you are moving your cursor to the last item, not traversing the bookmarks.
