Question

When I open the Android’s default browser I want to add a button or a menu entry when it’s clicked to open my Intent and pass me the current url parameter.

Is this possible in Android?

Answer 1

Only by means of the Share option, if the browser in question has one. The standard AOSP Browser app will have such a “Share” option in the action overflow. It triggers an ACTION_SEND Intent, with a MIME type of text/plain, so any activities claiming to support that in the manifest via an <intent-filter> will be able to respond:

        <intent-filter android:label="@string/app_name">
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>

            <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        </intent-filter>
