I'm trying to get access to the current URL on the chrome browser. I want
my service to perform a task when it recognizes the user is on a specific
web page.
I've been able to retrieve the name of current application ("Chrome") using
a combination of the android.permission.GET_TASKS permission and this code.
However, this just gives me the name of the application, and not the URL.
ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager)
getSystemService(Activity.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
String packageName =
am.getRunningTasks(1).get(0).topActivity.getPackageName();
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
try {
CharSequence c = pm.getApplicationLabel(pm.getApplicationInfo(packageName,
PackageManager.GET_META_DATA));
currentAppName = c.toString();
}
catch (Exception e) {}
Is there a way to retrieve the URL for the current webpage in Chrome in
another fashion?
I don't see that ContentProvider for browser provides anything with respect
to the current URL. Would the last item in the history
*(getAllVisitedUrls(...))
*tell me this?
Or, is there another way to query this information from the browser
directly?
I don't need to do this in a sneaky way, I want the user to be fully aware
that I am asking for this information.
Thanks,
Chris
