I'm developing now for Android 2.0 and the Browser Bookmarks and
history are working again
(in the Emulator and on my Droid).
I'm using the following permissions:
<uses-permission
android:name="com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS" /
>
<uses-permission
android:name="com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS" /
>
To get the Browser bookmarks I used:
// Get all the bookmark url's using the direct call (gives URL
but no longer the title)
mCursor = Browser.getAllBookmarks(getContentResolver());
To get the History (all visited URLs):
// Use the standard Android call to get the visited URLs
(includes Bookmarks)
mCursor = Browser.getAllVisitedUrls(getContentResolver());
Note: the history includes the Bookmarks.
