Hello,

With the Chrome browser for Android there is the option of placing a shortcut on the home screen. When activated, this opens a specific website in full screen mode.



Can I also control this via a MacroDroid action?





Via an intent, I can e.g. B. Open a website in Chrome.

But not in full screen mode.





The cut part:
com.google.android.apps.chrome.IntentDispatcher

Thank you!

I have MacroDroid as shortcut to fullscreen browser (web app).

This is what appeared inside logcat when I launched web app. (I am using Bromite, not Chrome)

START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=webapp://981def7d-7a42-4ee2-ab8d-49e5f70aa560 flg=0x14080000 cmp=org.bromite.bromite/org.chromium.chrome.browser.webapps.WebappActivity (has extras)} from uid 10153

I tryed launching same Intent with MacroDroid, but it failed.

Propably the class org.chromium.chrome.browser.webapps.WebappActivity wasn't right.

On second try I got permission denial. I think shortcuts to web apps can only launch apps that created that activity. Some activites are hidden in android apps and only some can be launched by external apps.

What do you mean by "full screen mode"? To me, the 'Intent' below works well (same as yours but without class specification).

I would be willing to use another browser as well.

It is only important to me that the address line disappears and the navigation (Back, Home, Recent Applications) is available.

I wouldn't care about the rest.

@FrameXX do you have something suitable for me?
