Not that I am aware of. You have no right to get rid of the browser, any more than the browser has the right to get rid of you. If you need that level of control, you'll probably need to use a WebView in your own activity rather than the browser. Or consolidate your app such that there is simply one Activity ABCD where you are handling your own back stack (e.g., using dynamic fragments), with an Intent triggered by the browser that includes FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT, so the existing ABCD instance is reused and you get the Intent in onNewIntent(). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 4.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
