Re: [android-developers] is Google going to ship Chrome as a default browser for next OS release
Let's return to the main topic. According to my knowledge, because chrome for android is not open-source, so it will not ship to AOSP. However, chromium for android may replace the current browser. I guess the api will keep the same, but the back engine will be replaced by chormium. 2013/2/3 Kristopher Micinski > I'm not saying it won't work --- in my experience it hasn't --- but > since it's in that package it's off limits.

Re: [android-developers] is Google going to ship Chrome as a default browser for next OS release
I'm not saying it won't work --- in my experience it hasn't --- but since it's in that package it's off limits. Reading bookmarks from the default browser seems bad anyway: what if the user installs another one. (I do have some background with this, attempting to develop an app that takes your browser history and learns trends, recommending new things to you. I hit the same limitations and went another way.)

Re: [android-developers] is Google going to ship Chrome as a default browser for next OS release
Ah, I meant simply that you shouldn't be hardcoding a string constant as the value for the bookmarks store as it can change (as you've just seen) You are mistaken, things in the com.android.* package are *not* part of the public API.

Re: [android-developers] is Google going to ship Chrome as a default browser for next OS release
Not sure what you mean by "not part of the public api" - these are the exact values of the BOOKMARKS_URI on this the Browser object documented here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Browser.html On 2.x devices it returns a uri for "browser" but from 3.x onwards, that was renamed to "com.android.browser" due to the differences in the provider's implementation and probably for a more consistent naming convention with the other providers for other types of data. But it's clearly a public api for accessing the stock browser's bookmarks.

You still shouldn't be using those, as they're obviously not part of the public API, but I'm guessing that that doesn't really phase you...

Re: [android-developers] is Google going to ship Chrome as a default browser for next OS release
This surprises me, are the user's bookmarks accessible in a public provider? I had been under the impression that this was removed (always throws a `SecurityException`) since 2.2. kris On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 8:42 AM, H wrote: > Probably unlikely to "replace" the Stock Browser in AOSP Android - Chrome is > dependant on the Google APIs, so if it replaced the browser then there > wouldn't be a browser on AOSP Android.

[android-developers] is Google going to ship Chrome as a default browser for next OS release
Probably unlikely to "replace" the Stock Browser in AOSP Android - Chrome is dependant on the Google APIs, so if it replaced the browser then there wouldn't be a browser on AOSP Android. But on Google licensed devices, there's no reason to not remove the Stock Browser. However Chrome doesn't provide a public bookmarks provider, so all those apps that rely on a provider to show the user's bookmarks in a widget (for example) would no longer work. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Question: does anyone seriously use the default browser anyways? There are (in my opinion, at least) several other much better browsers on the Market available for free. I can't decide whether my favorite is Dolphin or Opera---I use Opera on my Mac, but it's got so many glitches (latest version) that I keep find myself wishing Dolphin browser was available for the Mac But again, just my opinion. The point is, if people don't like or want the default browser, why should they care what it is? They can just grab another one that they do like.

Re: [android-developers] is Google going to ship Chrome as a default browser for next OS release
I am kind of agree with you on this; if there is a enforcement from google to ship with chrome only then it would be the same browser war on PC. I have down load the ROM for CyanogenMod for Jelly Bean 4.2; It does not have Chrome; it does have a stock browser.
