can we get chrome browsing history/bookmarks like we get in default browser using READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS permission? PS:I Just want to know is it possible?
Yes it is very much possible.
Use this uri: content://com.android.chrome.browser/bookmarks
instead of Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI
String[] proj = new String[] { Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE,Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL };
Uri uriCustom = Uri.parse("content://com.android.chrome.browser/bookmarks");
String sel = Browser.BookmarkColumns.BOOKMARK + " = 0"; // 0 = history, 1 = bookmark
Cursor mCur = getContentResolver().query(uriCustom, proj, sel, null, null);
mCur.moveToFirst();
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
String title = "";
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
String url = "";
if (mCur.moveToFirst() && mCur.getCount() > 0) {
boolean cont = true;
while (mCur.isAfterLast() == false && cont) {
title = mCur.getString(mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE));
url = mCur.getString(mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL));
// Do something with title and url
mCur.moveToNext();
}
}
Havent tested the code for errors but it should work fine. The important thing is knowing the uri to use. Reading this and this might help.
