Android custom tab (Custom Tabs) framework in the Java class library
Android custom tab (Custom Tabs) framework in the Java library
Custom Tabs is a way to open a web page on Android, which can provide a smoother and consistent user experience.This article will introduce how to use the Android custom tab framework in the Java library and provide related programming code and configuration.
Step 1: Add dependency relationship
First, you need to add the dependence of the custom tab frame framework to your project.Add the following code in the dependenncies part of your Build.gradle file: add the following code:
implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.3.0'
Step 2: Create a custom tab service class
Next, create a service class for managing custom tabs.Create a class called CustomtabsManager in your project and make sure it inherits from the CustomTabsServiceConnection.The following is a simple example:
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.customtabs.CustomTabsClient;
import android.support.customtabs.CustomTabsServiceConnection;
import android.support.customtabs.CustomTabsSession;
public class CustomTabsManager extends CustomTabsServiceConnection {
private CustomTabsClient customTabsClient;
private CustomTabsSession customTabsSession;
public void connectToCustomTabsService(Context context, String packageName) {
if (customTabsClient != null) {
return;
}
CustomTabsClient.bindCustomTabsService(context, packageName, this);
}
@Override
public void onCustomTabsServiceConnected(ComponentName componentName, CustomTabsClient customTabsClient) {
this.customTabsClient = customTabsClient;
this.customTabsClient.warmup(0L);
this.customTabsSession = this.customTabsClient.newSession(null);
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
customTabsClient = null;
}
public void openCustomTab(Context context, Uri uri) {
if (customTabsClient == null) {
return;
}
customTabsSession.launchUrl(context, uri);
}
}
Step 3: Initialize custom tab service
In your Activity or Fragment, create a CustomTabsmanager object and initialize it in the onCreate () method.The following is an example:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private CustomTabsManager customTabsManager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
customTabsManager = new CustomTabsManager();
customTabsManager.connectToCustomTabsService(this, "com.android.chrome");
}
// Call this method when you need to open the webpage
private void openCustomTab(Uri uri) {
customTabsManager.openCustomTab(this, uri);
}
}
Step 4: Open the custom tab page
Now, you can call the OpenCustomtab () method where any need to open the webpage and pass the URL you want to open as a parameter.The CustomTabsManager class will automatically open the webpage in Chrome or other supported browsers.The following is an example:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://www.example.com");
openCustomTab(uri);
By following the above steps, you can successfully use the Android custom tab framework in your Java class library.Please note that you need to install appropriate browser applications on the device, such as Chrome, so that the custom tab page works normally.
I hope this article can help you understand how to use Android custom tab frameworks and smoothly integrate into your application.If you have any questions, ask at any time.
