[APP] Choose Browser - Share a link from any app, and choose a browser to open it in

hello xda. here's a new app i whipped up this afternoon. sometimes i'll be viewing a web page in a browser, and i decide i want to open it in a different browser. maybe the page looks funny in this browser, or it has video in it, and i want to use skyfire to watch it. how do you open a page you're already viewing in another browser? well, you could copy and paste the url, but that's more work than it should be.
now you can use Choose Browser. if you "share" a page or link from any app, you can select Choose Browser, then you will be presented with a list of installed browsers. see the screenshot. you can share a link from one browser to another. you can share a link from, say, your RSS reader, and choose which browser to open it in. you get the idea. it's nothing fancy, but it saves you a few steps.
the app should work on any version of android. it's free, with no ads. please test it and post feedback.

Great idea, works fine for me.

Choose Browser is now available in the Android Market!

App association on jb 4+ roms?

Is there any way to fix app association on custom jb roms? Things like opening a file sometimes opening in browser instead of editor or YouTube links opening in browser instead of app.

wouldnt the "clear defaults" function in app manager help?
You go to app manager, choose the default programs that open the chosen links etc and press "clear defaults"

After months I finally found a work around for the HTC app association that is a result of the Apple lawsuit.
As you know HTClinkify caused YouTube Links on FB and the web to open in a browser instead of the app.
I downloaded Android Browser from Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
Then went settings>app associations>internet changed it to new Android browser. Also make sure YouTube links are set to YouTube app.
Now when on FB and click a YouTube link it goes to the app. Same thing when I search a YouTube video on Google.
I'm on stock JB 4.1.1 rooted. Let me know if this works for anyone else.

[DISCUSSION] YOUTUBE'S upcoming new feature

i don't know if it is right to open a new thread so i did it to have a general discussion about youtube and its new upcoming feature
if any mod thinks that this thread should be closed then there is no problem by me
here is an article of what i am talking about
http://youtubecreator.blogspot.sg/2013/09/heads-up-about-upcoming-youtube-mobile.html?m=1

Is this source official? After reading it, I can only think of it as forcing you to download content. YouTube is probably safe, but pushing content to your device without you asking that seems quite absurd. I believe there will be a mechanism to allow this (only to subscribed channels or even a dedicated switch for that).
Seems like a nice feature, but with today's network speeds it's not that much of a problem.
BTW, before adding features, they should fix the UI on both mobile and PC, moving the quality setting to a submenu is a crime (especially when it's on 360p by default when you can play 1080p without any problem).

actually i doubt if that feature will be acting without user's permission but we will see it soon enough

Doubt they will do this. Google is try to get rid of YouTube downloading apps and plug-ins, so why would they purposely force you to download videos?

i believe it is just a feature
generally everything is happening for a reason not incidentally

When you watch a video you download it to your computer. After watching it, it is deleted. Everything you see on the web is downloaded to your computer (even this comment). What they might do is to make the videos available for you by pre-caching it, so you can watch them offline. And for the anti-download policy - I believe google will encrypt it somehow. There is more than one way to do this.

It sounds like a list you add videos to which will download all to your phone. Then the downloaded videos will be available while offline. Sounds like a Watch Later feature to me

Something like that, with te difference that you add channels to your list instead of videos, and when new videos are available, they get downloaded to your phone automatically for you to watch them, and afterwards (my guess is a couple of hours or the first watch) they are deleted.
I guess it's more like getting the newspaper to your doorstep each morning.

Thread reopened, moved to General

thanks a lot

what do you mean?

I didn't really get what the feature does exactly. Does it allow to push content to my phone without my permission?
Or can I manually choose which videos to download. That would be a really awesome feature and eliminate the need for apps like PVSTAR.

[Q] How do I tell Touchwiz to always ask what to do with YouTube Links?

Sometimes I like to view them on my device with the YouTube app, sometimes I like to send them to Kodi. When it asks what to do with the link, whatever I select magically becomes the default option until I reset the preferences. Any ideas?

I feel your pain. my old phone would ask me which app I wanted to use for a particular function and if I wanted to set it as a default app. if I didn't set it, it would ask every time, but with the S7 it asks once and automatically sets whatever you chose as default. not cool.

I'm using an app in the Play store called Better Open With. Works perfect so far.

Any plan to add option to disable javascript? Love the simple UI and built-in download accelerator, but I won't use any web browser without capability to disable javascript.

Nice. I see that you have whitelist for adblocker. Would be nice if you have whitelist for javascript blocker too.
Anyway, I just tried download manager, but downloaded file named filename.ext.null instead of filename.ext

It's optimized for audio/video mime types, but I will double check this one. Currently you can go to the download folder and rename the file, sorry for the inconvenience.

Well you cannot have an app on Playstore that 1-Play Youtube on background, 2- Download youtube.
This app is no exception. Maybe you can try option "play with" if there's any of your downloader apps can open it.
