I'll go first
I've been making an app using aide
It has several activities all with a different layout
Before this morning they all displayed right but the first build I ran this morning the layout would just default back to my main and I can't find any errors in my code
Then just a few minutes ago I was working on an activity that plays an audio stream I ran the app and now that activity doesn't display the proper layout either
I ran a logcat but I still can't find anything
Anyone else have this problem
I'm using the free version with around twenty files could that be the reason

Source code and layout XML
The link in the live activity is to a server that is currently off but was on last night and working
I also imported this into eclipse and it still didn't work right I have no idea what to do
Sent from my Samsung Infuse running PA Jelly Bean using the xda-developers app
I finally figured it out
In my main activity I had my setContentView under onResume and for some reason it would force all other activities to us its layout
I moved it to onCreate and its working like a charm

KitKat out a while, still NO browser with "immersive mode"

It seems kind of strange to me that coincidentally not a single browser developer has released an updated version of their android browsers with immersive mode feature.
It's almost a given that browsing is one of the most used and important aspects of smartphones and this simple feature actually gives your device a free screen upgrade.
I am very puzzled with this and would be skeptical if all of a sudden all the major browser players released this at the same time.
Thoughts?
I too found it strange. I would of expected at least that Google Chrome would of been updated with this feature but not even the beta has it unless I've missed some setting.

What is Peregrine Browser?
Peregrine Browser is one of the most lightweight webbrowsers available.
Download sizes are:
Smaller than 200kb on Android 4.4 KitKat.
Smaller than 100kb on Android 5.0 Lollipop and higher.
I focus the development of this browser on it's size, speed, security and it's night mode.

FAQ
Q: On which Android versions does this work?
A: Android 4.4 KitKat and Android 5 Lollipop and higher. You'll also need WebView (Android 5 & 6) or Google Chrome (Android 7+) to run on the latest version (older versions probably work, but are not supported).
Q: Peregrine Browser says it runs on Chrome 42. When will you upgrade to Chrome x?
A: Peregrine Browser uses the WebView component from the system.
It is recomended that you use the WebView from Google (Android 5+), because it will be updated to the latest version.
On Android 7+, Google Chrome could also be used as WebView component.
Therefore, Google needs to update that and not me.
Q: A website I want to visit won't open.
A: We block some websites because of their content (for example, sites that could contain malware). Try disabling AdBlock or Safe Browsing.

Thank you for the bug report.
It would be nice if you can upload the logs tomorrow (or at any time).
I tried to fix this bug, but since this bug hasn't appeared for me I don't know if my fix worked, however it will be included in the next update.
Here, log is attached.

Thank you for the log.
I rolled out a new update (version 0.9.0_r14) to the alpha and beta channels in XDA Labs and the Version Control app in the browser.
This should fix the FC.

Alright, will test tomorrow. (And edit this post if works)
Edit: version control doesn't work. Will try updating through xda labs.
Edit2: also doesn't work it identify my browser version as same with version on xda labs. Ill uninstall and reinstall. But I think problem here may be you only change revision tags, so xda labs doesn't recognize.
Okay, bug fixed. I have not found any other bugs thus far, great job! Maybe chipset specific versions? Just a suggestion...
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Labs
For some reason Labs won't update Browse, even after I changed the revision tags.
I will display a pop-up on the homescreen when there is an update available, with an instruction how to install it (in future versions it will install automatically).
I've tested chipset specific versions, however the size of the app is the same as the universal one (for all architectures) and the performance as well.

Peregrine Browser: version 2
As you might have noticed, Browse changed it's name to Peregrine Browser. I didn't like Browse as name. Several people told me that the browser is fast, so I changed the name to Peregrine Browser, from the Peregrine Falcon. The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal on the planet.
The name is not the only thing that has changed: the icon and look are also updated.
Version 2 also comes with some new features and bug fixes:
- New permission handling. When websites want access to your location, camera or microphone, you can chose to allow or deny access (Like the permission handling on Android 6 Marshmallow and higher).
- Added App Shortcuts.
- Fixed Arabic language not showing correctly in bookmarks and history.
- Several other improvements.
I'll work on future versions on these features:
- Adding custom websites to Quick access.
- More translations.
And more.
Notice:
In this build are camera and microphone permissions added. This is so websites could use your camera or microphone, the browser itself does not collect any data with those permissions. On Marshmallow and later, those permissions are only requested when you open a website which wants access to those permissions and you click "allow".
Hey, for a couple of months I've using your little browser as my main.
I have encountered some problems recently tho:
When opening a link from any other app, the browser adds out of nowhere a "http//" (without the : ) to the URL, failing to parse it.
And, since the renaming to Peregrine and adding the night mode, I never have it working properly. I setup it to work between 00.00 and 7.00 am, but then I apply the changes and the main page turns in the night mode in the midst of the day. Am I missing something?
Thank you a lot. By far is the most light and fast browser I've ever tried.

The bug with http// has been fixed internally. If you remove the http://http// part it should load. The browser tries to load a https:// page instead of a http:// one, but apparently there was a bug when loading links from other apps.
I've had issues with night mode aswell, however I haven't found the cause of that problem yet.
I'm also trying to prevent further issues with Google after they blocked an update to the Play Store after violating YouTube's Terms of Service. I don't know what actually was wrong, another update a few days later was allowed.
