Before Android 7.0 I was able to retrieve the list of installed browser type applications and it's package name. Then, I upgrade to Android 7.0 and I am only able to retrieve Samsung's Internet browser, but not the other browser type applications such as Chrome .
Device Samsung Tab A
This is the code :
public static List<String> getListOfBrowser(Context context) {
List<String> browserPackageName = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
List<ResolveInfo> browserList = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo info : browserList) {
browserPackageName.add(info.activityInfo.packageName);
Log.e("BrowserList Info ",info.activityInfo.packageName+" total browser"+browserList.size());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("BrowserList Info ",e.getMessage());
}
return browserPackageName;
}
If Android API level >= 23, then you can do like so:
List<ResolveInfo> browserList;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.MARSHMALLOW) {
// gets all
browserList = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_ALL);
// only the defaults
browserList = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
} else {
browserList = pm.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
}
