Webview App as default browser

Question

Hey I have made a browser app for android, but now I need to give the user a change to set my browser as default.

EDIT: I have tried to use this code in my manifest but with nu luck

<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category> </intent-filter>

But with no luck

register your app as a listener to url sharing events like explained here: stackoverflow.com/questions/8624315/… — Rotem

Try to add following XML to your main activity to make your app a candidate for intent sent by other apps that look for loading a page into the browser with startActivity(new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW", Uri.parse("http://....")));

<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"></action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"></category> </intent-filter>
