Is it possible to programmatically open a web url in the main Chrome browser (not the Android "sandboxed" one) on a ChromeOS device, from an Android app (sending an intent or whatsoever)?

  • I'd think (hope) that if you were to use a WebView (from within a native Android app), and installed and ran it on ChromeOS, that you would GET the main Chrome browser. (I think that there at least two different ways to invoke a URL from Android app...i.e. either using WebView or not?) Please clarify: are you saying you've already tried creating some Android app, and that it did NOT launch the main browser? Or, are you just 'worried' that it won't? – David May 20 '19 at 13:17
  • @Dave the Android WebVIew is also a sort of Chrome but not running in ChromeOS. In my question I deal with opening an url in external browser, and I also hope that main Chrome OS browser is open instead of the "Android Chrome", I do not own a Chromebook yet but I have to make some design decisions. – P5music May 21 '19 at 13:49
  • Did you find the solution that works? – iz25 Feb 13 '20 at 09:49
