this feature is called Chrome Custom Tabs, check out some tutorial how to implement

for gradle:

implementation 'androidx.browser:browser:1.2.0'

code implementation:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("www.google.com");
new CustomTabsIntent.Builder().build().launchUrl(context, uri);

  • this only works if a user has chrome available on their device though, right ? – a_local_nobody May 31 '22 at 07:43
  • afaik yes, you can detect that with some `ActivityNotFoundException` implementation (in which dev may open e.g. own `Activity` with `WebView`). more info in [HERE](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43864029/android-chrome-custom-tabs-fallback) – snachmsm May 31 '22 at 09:49
