Constants
public static final String EXTRA_APPLICATION_ID
The name of the extra data when starting the Browser from another
application.
The value is a unique identification string that will be used to
identify the calling application. The Browser will attempt to reuse the
same window each time the application launches the Browser with the same
identifier.
Constant Value:
"com.android.browser.application_id"
public static final String EXTRA_CREATE_NEW_TAB
Boolean extra passed along with an Intent to a browser, specifying that
a new tab be created. Overrides EXTRA_APPLICATION_ID; if both are set,
a new tab will be used, rather than using the same one.
Constant Value:
"create_new_tab"
public static final String EXTRA_HEADERS
The name of the extra data in the VIEW intent. The data are key/value
pairs in the format of Bundle. They will be sent in the HTTP request
headers for the provided url. The keys can't be the standard HTTP headers
as they are set by the WebView. The url's schema must be http(s).
Constant Value:
"com.android.browser.headers"
INITIAL_ZOOM_LEVEL
public static final String INITIAL_ZOOM_LEVEL
The name of extra data when starting Browser with ACTION_VIEW or
ACTION_SEARCH intent.
The value should be an integer between 0 and 1000. If not set or set to
0, the Browser will use default. If set to 100, the Browser will start
with 100%.
Constant Value:
"browser.initialZoomLevel"
