Chrome Custom Tabs I Guide

[Tekwizer (ArnaV Bhardwaj)]

Creating this guide on request of @Ekansh_Pandit
Thanks @Vaibhav for telling me how to enable experimental components in the creator.
Let me get this straight in an easier way Chrome custom tabs is “like” activity starter but a lot more easier. Lets GO !

How to open an app ?

Hey to get the package name of any app install this app -

play.google.com

Package Name Viewer 2.0

This app show you package name and launcher class of all apps in your device. Features: 1. Application searching; 2. Support multi-copy package names 3. Entering app setting directly; 4. Package name and launcher class showing and copying; 5. Enjoying MATERIAL DESIGN style. Thanks for your attention...

Free

or

Open play.google.com
Open the app page and look at the URL. The package name forms the end part of the URL i.e. after the id=? . Copy it and use it.

In my case “com.kanishka_developer.SketchPad”

Open Custom Tab -

As far as I know chrome custom tabs doesn’t ask for which browser do you have to open the site it automatically opens the site in your default browser so… that is a con of Custom Tabs

Make sure your url has http or https .

Open any website –

Again make sure your url has http or https .

Notes -

If @Kanishka_Developer has any problem with me using his app in the example please tell me I will remove it.
