Feature request: act on android.intent.action.VIEW

[xandro0777]

Hi, this app is a godsend.. but could it be made to catch android.intent.action.VIEW as well? Say in a telegram channel (telefeedbot) I want to view some URLs but have them intercepted by this app.

It generates

intent://www.topky.sk/cl/13/1748635/FOTO-Archeologovia-vo-vytrzeni--Pod-pyramidou-objavili-tunel--tajna-cesta-do-podsvetia#Intent;scheme=https;launchFlags=0x3000000;S.com.android.browser.app

MATCHING ACTIVITIES:
Chrome (com.android.chrome - com.google.android.apps.chrome.IntentDispatcher)
Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox - org.mozilla.gecko.tabqueue.TabQueueDispatcher)
Privacy Browser (com.stoutner.privacybrowser.standard - com.stoutner.privacybrowser.activities.MainWebViewActivity)
Chrome (com.android.chrome - com.google.android.apps.chrome.VrIntentDispatcher)

Unfortunately the url forwarder app is not matched.. otherwise it would be ideal for my purpose.

If it triggered on android.intent.action.VIEW and a data URI that starts with http/https then every link you click on would trigger Android to ask what app you want to view the link with.

UrlForwarder would show as an alternative in that list together with chrome and other possible browser apps. Don't know if I really want that as it's currently meant for share only.

Might be better to create another app for this perhaps?

Don't think that would create any inconvenience - given its name this app should show as last in the list in most cases. As most people tend to have only few browsers that list won't be long anyway, certainly very short compared to the typical "share" list.

A simple app to catch action.VIEW and resend it as action.SEND to urlforwarder would be another possibility.

I think Url forwarder should appear in the list of android.intent.action.VIEW because there are apps that don't have the option to share the link just open directly

• It is possible to avoid opening the android.intent.action.VIEW menu that the Url forwarder has a built-in setting to choose the default browser to open in directly when Url forwarder is set as the default browser.
