I'm getting the following issue when trying the browser based on the API of attach. Any tips on what this means? "no browser intent" sounds to me like something someone would know, with some android experience.

Edit: Stackoverflow suggests, that the "http://" is missing in the URL, but it's correctly provided.

Push @johanvos @johanvos Any tips about it? Is there an android app available, with the latest attach/substrate version available, where the browser component worked? My latest working version was using quite old versions and SNAPSHOT builds.

The Devoxx app uses the latest Attach BrowserService.

Code: https://github.com/devoxx/MyDevoxxGluon/tree/gluonfx

app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devoxx

Using the service from the app shows this log:

Ok, thank you for the info. Any other Ideas, in which directions the issue might be? I've updated Gradle and the gluon dependencies, from an old SNAPSHOT build. I've noticed that also the old font-awesome icons stopped working.

Any tips in which direction I can look?

There are some issues with the GraalVM 22.0.0.3-Final/JDK 17 version. For now it's better to use GraalVM 22.0.0.2-Final/JDK 11 from https://github.com/gluonhq/graal/releases/tag/gluon-22.0.0.2-Final.

As for the BrowserService, not sure where CreateCertificateSuccess comes from. Also note the message in your log There is no activity to handle the browser intent, that is printed from here:

if (browserIntent.resolveActivity(activity.getPackageManager()) == null) {
            Log.e(TAG, "There is no activity to handle the browser intent");
            return false;
        }

so something might be wrong with your application package.

I've been able to reinvestigate this issue, and now I'm sure it's not on my side! Sadly I don't know a way to solve the issue.

I've forked your hello-gluon-ci example and added the Attach Browser service to it. Even on that codebase, it doesn't work. You can download the APK in the latest github action run. (it's only red, because it couldn't upload it)

The last time, I guess I just worked around it, by not updating the App, which is now no longer an option.

I'm quite sure, it worked 1-2 years ago. Could you do me a favor and look into this again?

Some more notes:

• It happens both on Gradle and Maven builds
• It also happens on Graal with Java11
• It worked on an old build

Can you try with Attach 4.0.15-SNAPSHOT? This PR https://github.com/gluonhq/attach/pull/309 should fix your issue.

You'll need:

Nice, the HelloWorld seems to work. Let me quickly check the real application, then I will close the ticket.

Thank you very much for the super quick response!

[FlorianKirmaier]

The real application also works now without problems, thank you!
