@abyordon when you said you tried the command, did you use mode=custom? like eel.start('index.html', mode=custom, cmdline_args[command])?

even if that works the command you got will mostly just open chrome where you left it. try using pyjnius as Vito Gentile suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27812852/webbrowser-open-doesnt-work-on-android
