A deprecated GoogleChrome repository hosting examples and documentation for Chrome Custom Tabs, which lets Android apps open web content in a customized Chrome activity. It has been superseded by android-browser-helper and androidx.browser.

Use cases

  • open web links inside my android app without a webview
  • customize the browser toolbar color when launching chrome from my app
  • learn how to implement chrome custom tabs on android
  • share browser cookies and session state with in-app web content
  • migrate from custom-tabs-client to androidx.browser
  • make external web pages feel like part of my android app

When to choose

  • studying legacy custom tabs implementations or maintaining an old Android app already using it

When to avoid

  • starting a new Android project - use androidx.browser or android-browser-helper instead
  • using AndroidX or Jetifier, since this library has known runtime crashes with AndroidX
  • needing maintained code or support - the repository is deprecated
