I need some advice.
I used to be able to start up FireFox Android from my Android code by passing
an intent with local URL like in the code below... then could surf the local
html web within Firefox. But as of sometime in August new updates to Firefox
in Google Play this capability has broken. Version 68.11.0 worked OK but a
version soon after that something changed in Firefox. With the later releases
the startActivity(intent) will start up Firefox but not with the passed local
url.
Is there something I'm missing that changed?
Here is my code...
val url = resilioPath + "HHRPickALanguage.html"
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url))
intent.component = ComponentName("org.mozilla.firefox",
"org.mozilla.firefox.App")
this.startActivity(intent)
What can I do to get it working again? It is a pain to have to ask the user to
turn off Google Play Auto app Update and install an old version of Firefox.
My users are children in developing countries using my app to learn to read
their mother tongue while they cannot go to school due to the Covid-19. The
change in Firefox Android could not have come at a worse time.
Thanks!
