Hi
Have backed-up all my Firefox bookmarks on the computer to a HTML-file and copied it to the E10i.
What I wanted was to use it as a start page on the Mini's browser.
But...
I can't get to work.
Astro finds the file and opens it in a HTML-viewer that only opens the links in the web browser.
Having the paid version of Astro file manager and the E10i's (latest FW, unrooted) original web browser.
Is there a way to open HTML-files from the browsers address field. So I can bookmark the file and select it as the start page?
Or is it time to move to other apps?
Would love some help as I really would love to have the same bookmarks in both the comp and the E10i. Also using all links in a HTML-file makes updating easy.
Acessing HTML files from stock web browser adress field
It's too easy. If you already have Astro installed, just point your browser to:
content://com.metago.astro.filesystem/sdcard/yourfile.html
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now replace "yourfile.html" as you need. To use subdirectories, you just need to add before of "yourfile.html" the respective(s) subdirectory(ies) where is your file "subdirectory1/subdirectory2/yourfile.html".
I hope that helped you.
Sorry my bad english.
Hello,
i am using APP Inventor, but it put my question as general from Android.
How can i directly download a file from WEB without the browser try to open it.
I i put a url like: privatesite.blablabla/image.jpg
he will put the image in the browser, because browser can load the file and show it on screen, but i want to download it without reading it.
I need that to put inside App inventor, but if it's possible to do it in HTML or other, that's ok, i think i can make app inventor run an external application.
Thank a lot

Have you tried other browsers for example opera mobile?
Programmatically

Well, you can do it programmatically, so maybe an app can do this, with a page in which you just put the url and it gives you the possibility to retrieve the file in your filesystem.

You might find a good way to solve it using cURL, which also has been ported to Android.
I am on 4.0.4, AT&T rooted device. all stock. I installed the ICS Browser+ and love the features but the force clearing has finally convince me to use firefox since it is what I use in my desktop anyway. I have way too many bookmarks to just manually move them to firefox. I wanted to open up the file that this browser uses to store the bookmarks but I dont seem to find it. Seems "webview.db" could be the file but it will not open in SQLite Database Browser where the other DB files do. It has a "SQLite format 3" heading... I can open it up in notepad but it really looks more like a history file. anyway, any help in locating that file will be appreciated.
Hi Guys
First of all excuse me for posting here as I am far from a developer but you are the only ones who can help me with this.
Yesterday I was trying to download a file from Facebook, and it would download but then i could not find it anywhere, even plugged my phone to the computer and did a search and nothing. So I kept trying to download it.
Thing is today I used this password storing app and went to open my file where i have stored all my passwords (nothing to do with what happened yesterday).
And in most recent downloads i saw the 10 duplicates of the files i had downloaded yesterday, and this app gives me the path for example
content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/5412
how can i delete them having the path for each one?
thank you so much
Moved from development
I try to upload pdf file using my chrome browser that I have on my A52s 5g Samsung mobile, when I chose the pdf file it shows on browser that the size is 0 kb and when I click on upload button it just nothing happened, I reinstall the app but that didn't help.
Anyone has a solution can share it with me ?
Sounds like issues with access rights.
Can you please give me more information ?
I cannot because I do not know your setup and what you have modified or tried already. Perhaps you check other browser and other phone first.
Can you please tell me which apps are responsible so I can check them all ?
