Waydroid Passthrough Browser - Open links in host browser |
||||
Waydroid Passthrough Browser - Open links in host browser |
||||
|
||||
Passthrough Browser has two components --- a server and a client. The server is |
||||
a Python program written with Flask, while the client is an Android app written |
||||
using [MIT App Inventor](https://appinventor.mit.edu). The server listens for |
||||
HTTP POST connections on TCP port 8888 on an IP address only accessible to |
||||
programs running on the host or in the Waydroid container. When it receives a |
||||
properly formatted request, it opens the host's browser to the URL specified in |
||||
the request. The client, when installed in Waydroid, is intended to be set as |
||||
the default browser. After this is done, whenever an Android app attempts to |
||||
open a Web page, it will open the Passthrough Browser client just as it would |
||||
launch any other browser. The client then sends the URL to the server, which |
||||
causes the host browser to open. |
||||
|
||||
## Installation |
||||
|
||||
Run `./install_both.sh`. (Make sure Waydroid is running first.) Installing the |
||||
client requires running a command as root; the script uses `sudo`. You may need |
||||
to enter your password during installation. |
||||
|
||||
## Credits |
||||
|
||||
The client app uses the |
||||
[CustomWebView](https://github.com/vknow360/CustomWebView/tree/beta) (beta |
||||
version) App Inventor extension by Sunny Gupta. CustomWebView is used under the |
||||
MIT licese. |
