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.
