Unity Chrome Custom Tabs

Unity plugin integration with Chrome Custom Tabs for Android

INSTALLATION

• Open Package Manager in Unity
• Press "+" and "Add package from git URL..."
• Enter this repository and version as https://github.com/onedevapp/Unity_ChromeCustomTabs.git#TAG (see latest version here)

Requirements

• You project should build against Android 5.0 (API level 21) SDK at least.
• This plugin uses a custom tool for dependency management called the Play Services Resolver

How To

Once the Browser Library is added to your project there are two sets of possible customizations:

• Customizing the UI and interaction with the custom tabs.
• Making the page load faster, and keeping the application alive.

The UI Customizations are done by using the CustomTabsIntent and the CustomTabsIntent.Builder classes; the performance improvements are achieved by using the CustomTabsClient to connect to the Custom Tabs service, warm-up the browser and let it know which urls will be opened.

Opening a Custom Tab

The most basic example to launch a Chrome tab is through a custom intent as shown below:

ChromeCustomTab.OpenCustomTab(string urlToLaunch, string colorCode, string secColorCode);

Configure the color of the address bar

• One of the most important (and simplest to implement) aspects of Custom Tabs is the ability for you to change the color of the address bar to be consistent with your app's theme.

   ChromeCustomTab.OpenCustomTab(string urlToLaunch, string colorCode, string secColorCode);	//"#FF0000" - red

• Toggle title in header toolbar

   ChromeCustomTab.OpenCustomTab(string urlToLaunch, string colorCode, string secColorCode, bool showTitle);	

• Hide URL bar on scrolling

   ChromeCustomTab.OpenCustomTab(string urlToLaunch, string colorCode, string secColorCode, bool showTitle, bool showUrlBar);	

AndroidManifest

Register these activities, receivers and queires in the manifest only when ur choosing Custom Main Manifest in Unity

	<application>
		<activity
			android:name="com.onedevapp.customchrometabs.WebViewActivity" android:exported="true"/>
		<activity android:name="com.onedevapp.customchrometabs.CustomHeadlessActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.Transparent" android:exported="true">
		</activity>
		<receiver android:name="com.onedevapp.customchrometabs.ActionBroadcastReceiver" />
	</application>

	<queries>
		<intent>
			<action android:name=
				"android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService" />
		</intent>
	</queries>
