WebView Intent Browser

A deliberately minimal Android WebView app that provides only basic webpage display.

This is not a real browser.

What It Does

  • Displays a webpage in a WebView
  • Shows the current URL (read-only)
  • Tapping the URL copies it to the clipboard
  • Supports navigation via links inside webpages
  • Shows a loading indicator
  • Handles external intents and can open other apps
  • Blocks access to blacklisted URLs and exits immediately

What It Does Not Do

  • No address bar
  • No URL editing
  • No tabs, bookmarks, or downloads
  • No standalone browsing
  • No bypass or override for blocked URLs

Intent-Only

The app is designed to be launched only via intents.
It loads the provided URL and acts as a simple web viewer.

Blacklisting

Certain URLs can be hard-blocked at build time.

  • Matches against URL substrings and prefixes
  • Ignores query parameters
  • Shows a warning toast and quits if blocked

No UI. No settings. No recovery.

Purpose

Built for intentionally restricted or “dumbed-down” devices where full browsers are removed, but essential web functionality (links, login pages, redirects) must still work.

Minimal by design.
