[android_intent_plus] [Bug]: category.APP_BROWSER not working

[TheCarpetMerchant]

Platform

10

Plugin

android_intent_plus

Version

3.1.1

Flutter SDK

3.0.1

Steps to reproduce

AndroidIntent(
    action: 'action_view',
    data: url,
    //category: 'android.intent.category.APP_BROWSER',
  ).launchChooser('Choose your browser');

This opens the chooser with all the apps that can open url, notably the web browsers. However, specifying the category leads to no app showing up in the chooser.

It probably is a problem with missing arguments for example, but I'm honestly not sure what I'm supposed to add here.

Logs

No error.

Have you considered using https://pub.dev/packages/url_launcher instead?

[TheCarpetMerchant]

@miquelbeltran Yes of course, but it allows choosing the "Always" option, and the app is used to open links from a website in a different UI, basically. So if you choose "Always" with the app for example, url_launcher won't open the link with another app, which is what I'm looking for.

[miquelbeltran]

Take a look at the Android documentation: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent#CATEGORY_APP_BROWSER

Used with ACTION_MAIN to launch the browser application. The activity should be able to browse the Internet.

Does it require action_main, not action_view, right? Can you try that?

[TheCarpetMerchant]

ACTION_MAIN specifies that no data is transmitted to the app, so this isn't what I'm looking for here ; and even then, the result is the exact same (at least visually : no apps are shown in the chooser).

Is what you are trying to accomplish working on Android natively? Have you tried that? What I mean, is that if this is an OS issue/question rather than a plugin issue, you will get better support on other places like StackOverflow.
