Whenever I click a specific URL in my browser (chromium-based right now), I want the URL to be sent to tasker directly instead of being opened in the actual browser. Chromium based browser usually lets you link youtube-urls to the YouTube app as an example. Is there a way to override/modify these app links and redirect them to another app instead?

Just out of curiosity, why would you need this in place? I'm having issues trying to get adm to take over from certain URLs.
I think this interests me.

AutoTools offers Web Screens. One of them is a Youtube player which plays videos on a floating windows. I thought it would be nice to make it pop up whenever I click a Youtube-url instead of it opening in the app.
I haven't spent a lot of time pondering this, but maybe you could repurpose this clipboard manager task.

Hey man, have a look at AT Player
You might be able to get it to do just that. Idk

The way I do it is use AutoShare commands. You can share the link instead of clicking on it, and it runs the YouTube web Screen. You can also watch the clipboard, as someone else mentioned, and if it matches http*youtu* run the task.

seems it aint been released in UK as I get this message 'The requested item is not available in your location'
Just downloaded it, awesome app. HQ playback on 3G.
I was able to find it via the device market place. Just go to Apps and do a search for YouTube and you would find it in the list.
But I am not sure about the app's search functionality. I have tried searching for a video in native WP7 YouTube app, which gave me a bunch of results, but the same search did not come up with any results on the HTC YouTube one.

Try going into settings and change to show all, default is set to show only todays newests uploaded videos
Really really like the app, way better than the other youtube app.
It is kind of slow/laggy though but overall it is a great app, needs the ability to sign in with account.

Had the same problem from the desktop app, but using the instructions in post 1 i was able to get it.
Just installed it in the UK, Apps, Music and Video, New, 4th one down.
I couldn't get Firefox 4 to show up in the app market, but it seems to load fine as an apk. You can get it here:
ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0/android-r7/multi/
Does not show in the market app but does in the web market
Installed perfectly from the web market send to my gtab, which is exactly the opposite of how most of the other apps work for me.
I tried that, but the market doesn't see my gtab as a device to send to, unfortunately.
Its a nice browser but needs flash support to be great. Unless I'm missing something.

Nope you are not,
No flash, FC's on swiftkey, and a few more bugs. My chief reason for it being on my gtab is SYNC.
no flash. but it supports adblock addon. Hope the flash is coming
I never thought to look on the Mozilla FTP server for that browser. Nice find.
It at least gives me something new to tinker with.

You can "pull" the website to the left or right and tool bars appear on the sides. The right side has your bookmark, fwd, and back buttons. The left side has your tabs.
Wow, just used the google print cloud add on and was able to print a web page from the firefox browser to my hp2600n network printer. My Gtab is getting better.
Works on my HTC Incredible too. Thanks
The graphics look horrible to me when I go to websites using FF4. I open the same site in Dolphin or the others the graphics on a website look decent, but in FF they look bad. I have not been able to find anything in the config that controls the compression or graphics.
I set up my gtab as a new device from my desktop (sync). I don't see my saved tabs in the tabs on my gtab. any ideas?
Good start for FireFox & I'm sure it will get better as time comes along, but for me I'll wait till it gets better.
Currently I use only 2 browsers: Opera & Angel browser, with Angel browser being one of my favorites (for the time being).
I like the fact that you can type in a custom user agent, I set mine to Chrome Desktop & it works perfect. Tested on Hulu using the Flash Mod & it works fine as well.

I was able to use the web browser version. It is a flex application, so it runs flash. Gets laggy sometimes if they're sending high quality video, but it is watchable.

The only problem is that I don't want to pay for HBO and extra data. If I'm in the position to get WiFi, I'm probably in the position to watch TV. Sounds like a good thing for subscribers at a hotspot. I hope it works great.

This came out before its release date and they got the android support way faster than I thought they would... looks like HBO has their **** together, so I don't think we'll have to wait very long for honeycomb support. App runs great on my epic, quality is better than you'd expect for streaming, really looking forward to this on my xoom.

I've heard that on the Xoom if you go to hbogo.com you should be able to use that until they release the tablet app. However, when I go to that site I can't do anything. It has 4 squares: "On Your Computer" "On Your Ipad" "On Your Iphone" and "On your Android Smartphone" but none of these do anything when I tap them. I don't see anywhere to log in either.
Website works for me.... but id like a app
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
i cant watch from browser either,which browser are you using?
On the HBO website from Xoom, you have to use another browser, like Dolphin, and specify a desktop agent in settings. That will get you past the page you are referring to, but, I am not able to log in to my directv account - the window inside the page doesn't allow text entry.
Or in Xoom browser, in the address bar, type debug:about, then go into settings - set UA to desktop. This allows you to get past the initial page, but I can't type my Directv login information in the popup window.
Anyone able to get around this?

I don't have a Xoom. Just the OG Droid. I also get the message that it isn't supported on my device. I read a thread that said that putting my device in airplane mode before opening the app, then launching would throw a network error. At that point, taking my phone off of airplane mode and then trying again lets me use the app.
That got me thinking there must be something calling home reporting my device model. I set my phone for WIFI and I had my router log what URLs were being called right before the failure. The one that stood out was this one:
catalog.hbogo.com/apps/mediacatalog/rest/settings.json?category=an
So I had my router block that specific URL. Presto, damn thing works on OG Droid with no issue, at least on WiFi. Is there any way that URL can be blocked on the our devices instead or can the APK be modified to not call that URL?

Won't work as the app has other things it needs from that site. Blocking the URL itself though does the trick though.

Hey all!
I've had the tab for a while and its pretty much been with me for UNI alot more than my laptop.
I don't do much word processing, but alot of PDF reading. Sometimes I'd need to have 2-3 PDFs open (e.g one is the assignment question and one is reference). It's a real hassle having to open and close a PDF and also scroll back to were I was before.
I've read the Notion ink has "panels" where things are open at the same time... but that is a whole ROM thing. Any ideas?
Also, having seen the HP touchpad and pre phones, that "tap to share" feature is cool. I know its more a hardware thing, but I also know there is an app called bump which sends pics via bumping the devices.
Thing is, you need to be online for that. I'd usually tether my phone so that my tab has internet, but is there an equivalent using bluetooth? Bump to send anything would be nice!
Thanks in advance!

No problem.
Don't think there's an app on android as of yet on reading 2 PDF's at the same time, think there's a one in the Appstore (kno) but obviously that won't work on the Galaxy tab or any other android devices.

Well you can use 2 different pdf readers, and you can switch with the home button, by long pressing then chose the reader.
Hope it helps.

I don't know if it will directly help or not, but there are apps that let you tether through Bluetooth. If I am not mistaken, PDAnet is one such app.
Not a high quality post, but wondering if there is a browser app that works on Android Auto?
Any list available with all (unsupported) Android Apps?
Thx!
I highly doubt there is such a thing, especially since Google wants to keep Android Auto distraction-free.

It's funny, but in my case having no browser (even a text based interface from the phone/chrome would be grand) actually makes AA *more* distracting for me, as for work I travel from address to address for service calls, and my route is all accessed through my phone via chrome. As it stands, without AA, I have a nice big button in chrome that I can tap that will automagically load up the next customer's address in google maps, but in AA I have to unplug from USB, pull up my browser, look down at my screen, and memorize the address I need to go to next, then plug the phone in, launch AA, 'ok google xxx address' and proceed. It's a very similar process when I need to call ahead to let the person know I'm coming. As terrible as it is, I do not have the patience to pull over every single time I need to do this.. it would be far less distracting if I could have the cover page on my screen, tap the nice big buttons for maps and calling ahead and just carry on with my day!
I'm not saying you would lecture me on this, but just in case you (or anyone reading this) would, I *understand* that I shouldn't be doing this while driving, but I'm but human, and very flawed, and when I have an easy option to pull over I usually will, but when I don't, I don't, so support for this would be *much* safer.
