I have implemented new Chrome Custom Tab in android, I am using the following code to open

    String url = "http://www.flipkart.com/";
    int color = Color.BLUE;
    CustomTabsIntent.Builder intentBuilder = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder();
    intentBuilder.setToolbarColor(color);
    intentBuilder.setShowTitle(true); 
    CustomTabActivityHelper.openCustomTab(
            this, intentBuilder.build(), Uri.parse(url), new  WebviewFallback());

I need to secure my URL or not like to show my URL to User, But there is a option Open in Chrome in default menu, By using this link user can open my URL in browser,By how hide the default menu?

my output

  • Chrome Custom Tabs should be used when you want to open a 3rd party Url or a 1st party one that is also available on the Web. If you are opening content that is exclusive to the app and therefore want a hidden Url, you may want to use the WebView or consider using a native UI. – andreban Sep 08 '15 at 07:59
  • Just out of curiosity. How exactly are you running this? On a phone with 6.0 Developer Preview? – Suleiman19 Oct 04 '15 at 16:50
  • @Suleiman19 For this we need to update Google chrome in your device, No need of 6.0,refer this https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/customtabs – appukrb Oct 06 '15 at 04:14

At this moment, it's not possible to hide the overflow menu or "Open in Chrome" menu item.

  • Are you sure? Twitter have customized the menu by removing the default icons row. This means that there is a way to play with the menu items, if it's not possible to hide the whole menu. – moud Nov 19 '15 at 11:23
  • Is it still the same ?, i.e we cannot hide overflow menu and URL bar in custom chrome tab. – SimpleCoder Nov 05 '18 at 03:22

Chrome Custom Tab actually uses Chrome app in user's mobile.

start activity in Chrome app by link, If chrome not installed on the user's mobile, it will use a webView as the default.

In fact, Chrome Custom Tabs is designed to display a web page where the user is sure that the programmer of that software does not have a phishing, Like a bank payment.

Therefore, you must show the options in the toolbar to the user.

This can be hide by using app link assistant.

complete guideline for how to create app link can be found here. https://developer.android.com/studio/write/app-link-indexing

after successful generation and verification the above header can be hidden.

I have implemented this and result is like enter image description here

You must add hiding flag before. To disable your URL parameter but it can't hide your site name.

intentBuilder.enableUrlBarHiding();
