Hi

I have the following method to call a browser intent

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

private void callBrowser(String srcDir,String filename) {
                Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                browserIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
                browserIntent.setData(Uri.fromFile(new File(srcDir+File.separator+filename)));
                browserIntent.setClassName("com.android.browser", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"); 
                startActivity(browserIntent);
                }
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

and am calling this method using

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

callBrowser(destination, "index.html?session_id="+session_id);
Parsed in 0.029 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

By using this code i am trying to open a html file (which is there inside sdcard) in browser.

This method is working fine for all urls. But in emulator only. when i test it in device there am getting encoding problem. Means the characters in url which i am passing to browser activity is getting encoded(here i.e from ? to %3f).

at line number 4 in above code, browserintent has been set to encoded data. so the intent object is set to url with encoded characters.

Please help me to avoid url encoding.

Thanks
Shailaja

Hi All,
At last I found the solution for this. I use

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

browserIntent.setData(Uri.withAppendedPath((Uri.fromFile(new File(srcDir+File.separator+filename))), params));
Parsed in 0.033 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

instead of

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

browserIntent.setData(Uri.fromFile(new File(srcDir+File.separator+filename)));
Parsed in 0.034 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

and i call the browser using

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

callBrowser(destination, "/foldername","index.html?session_id="+session_id);
Parsed in 0.035 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

withAppendedPath() is a method in android that Creates a new Uri by appending an already-encoded path segment to a base Uri.
