(This may be specific to the Galaxy, which is what I'm using)
When I click a link to an SE site in the Android app, it gives me an "open with" pop-up that has three options:
- Internet
- Chrome
- Stack Exchange
I can then choose to open SE posts like this "Just once" or "Always."
The problem is that when I set the SE app to "always," and I click "open in browser,"
- I choose Chrome in the pop-up
- The Chrome app opens the link
- I am then redirected back to the SE app (???)
This must be because it's trying to handle the "Always open in SE app" part. But the problem is that now the "Open in browser" option is pointless!
Could this be fixed somehow?

) instead of the full one (/questions/216419/open-in-browser-does-nothing-when-android-app-is-set-as-default
). Then, when Chrome gets a 301 redirect, it checks for a default app for the new URL, finds StackExchange, and opens it there. Maybe using the full link, thereby avoiding the 301, will solve the problem? – Hod - Monica's Army Jan 29 '14 at 18:29/questions
returns a link item, with the full URL. (I assume you're already using the API for other things) – Hod - Monica's Army Jan 29 '14 at 18:35Intent
to hope that I can do it without hacks. – Kasra Rahjerdi Feb 21 '14 at 1:25
