create custom browser for android

Question

I'm developing a browser for android. I simply need to create one search editbox with a history button.

When the user clicks 'history' button, up to five recent visited webpages should be presented.

I don't know where to start... Because I have no idea on how to do this...

Answer 1

You don't need a custom browser for that. You can embed a WebView in your app.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html

In this, you can get last 5 pages from History using JavaScript and display those URLs.

Answer 2

You should check WebView in android

If you want to customize it , extend webview class and you can go ahead from there.
