How to close the web browser

How can I be sure the web browser and all screens are completely closed on the droid 2

Why is closing the browser important? Are you concerned about battery life?
To close any app that is running you can go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running and force stop on the browser.
It is certainly harder than on PC or MAC platforms, and even on some other smartphones.  At the same time, in many smartphones including Windows Mobile, iPhone, BB and others, the general model is different than computers - the general approach is that well behaved applications in essence are meant to be demanding no CPU when they are not in focus, unless there's some explicit background function like periodically obtaining e-mail and such.
Certainly this may not always be the case, especially if an app is not coded correctly - but generally the guidelines for developers of smartphone code across multiple platforms discourages having an exit button and instead focuses on how to make sure an app is well behaved and low in demand during expected prolonged periods of dormancy.

  • How to close the web browser already opened by a SAP report?

    Hi all,
    pretty strange question: a report written on an old 46C system "triggers" a web app opening a web link with the predefined browser.
    I've seen many alternatives to open a web page (call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute, call method open_browser), but no methods to eventually close the browser and I wonder if it's possible.
    The meaning of this request: the report will probably scheduled, so we'd like to trigger the web app and then close the browser... we are using this unusual method since managing web service calls in our obsolete system seems problematic (we opened a thread in SOA section specifically on the topic... seems it's not possible to do in a "clean" way).

    After trying a bit, I noticed it's not possible since there's no control on the lauched application. Solved using a workaround, thanks

  • End-user closes the Web browser's window...

    Hi ,
    I have an Exit_Form selection on a menu.....
    Is it possible the code being there to be executed whenever the end-user closes the web-browser's window.....???
    I use Dev10g.
    Thanks , a lot
    Simon

    Unfortunately... is is not applicable....because:
    1) Many users(application users) connect via a db user to the database.... , so i cannot relate each application user to a db session.
    2) The trigger on_logoff can not be used because of the first note....
    3) As i have written in my previous post the "exit_form" is not 'pure PL/SQL' code but 'forms' code.... It contains some 'erase(global_variables)' which are unknown to the db......
    Thanks , anyway...

  • Can applet close the Web browser window it embedded in?

    I know that a link or button in the Web browser can close the browser window. But I really don't if the applet can also do it.

    This site does have a search function you know, and if thats too much trouble there is google:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Asun.com+%22java+to+javascript%22&ie=UTF-8&hl=nl&lr=
    This should point you in the direction of a thing called JSObject
    Here is some code since I have this in my archive anyway:
    the html file:
         <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"

             try{
                 win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
    // you need win.eval("window.close();"); // to close the window. if the current window is not a popup
    // opened by a parent with window.open than the user will get a waring, your next question probably will
    // be "can I stop this warning" and the answer is simple: NO

  • How I make the Web Browser Control to display a PDF in Windows 8

    I have an application that run ok in previous version of windows,  Where I can load a PDF file and the web browser control automatically use the Reader OCX of Adobe,, After Install windows 8 and download the reader for windows 8 still get and (X) where the document should be displayed.  I use the following command in my program to force the windows 8 to use the same web browser (10) in my web browser control.
    WebBrowser1.Navigate(DocumentName,"",Nothing,"User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/6.0)")
    But still get an  (X). IF I use the URL that is in the property of the (X) and paste in my regular IE10, it open the PDF file.

    Adobe Reader Touch is a Windows Store app and does not install a browser add-on/plug-in for "in-browser" PDF viewing.
    You can either
    Install Adobe Reader XI (desktop app) which installs browser plug-ins for Microsoft IE and Mozilla Firefox
    Use Google Chrome, which has a built-in PDF viewer (enabled by default)

  • Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

    I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
    It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
    I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
    MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.

  • What are the KEYstroke(s) used to CLOSE the active tab in the web browser?

    What are the KEYstroke(s) used to CLOSE the active tab in the web browser? I am reluctant to use a mouse where I can use keystrokes, as the mouse is a much slower process. In fact, can I find a list of all key strokes which can be used in Firefox, e.g. ALT+S followed by R (once or more) and ENTER used to restore previous browsing session; or CTRL+F to search for a specific word or term? Thank you.

  • How to close the browser from an Applet?

    Hi,
    I've written one applet, with 2 buttons (Continue & Exit). On click of Continue button, it will open another web page. On click of Exit button, the browser should be closed.
    I'm not able to close the browser from the applet.
    Can any body help me.
    Rgds
    Santosh

    In my experience, calling Javascript from applets is flaky at best. However, I have gotten it to work in some cases. The following code should get you started:
    netscape.javascript.JSObject win = netscape.javascript.JSObject.getWindow(applet);
    Now you can call different methods on the win object (look into Javascript documentation for details).
    It also depends on if you are using the Java Plug-in or the JVM built into the web browser. You probably need set MAYSCRIPT=TRUE in your HTML. Look into the Java Plug-in documentation for details...

  • Safari 7.1 opens direct image links centered in the web browser. I need it to open them left aligned like before the 7.1 update. How do I do make it do that?

    This is a major issue. I need the browser to open images left aligned like it did before this update. This is a major break to force this on people. There should be a option to click. "Check this box to open images centered in the web browser" and "Check this box to open images left aligned'.
    Not that hard to do. Now I am forced to resorting to asking how I can force my browser to go back to how it worked before the update.

    Anyone have any idea how to force Safari to work like I want it to?

  • How do I get the Adobe toolbar to display above a pdf in the web browser?

    Hi guys,
    I'm just having trouble with locating the grey toolbar, it's not displaying when I open a .pdf in a web browser.
    I can open the .pdf fine, (within Safari), and usually (on my old computer) there was a grey toolbar above the .pdf & there's a print icon on it - that's what I'm looking for, so that I can print my lecture notes straight away.
    The toolbar won't display on the web browser above the .pdf, but if I save the .pdf & open it with Adobe Reader, then the toolbar displays there with all of the icons etc.
    So I was wanting to know if instead of saving them every time, if there's an option to get the toolbar displaying above .pdfs in Safari?
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, iOS does not provide a way to install "plugins" to Safari so there is no possible way the Reader can do this. You can use the "open in" functionality to launch Reader from Safari.

  • How to open non-HTML fiiles in the web browser???

    Hi.. My project requires that I should be able to open all the non-HTML or HTML files in the web browser itself. Ex. If there is some pdf file or doc file or any other file it should open in the browser itself. If the appropriate plug-ins are not there then it should first ask to download those plug-ins and then after downloading it the file should open in the browser.
    I would be grateful if anyone can help me out. If there is some link or something like that then please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi,
    you can open non-HTML files in the browser... when the file is sent from the server side you have to set the content type to match the content type of the file you are sending..
    for example, if you are sending a pdf file.. you have to set the content type as : application/pdf
    Another example: If you are sending a word doc use: application/msword
