question

I'm going to repost the answer that @Sam provided via email, in case it comes in handy for others.

Publicly accessible browsers are not supported on our devices due to compliance reasons but you can use webviews. https://developer.android.com/referen...

The simplest way to do this would be to set the entire Activity window as a WebView during onCreate()

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); WebView webview = new WebView(this); setContentView(webview); webview.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/"); }

While we allow for WebViews, we encourage that all native Android Application best practices be followed as closely as possible so that experience does not feel like a WebView. An important one would be using OAuth to automatically sign into your application using the device auth token. https://github.com/clover/android-examples/tree/master/gettoken

Best, Sam

@Robin W you should be able to do this.

Can you please share your code?

Do you have internet permission in your manifest? <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Ok I figured it out. In addition to the code suggested above by Sam the following line is required in the AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

I assume this gives the necessary permissions to the app to use the internet.

phew ..that was an ordeal. thanks for everyone's help.
