Hello,

I want to create an android application that redirect a URL to an other (for example, if I go to google.com, the application redirect to yahoo.fr).
It must works with default android browser or Chrome, firefox or event the in-app browser of facebook.

I don't really know how it works and I don't have a lot of references in this particular domain of android programming.

Another constraint is that it could work without rooting the phone. Is this possible ? If yes, do you have some hints or references to give me ?
(I've already search a bit on Proxy server or VPN but noting concret yet).

Thanks.

Surely, you can do thus in your app.

Some codes as below for your reference.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xadave.SmartUnitConverterFree_Google"));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
startActivity(intent);

Download size < 0.15 MB. But also accurate enough, ad-free & free.

I found I misunderstood your question.
In your app, you need to register something like a system level hook for web browsing events.
