Android: Open Browser with Supplying Session Cookie

Question

Hi,

I'm currently looking for a way to launch the default browser application on Android and pass a session cookie to it.

My application communicates with an external API over which I have no control using HttpClient, then passes the user to the site for the final stages.

I am aware that this is probably possible using a WebView, However I very specifically need to open the external browser application rather than using an internal WebView.

I know that:

Intent.ACTION_VIEW

Can be used to open the browser, however I have not managed to find much information about actually passing any additional data through.

Any help is much appreciated.

This is not possible, sorry.
