in how far is the chrome custom tab customizable? We are programming a app which is loading a webview in a fragment with an own header (action bar) and footer. Is custom tab loading in full screen or is their any way to load a chrome custom tab with a margin or something like that?
To change the action bar title or color is not enough for our plan.
Also i want to know about a way to display css3 properly in android versions without chromium (above android version 4.4 as far as i know).
Thank you in advance.
The Custom Tabs Activity takes the whole screen, but it's is possible to customize the Toolbar (header) and, on most recent versions, to add a Bottom Toolbar (footer).
Here's a list of customizations possible with Custom Tabs:
- Custom Toolbar color
- Adding an Action button to the Toolbar
- Adding Menu Items to the overflow menu
- Custom Back button icon
- Custom start/exit animations
In the version 23.2.0 of the Custom Tabs support library, the following customizations have been added:
- Adding up to 5 Action buttons to a bottom toolbar
- Custom color for the bottom toolbar
- Adding a default Share action to the overflow menu.
There are samples on how to implement each of those customizations on the Github Demo
