Is there a way to get information from the web browser in Android?

Question

I would like to create a charity application where if the users were to press the 'Donate' button, their browser would open up a link to a 3rd-party crowdfunding website where they would donate some amount for that project (or choose to exit the app or whatever!). How do I get to know what amount they have donated (or not!) from the browser so that this data can be used for that member's stats, etc.

use intent to browser for opening the website http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3004515/android-sending-an-intent-to-browser-to-open-specific-url — Chaudhary Amar, Jan 16 '16 at 11:28

Yes it is possible. You can use webView

 Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b);
 button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickLister()
 @overide
 public void onClick(View v) {
WebView mWebView=(WebView)_findViewById(R.id.webView);
mWebview .loadUrl("url for third party app");
        setContentView(mWebview );
});

or you can use intent

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b);
 button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickLister()
 @overide
 public void onClick(View v) {
WString url = "http://www.example.com";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(i);
});
