Android programmatically delete Chrome / default browser cookies, history, searches

Like the title. I want to delete cookie, cache of browser of Android by coding in my application. (browser not webview) Thank you!

Solution

  • In your Activity or Service, add

    ContentResolver cR = getContentResolver();

if(Browser.canClearHistory(cR)){
    Browser.clearHistory(cR);
    Browser.clearSearches(cR);
}

    where Browser is the android.provider.Browser class.

    This will clear the default browser's history.
