Cannot query for chrome's bookmarks when it is close

In my android app, the user supposes to search for bookmarks in chrome browser. But I found once I turn off the browser, the query will get a "null" cursor.(Works fine when chrome running in the background) Here is my code:(query for all bookmarks)

resultCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI, new String[] {Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE,Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL}, null, null, sortOrder);

There is no permission warning in the Log.

I tried to replace the content provider uri to "content://com.android.chrome.browser/bookmarks" and get the same problem. I wonder if there is something wrong in the query code, or it is just a bug at chrome side. Thanks.

  • It should be a Chrome issue. Reference: code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=497538
