Lightweight in-app browser offering native UI and secure shared authentication, fast pre-warming and optimized rendering, plus a single-call API to open and programmatically close URLs.
🌐 A lightweight in-app browser library for Kotlin Multiplatform.
Add the dependency to your build.gradle.kts of module:
commonMain.dependencies {
implementation("dev.yjyoon:kinappbrowser:1.0.0")
}
Initialize KInAppBrowser in your Activity and open URLs:
import dev.yjyoon.kinappbrowser.KInAppBrowser
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
// Initialize KInAppBrowser with current activity
KInAppBrowser.init()
KInAppBrowser.()
}
}
No initialization needed - directly open URLs:
import dev.yjyoon.kinappbrowser.KInAppBrowser
// Open URL in SFSafariViewController
KInAppBrowser.open("https://github.com/yjyoon-dev/KInAppBrowser")
// Programmatically close Safari view controller when needed
KInAppBrowser.close()
Works seamlessly with Compose Multiplatform:
@Composable
fun MyScreen() {
Button(
onClick = {
KInAppBrowser.open("https://example.com")
}
) {
Text("Open Website")
}
}
expect object KInAppBrowser {
/**
* Opens the specified URL in the platform's native in-app browser.
*
* @param url The URL to open
* @throws IllegalStateException on Android if not initialized
*/
fun open(url: String)
}
/**
* Initializes KInAppBrowser with the provided Activity.
* Must be called before using open() on Android.
*
* @param activity The Activity from which Custom Tabs will be launched
*/
fun init(activity: Activity)
/**
* Closes the currently presented SFSafariViewController.
* Optional method for programmatic dismissal.
*/
fun close()
