How to hide url in Chrome custom tab android

Question

I have implemented new Chrome Custom Tab in android, I am using the following code to open

Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://akash.plobal.com/ploicy");
CustomTabsIntent.Builder intentBuilder = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder();                   
intentBuilder.setToolbarColor(Color.BLACK);
intentBuilder.setShowTitle(true);
intentBuilder.build().launchUrl(getActivity(), uri);

I need to hide url below the title in toolbar

Answer 1

It is not currently possible to hide the url below the title. The urls needs to visible to the user, so that they can know in which site they are. By removing this from the UI, a malicious site could mimic the UI of another one, and this could potentially create a security issue for users.

Answer 2

You cannot hide the url alone. You can only get rid of the whole title bar, that too when the user scroll the view. To achieve this,use

intentBuilder.enableUrlBarHiding();

Answer 3

You can try setShowTitle(false) of your custom tab.
