Android URL reduced, look before it comes with a ... - The Android Free

If you are fed up click on URL reduced in an app on your smartphone or tablet just to have to go through a browser or yes, I have a solution for you. For those who do not know what links are reduced or do not know why they are a problem in Android, some context , the rest can jump to the section you please

shortened URL

Most web addresses are long and cumbersome to handle. That’s why we developed this great invention that short URLs are typical examples are the starting pot bit.ly, goo.gl, youtu.be … This typically uses what is called URL redirection and allows pointing over a link to a web page. So although the new URL is shortened end up exactly on the same page . Yet we must distinguish two cases: Redirection “internal” as in the case of youtu.be and then external services such as bit.ly.

links and applications

Android offers the ability to choose which application to open a link when we click. This means that if you open a link Youtube, we can go to the app or the browser. As with twitter, Google PLay, Reddit … Basically to click the link the phone recognizes it as a possible link to the app and we offer it as an option. The problem is that these applications often do not recognize the short, especially those using intermediate servers, and we have to open it in a browser and then we turn to the application if it recognizes the new link (Note : not always the case if the service is internal and Youtube as the developer can put the app recognizes the type youtu.be links).

Now, the solution

If you’re sick of this process, I present Short URL Resolver . With this application you can skip the step of opening a browser: only click on a link you will have the option to open with this application, that “ stretch” enlaceoriginal getting the link to the page and then the phone will offer orignal link options. Free , small footprint, and saves time . Do not forget your comments and experiences with short URL and the app!
