title: Open browser with last visited url
body: <p>This is what I am using to open the browser with the given <strong>URI</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.google.com/"));
  startActivity(browserIntent);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can open the browser with previous visited page. Or say just open the Browser, so that last viewed page is shown.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Purpose:</strong></p>
  
  <p>In application user is asked to submit a URL, So instead of typing, it has an option <strong>Open Browser</strong> so that he/she can copy the URL, come back and submit it. There is a good probability that the last URL is what he/she wants to submit</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I can get the last visited page from the browser history using</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but while installing the application, it says:</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>This application will read your browser history</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>which on seeing, no one installs.</p>
  
  <p>Any way to change the Browser settings like, switch on <strong>Continue where I left</strong> ??</p>
