[Sugar-devel] How to start the Browse activity from my own activity?

[Behavior Vehikel]

Addendum to my question about starting the Browse activity from my own activity.

In a reply to my question Gonzalo Odiard wrote: “Can't you use hulahop
like SocialCalc?”
I tried it today. Used a few lines of code from Browse and now I can
display the HTML inside my activity. Think this will improve
usability. The user can switch between tabs in my activity. No need to
switch between different activities.
