| # Navigation interception |
| |
| This component is for navigation interception on the Android platform. |
| This component directory provides an interface for intercepting these |
| navigations, however it does not implement any other behavior. It's up to the |
| content embedder (ex. //chrome folder) to choose what to do once the navigation |
| is intercepted. |
| |
| An example of something the content embedder may choose to do might be to create |
| an [`Intent`] to another application. An example of this is when a user clicks |
| on a link to a YouTube video: in this scenario, the browser may prefer to send |
| an `Intent` to the Android YouTube app (if it's installed on the user's device), |
| so that the video can play within that app instead of in the browser. |
