Overview

Adds an "Open with" menu item to the 3 dots options menu, allowing users to select different browsers or apps to open their saved links. This addresses the feature request in #[issue_number] for giving users more control over which application handles their deeplinks.

Changes

New Menu Option

Added a new "Open with" option in the dropdown menu that appears when tapping the 3 dots (⋮) icon on any saved link. The option is positioned after "View Note" and before "Last Opened" timestamp.

Implementation Details

  • New Function: openDeeplinkWithChooser() in Utils.kt that wraps the intent with Intent.createChooser() to display Android's native app selection dialog
  • Menu Item: Added MenuItem.OpenWith sealed class entry with ExternalLink icon
  • Event Handler: Integrated the new option into the existing click handler flow with proper opened count tracking

User Experience

When users select "Open with":

  1. Android's native app chooser dialog appears
  2. Shows all installed apps that can handle the link (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Twitter app, etc.)
  3. User selects their preferred app
  4. Link opens in the selected application
  5. Opened count is incremented as expected

Localization

Added translations for "Open with" in all supported languages:

  • 🇬🇧 English: "Open with"
  • 🇫🇷 French: "Ouvrir avec"
  • 🇮🇳 Hindi: "इसके साथ खोलें"
  • 🇩🇪 German: "Öffnen mit"
  • 🇪🇸 Spanish: "Abrir con"
  • 🇵🇰 Urdu: "اس کے ساتھ کھولیں"

Benefits

  • ✅ Users can choose different browsers for different links
  • ✅ Open links in specialized apps (e.g., Twitter app for Twitter links)
  • ✅ Test links across multiple browsers easily
  • ✅ Provides flexibility for power users who want app-specific handling

Technical Notes

  • Uses Android's standard Intent.createChooser() API
  • Maintains consistency with existing openDeeplink() function
  • Follows existing error handling patterns with Toast messages
  • Properly validates links before opening
  • No breaking changes to existing functionality

Testing

The implementation has been verified to:

  • Follow existing code patterns and style
  • Include proper error handling
  • Maintain compatibility with the existing codebase
  • Pass CodeQL security analysis
