"bookmark this site" button for mobile devices - android

I am creating a mobile webpage using jquery mobile, no luck in creating a button when tapping which will create a home page icon automatically, a one tap process, on both ios and android devices, something like the AddFavorite() function in the desktop world, is it technically possible ?

App inventor 2 open browsers (Firefox and Edge) with specific URL

I need to make an application in App inventor 2 that displays the website in the selected browser when clicked. I was able to do this for google chrome, but it doesn't work on firefox and edge. The firefox application starts up but does not enter the link. The Edge application does not turn on at all.
This is code for chrome browser:
This is edge:
This is Firefox (App starting but not search)
Unless you want your user to use a specific browser, I think a better approach would just be opening the link in the user's default browser. If they don't have a default browser, then Android should show the browser chooser.

Facebook App connects to website from desktop but not from mobile devices

I have a simple app that just accesses my website. From my FB Business Page it works fine clicking/tapping the "Use App" button displayed in the cover image using both desktop and mobile. It also works fine from the "Apps" section in the left sidebar on desktop. If I search FB, I can find both my page and my app in the search results. I can see the icon for my app in the search results. From desktop I can click the app icon returned from search, and it works fine. On mobile if I tap the app icon, the error "The page you requested was not found" is displayed.
How can I get my app to work on mobile too?

Whats is the android equivalent for iOS web browser back-to-app button?

In the android app that I'm developing, there is a requirement to open some web sites in external web browser.
When it comes to iOS apps, when you open an web page from external browser, the browser shows a "back to " button on top of the browser (on task bar) as depicted in the picture below (green box top left hand corner
.
User can click on that button and navigate back to the application where you open this browser
Is it possible to have such a button displayed in android app as well?

Set webapp on iPhone and Android

I want to replicate the functionality that shows on map.google.com or m.grooveshark.com for example that when you access the web app on the default browser it asks you as a user if you want to set this webapp on your "desktop". ¿How do I do that on both platform?.
I'd suggest you try the Mobile Bookmark Bubble javascript library.
The Mobile Bookmark Bubble is a JavaScript library that adds a promo bubble to the bottom of your mobile web application, inviting users to bookmark the app to their device's home screen.
There are two new versions of implementation, one supports Mobile Safari only, while the other supports Mobile Safari, Android, Blackberry touch smartphones and Playbook.

disable image download on android browser

how do I disable the functionality on Android browsers where a user can press and hold and image and bring up a "save image" popup dialog.
for ios devices, -webkit-touch-callout:none; works, but this seems to have no effect on android browsers
attach an event handler for the click event which calls event.preventDefault(). At least this did work for me when using ICS´ default web browser, chrome beta and opera mobile.
