Question: does CustomTabsIntent support setPackageName()?

[petrosmm]

Was working on a piece of code and I was under the impression that CustomTabsIntent could setPackageName() using customTabsIntent.intent.setPackageName("com.google.android.youtube"). Can anyone confirm if I am missing something... I had to put it in this form because I could setPackageName but it wouldn't work.

  Intent intent = null;
                    try {
                        intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                        intent.setPackage("com.google.android.youtube");
                        intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                        startActivity(intent);
                    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                        CustomTabsIntent customTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent
                                .Builder()
                                .addDefaultShareMenuItem()
                                .setToolbarColor(view.getContext().getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary))
                                .setShowTitle(true)
                                //  .setCloseButtonIcon(backArrow)
                                .build();

                        // This is optional but recommended
                        CustomTabsHelper.addKeepAliveExtra(view.getContext(), customTabsIntent.intent);

                        // This is where the magic happens...
                        CustomTabsHelper.openCustomTab(view.getContext(), customTabsIntent,
                                Uri.parse(url),
                                new WebViewFallback());
                    }

The built intent hold by CustomTabsIntent has a setPackage method, see https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#setPackage(java.lang.String)

I tried that using customTabsIntent.intent.setPackageName("com.google.android.youtube") but it doesn't seem to work unless I use a plain old intent.... Any thoughts? I will try again, make sure I am not going crazy and double confirm.

I guess I got it working, but I don't know how, thank you.
