Android Example [B4X] get fav icons from a website

Alexander Stolte · Jan 6, 2021

simply add this to a url:

B4X:

/favicon.ico

Examples:

https://paypal.com/favicon.ico

https://netflix.com/favicon.ico

https://b4x.com/favicon.ico

Not all websites use the same approach. We can also use png and store at other directory from root.
For e.g. I store my favicon of https://api.computerise.my at https://api.computerise.my/assets/img/favicon.png

Rightclick the page and select view source then look for the following line:

HTML:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="assets/img/favicon.png"/>

Use Google Favicon snatcher:

B4X:

https://s2.googleusercontent.com/s2/favicons?domain=put_domain_here&sz=put_icon_size_here

Example: https://s2.googleusercontent.com/s2/favicons?domain=google.com&sz=64

Note: Icon size can be 16,32,48,64,96,128,256 etc.

16x16 is too small. And the variant with 32x32 is too unsharp.

Link updated. You can add size parameter to resize icon.
