    For i = 0 To MassivePrivacyViolation.Length-1
        Log(i & ": " & MassivePrivacyViolation(i))
    Next

End Sub



'This will return an array of Strings of the form "title:url:date"
Public Sub GetChromeHistory As String()
  Dim jo As JavaObject
'  jo = Me 'use from within a class
  jo.InitializeContext 'use from within an activity
  Return jo.RunMethod("GetChromeHistoryJava", Null)
 
 

End Sub

#If JAVA
import android.provider.Browser;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.database.Cursor;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.collections.List;

public String[] GetChromeHistoryJava()
{
String[] proj = new String[]{Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE, Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL, Browser.BookmarkColumns.DATE };   //NEW
Uri uriCustom = Uri.parse("content://com.android.chrome.browser/bookmarks");
String sel = Browser.BookmarkColumns.BOOKMARK +" = 0"; // 0 = history, 1 = bookmark
Cursor mCur = getContentResolver().query(uriCustom, proj, sel,null,null);
mCur.moveToFirst();

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
String title ="";
@SuppressWarnings("unused")

@SuppressWarnings("unused")  //NEW
String date ="";                      //NEW
List res = new List();
res.Initialize();

if(mCur.moveToFirst()&& mCur.getCount()>0)
{
   boolean cont = true;
   while(mCur.isAfterLast()==false&& cont)
   {
      title = mCur.getString(mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE));
      url = mCur.getString(mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL));
      date = mCur.getString(mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.DATE));      //NEW

      res.Add(title + ":" + url + ":" + date);      //NEW
      mCur.moveToNext();
   }
}
mCur.close();
String[] resArr = new String[res.getSize()];
for(int i=0;i<res.getSize();i++)
{
   resArr[i] = (String)res.Get(i);
}
return resArr;
}
#End If

It works on my device. Did the previous version, without the date, work for you without issue? You still have the edit to the manifest in place, correct?

I added some logging statements. Show me your logs when you run this:

#If JAVA
import android.provider.Browser;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.database.Cursor;
import anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.collections.List;

public String[] GetChromeHistoryJava()
{
     BA.Log("0");
     String[] proj = new String[]{Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE,Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL, Browser.BookmarkColumns.DATE };
     BA.Log("1");
     Uri uriCustom = Uri.parse("content://com.android.chrome.browser/bookmarks");
     String sel = Browser.BookmarkColumns.BOOKMARK +" = 0"; // 0 = history, 1 = bookmark
     Cursor mCur = getContentResolver().query(uriCustom, proj, sel,null,null);
     @SuppressWarnings("unused")
     String title ="";
     @SuppressWarnings("unused")
     String url ="";
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
     String date ="";
     List res = new List();
     res.Initialize();

     if(mCur.moveToFirst()&& mCur.getCount()>0)
     {
         boolean cont = true;
         while(mCur.isAfterLast()==false&& cont)
         {
             BA.Log("position: " + mCur.getPosition());
             title = mCur.getString(mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE));
             url = mCur.getString(mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.URL));
            BA.Log("2");
            date = mCur.getString(mCur.getColumnIndex(Browser.BookmarkColumns.DATE));
            BA.Log("3");
             res.Add(title + ":" + url + ":" + date);
             mCur.moveToNext();
          }
     }
    mCur.close();
    String[] resArr = new String[res.getSize()];
    for(int i=0;i<res.getSize();i++)
    {
        resArr[i] = (String)res.Get(i);
    }
     return resArr;
}
#End If
