I am not sure if this is something other than "by design" and if I have understood the reasons for the behavior please correct me. Also if this is a duplicate issue, please delete this. I did search but didn't get any suitable match.

Some (or many) android apps as I have figured are more or less frontends to webpages, or at least temporarily for letting the user log in to a service or site. What happens in this case is that the jolla native browser opens instead to do whatever web-request that application issued. This cause trouble with how the app is intended to work, I think they expect some integrated interaction within the android environment. They sort of loose their connection and the only thing that happens is that the native browser takes over things to be just viewing the web page. Maybe this sounds unclear, I hope someone understand what I mean.

I have for instance an app for a swedish tv channel, "TV 4", when I start the android app for it it just opens the webpage for that TV channel and the Jolla browser is not able to play the content. The android app would have succeeded playing it. If I do it in another way that I open the "tv 4" web page in firefox, and then click one of the streams there it opens properly using the app instead.

Is this something that can be fixed by modifying mime-types somehow?

Many apps seems to suffer from this behaviour that the Jolla browser "takes over".

EDIT: Maybe we are missing something in alien-dalvik, that usually can be done from an android settings screen. The ability to configure cache and settings for an app - being able to "clear" data and cache for a specific app. Alien dalvik seems to have no settings for anything, AFAIK.
