How to disable the “minimize” button in AndroidX CustomTabs?
16:34 23 Nov 2025

I’m using androidx.browser.customtabs with a CustomTabsIntent to open a webpage inside my Android app.

Chrome shows a minimize button (a small arrow/down icon) in the Custom Tab UI, allowing the user to collapse the tab into a page in page item.

I want to disable or remove this minimize button, because the behavior is confusing in my app’s flow.

Is there any API or configuration in CustomTabsIntent or Chrome Custom Tabs that allows disabling the minimize button?
