Chrome CustomTabs for Android demystified. Simplifies development and provides

higher level classes including fallback in case Chrome isn't available on device.

# Usage

How to create a new custom tab intent and start it with a keep-alive service

as well as a fallback to plain old WebView should Chrome not be available on

the device:

```java

CustomTabsIntent customTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder()

        .addDefaultShareMenuItem()

        .setToolbarColor(this.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimary))

        .setShowTitle(true)

        .setCloseButtonIcon(backArrow)

        .build();

// This is optional but recommended

CustomTabsHelper.addKeepAliveExtra(this, customTabsIntent.intent);

// This is where the magic happens...

CustomTabsHelper.openCustomTab(this, customTabsIntent,

        Uri.parse("https://github.com/saschpe/android-customtabs"),

        new WebViewFallback());

```

Preload CustomTabs in your Application.java to warm-up early and reduce start-up

time:

```java

// Preload custom tabs service for improved performance

// This is optional but recommended

registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new CustomTabsActivityLifecycleCallbacks());

```
