public class ChromeCustomTabUtil {

        // Set custom tab colors

        int toolbarColor = ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.custom_tab_toolbar_color);

        int secondaryColor = ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.custom_tab_secondary_color);

        CustomTabsIntent.Builder builder = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder();

        builder.setToolbarColor(toolbarColor);

        builder.setSecondaryToolbarColor(secondaryColor);

        CustomTabsIntent customTabsIntent = builder.build();

       

        // Launch the custom tab
