Open a file in google chrome with cmd without swapping to the new tab

[Ariiza13]

I'm new here and I'm looking for help, I found this way to open files on google chrome with java:


private void abrirVideo(String archivo) {
File arch = new File(archivo);
String comando = "cmd.exe /c start chrome \"" + (archivo) + "\"";
try {
String s = arch.getParent();
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(comando, null, new File(s));
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error abriendo archivo: " + archivo + "\n" + ex);
}
}


and it does work fine, it opens the file in the same window, but the problem I have is that it automatically swaps chrome to the new tab, I've been looking for a couple days on the web and I don't see any post about this. Is there a way to open those files (like pictures, videos, etc...) in chrome in a new tab, without automatically swapping to that new tab. Thank you for your help.

What does 'swap' signify here? Switching of the active tab?

Yes. It switches the active tab to that new tab.
I couldn't find any way to do it so i had to use this chrome extension to force chrome to never switch to new tabs:

But that solution could stop working in the future, so if you know any way to do it in the code itself i'll be really thankful.

Command-line switches and flags may prove useful. Refer to the documentation.
