I have android application which contains a webview of one website with AR facility.
But I am facing an issue that normal webview of android doesn't allow to open AR mode and tried to open with intent then it will redirect to google sceneform link.
I want to add button in AR mode with website. That button can take screenshot of AR mode.
I have taken all the permissions. camera, AR.
Installed all of the plugins correctly still can't get succeed.
Please Consider that which technology is your webAR experience using ?! maybe it is webXR. and as you understood, webXR is not supported in android web view ! so if you really want to see AR in webview, you may reconsider which webAR you are using ( try AR.js or mind-AR or 8thWall(paid) or etc. )
But Consider that webXR is almost fully supported by chrome browser on android. so if you open that website on chrome browser, it may run without any problems. If you still have questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

I have built a chrome extension that works fine. I know I can't deploy it to android. So I would have to build an app. The app may or may not have anything to do with chrome; I don't know. This isn't a chrome extension question.
But as to the integration between the app and the on-board browser, I see the android api doesn't have any functionality for browser or web integration? Is that correct?
I'm just making sure because building an app that is essentially it's own proprietary browser, just to get my functionality onto android, is not really something I think a lot of people would download. I'm looking for a more integrated way than that. Is there one?
For those who say impossible, I know for a fact there is an app which added a context menu inside chrome on android but I have no idea how they did that or what other integration is possible. It was a webpage pdf converter. Upon clicking that menu it converted the webpage to pdf, and opened the pdf in the app.
I have customers wanting my website in app form, but the website is responsive. I've been looking for an open source project or code to just run the website in an app or open up their default browser to direct them to it. They just want the button.
Is there an open source project to make it easy to develop that code for iOS, Android, etc.
Are there any issues with running a website natively? Aka, same as cross-browser issues or..?
Thanks!
There is Apache-Cordova at this link. It is multi-platform and free/opensource.
In Android, you can use WebView.
Android WebView is a system component powered by Chrome that allows Android apps to display web content.
For more information about Android WebView, please visit the documentation
I am a .NET guy, so I am developing apps for WP7.
On Windows marketplace, they do not approve applications if it only opens a
WebBrowser control and a mobile website in it. You have to write main functionality with Silverlight, C# and XAML.
For android I just want to use m.myapplication.com in a WebView control,
so as soon as you will open app it will show that url to you.
Will this application be OK for android market? Or will they require me to write
java code to fill the content?
P.S: I also wonder is there any basic android template that I can take for eclipse, and fill url for my mobile website, and it will run on my phone?
There is no "review" process for any apps that get uploaded to the market (other than checking to see that they are signed with a valid release key)
So yes you will be allowed to upload your app to the market. Even if it is just a webview pointing to a mobile site.
I know of no such template, but that doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. if you search around online for things like "Android WebView example" and have worked your way through the Hello World tutorial you should be able to implement your webview without too much hassle.
I just wanted to know if someone can explain why is this happening to me.
I am developing a mobile app using phonegap and jquerymobile and one of the features of the app is to guide the user using a navigation tool.
For iOS we have choose Waze. It is really easy to add it:
<a href=" waze://q=Adress">
and it works! It works if we run the app using safari or even if we build a native app using phonegap.
The problem comes when using Android. For android we are using Google Navigation. The code we are using is:
<a href="google.navigation:q=Adress">
It is working ok, but only if we build a native app with our htlm code using phonegap but it is not working if we run the app on Android Web Browser.
We dont want the user to install the app to use this feature...
The question is: Why? Why the html code is working ok inside a webview on a native app but it is not working on Android Browser?
I just had the same issue and used the geo URI and it is working:
Wikimedia Headquarters
for a more detailed explanation see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI#Example
The href above will open navigation apps, such as waze on Android (just tested it on the Galaxy S4 with Waze and it is working - it also opens up the Google Maps/Navigation app, which is now a combined app).
Hope this helps! :)
is it possible to programmatically access the website that is currently displayed within the Android browser?
As far as I know the native Browser doesn't handle plugins (please correct me if I'm wrong), so I thought that reading the browser cache would be an option.
Is there a more sophisticated way to get the currently displayed HTML?
Thanks in advance!

That would be a security violation, so, no. Also bear in mind that there are several Web browsers for Android.

The standard browser app supports plugins, but not ones downloaded on the fly. So, for example, it supports the Flash plugin (on Android 2.2+), but you have to install Flash separately first.
