web app gives out blank screen on installing and opening? - android

I'm a rookie at android, trying to make webapp, by following a tutorial.
However, when installed a signed apk, after opening it gives a blank page. have no idea what went wrong.
My edited pages are:

}
}
All i did was follow that tutorial, as i mentioned, it gives a blank page on running the signed APK.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

I think you should loadUrl after all.
because settings/configs must apply before loading page.

How to prevent webview from reloading on rotate

I'm trying to implement a webview that on rotate maintains the current page and page data. I have dynamic content being loaded to the client, and they have to start all over if the screen rotates and reloads the page.
I've followed other stackoverflow questions (mostly this one: Android - Preventing WebView reload on Rotate), but I'm not having any luck.
I override onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState saving and restoring web_view, but it's not working for me. I also check if savedInstanceState is null or not and when it is I load a url.
Here are the files to my project:

Try this in your webview settings
web_settings.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
also you need to Save the state of the web view when the screen is rotated.
#Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
m_webview.saveState(outState);
}
and then reload the old WebView content before you call for web_settings
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
m_webview.restoreState(savedInstanceState);
}

Im new to android development and am having trouble understanding the error messages. HELP!
If I'm doing anything else wrong, I would love that feedback too :)
EDIT
I moved the swipe refresh layout code to
layout/main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/swipe_container"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
I had to change
mWebView = new WebView(this);
to
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
And I had to add the following between the SwipeRefreshLayout xml in the main.xml file.
<WebView android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/webView"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"/>
I have set SwipeRefreshLayout refresh listener into onResume. It worked for me.

it seems to be a well know "issue". The "fix" would be to override WebViewClient.onReceivedSslError, and use handler.proceed()

Android WebView shows black screen

I'm trying this example for the Android WebView:
http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/android/devguide/guide/tutorials/views/hello-webview.html
but I don't get what I want, here are my files:
MainActivity.java:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private WebView webview;
/**
* Called when the activity is first created.
*/
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebClient());
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
private class WebClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
}
main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.sheya"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application android:label="#string/app_name" android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher">

android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
The fact is, when I launch my application, it shows a black screen, but if I remove the
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebClient());
line from application code, it opens the google page into the default browser...
-- EDIT --
Solved it, in the main.xml layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" <!-- Instead of wrap_content -->
android:layout_height="fill_parent" <!-- Instead of wrap_content -->
android:orientation="vertical">
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
How about if you try this
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
}

Android WebView Screen Goes black during load the next or same page

We made an android application for samsung galaxy tab using webview but when we hit the same page or a different page in between we got a black screen for 4-5 seconds after that screen shows the page.
So please tell me what we do for this i don't want that black screen.
Kindly find the below code for the same.
