Develop Reference

(Xamarin - Android) Call a public method in the Activity class from another class?

I develop an app on Xamarin. I try to hide image when webview page loaded. I try different methods like call public function or access imageview from another class.
I read This but it doesn't work on Xamarin.
So I try something that
[Activity(Label = "XamarinWebView", Theme = "#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar", MainLauncher = true)]
public class MainActivity : Activity
{
WebView app_view = null;
WebSettings app_web_settings = null;
WebChromeClient web_client;
MyWebViewClient my_web_client;
ImageView my_splash = null;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
app_view = FindViewById(Resource.Id.webViewapp) as WebView;
my_web_client = new MyWebViewClient(this.ApplicationContext);
app_view.SetWebViewClient(my_web_client);
string app_url = "file:///android_asset/app_pages/test.html";
app_view.LoadUrl(app_url);
my_splash = FindViewById(Resource.Id.imageSplash) as ImageView;
my_splash.SetImageDrawable(GetDrawable(Resource.Drawable.splash));
}
public void HideSplash()
{
my_splash.Visibility = ViewStates.Gone;
}
}
In this class I can get WebView page loading status.
public class MyWebViewClient : WebViewClient
{
Context context;
public MyWebViewClient(Context _context) {
this.context = _context;
}
public override void OnPageStarted(WebView view, string url, Android.Graphics.Bitmap favicon)
{
base.OnPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
public override void OnPageFinished(WebView view, string url)
{
base.OnPageFinished(view, url);
**I need to change visible my_splash**
}
}

With Jason's advice I try something that and it works.
public class MainActivity : Activity
{
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
.
.
.
my_web_client = new MyWebViewClient(this);
.
.
.
}
public void HideSplash()
{
my_splash.Visibility = ViewStates.Gone;
}
}
public class MyWebViewClient : WebViewClient
{
MainActivity act;
public MyWebViewClient(MainActivity activity)
{
this.act = activity;
}
public override void OnPageFinished(WebView view, string url)
{
base.OnPageFinished(view, url);
act.Hide_Splash();
}
}

A much easier approach to getting the activity from another class, which is also less error-prone and less likely to cause memory leaks would be to get the activity from the view context.
In your MyWebViewClient class:
public override void OnPageFinished(WebView view, string url)
{
base.OnPageFinished(view, url);
(view.Context as MainActivity).HideSplash();
}
Or if you're not sure if the context will always be MainActivity you could use pattern matching which covers the null check:
public override void OnPageFinished(WebView view, string url)
{
base.OnPageFinished(view, url);
if(view.Context is MainActivity mainActivity)
{
mainActivity.HideSplash();
}
}
Using an approach like this is much easier to maintain down the road.

Monodroid WebView Authentication for SSRS webpage

I have made two attempts in trying to access a website with authentication, and I am not sure what is wrong with my attempts. I will list each one. Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work?
This should not be difficult for Java Android programmers to understand, nor should it matter that I am using monodroid EDIT (It DOES matter, because I have a Java implementation below that works just fine)END EDIT.
I am trying to gain access to an SSRS RDL through the WebView and I need to plug in some generic credentials.
ACTIVITY:
public static string username = "...";
public static string password = "...";
public static string website = "http://10.0.0.5/Reports";
private WebView webView;
private void setupWebView(int attempt)
{
webView.Settings.JavaScriptEnabled = true;
webView.Settings.BlockNetworkLoads = false;
switch (attempt)
{
case 1:
{
webView.SetHttpAuthUsernamePassword(website, "", username, password);
}break;
case 2:
{
webView.SetWebViewClient(new AuthenticationClient(this));
}break;
}
webView.LoadUrl(website);
}
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
webView = new WebView(this);
setupWebView(1);//1 or 2 depending on what I am testing
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(webView);
}
}
AuthenticationClient:
//DECLARED IN ANOTHER FILE
[Android.Runtime.Register("android/webkit/WebViewClient", DoNotGenerateAcw = true)]
public class AuthenticationClient:WebViewClient
{
private Context _context;
public AuthenticationClient(Context context)
{
_context = context;
}
public override void OnReceivedError(WebView view, ClientError errorCode, string description, string failingUrl)
{
Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnReceivedError: " + errorCode, ToastLength.Long);
//base.OnReceivedError(view, errorCode, description, failingUrl);
}
public override void OnPageStarted(WebView view, string url, Android.Graphics.Bitmap favicon)
{
Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnPageStarted: " + url, ToastLength.Long);
//base.OnPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, string url)
{
Toast.MakeText(_context, "ShouldOverrideUrlLoading: " + url, ToastLength.Long);
view.LoadUrl(url);
return true;
}
public override void OnReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, string host, string realm)
{
Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnReceivedHttpAuthRequest: " + host, ToastLength.Long);
handler.Proceed(Activity1.username, Activity1.password);
}
}
//END DECLARATION
ATTEMPT 1: It does not even try to load the page. I keep getting an error:
chromium(18710): external/chromium/net/http/http_auth_gssapi_posix.cc:463: [0821/095922:WARNING:http_auth_gssapi_posix.cc(463)] Unable to find a compatible GSSAPI library
ATTEMPT 2: Does not show a single toast message.
I have already looked at:

Using WebView setHttpAuthUsernamePassword?
WebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword() not working?
Passing username and password to SSRS 2005 reports from web application
OTHER STUFF
I have now done it in Java and it works fine. I still need a Mono for Android solution:
public class Android_reporttestActivity extends Activity {
public static String username = "...";
public static String password = "...";
public static String website = "http://10.0.0.5/Reports";
private WebView setupWebView()
{
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
webView.setWebViewClient(
new WebViewClient(){
public void onReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, String host, String realm)
{
handler.proceed(username,password);
}
}
);
return webView;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webview = setupWebView();
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
setContentView(webview);
webview.loadUrl(website);
}

Running the following for me allows everything to work as expected for me:
[Activity (Label = "WebViewExample", MainLauncher = true)]
public class Activity1 : Activity
{
string url;
WebView mWebView;
protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate (bundle);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView (Resource.Layout.Main);
url = "http://awebsite.com";
mWebView = (WebView)FindViewById<WebView> (Resource.Id.webview);
mWebView.SetWebViewClient (new ViewClient (this));
mWebView.Settings.JavaScriptEnabled = (true);
mWebView.Settings.PluginsEnabled = (true);
mWebView.LoadUrl (url);
}
class ViewClient : WebViewClient
{
Activity1 _activity;
public ViewClient(Activity1 activity)
{
_activity = activity;
}
public override void OnPageStarted (WebView view, string url, Android.Graphics.Bitmap favicon)
{
Console.WriteLine ("On Page Started");
}
public override void OnReceivedHttpAuthRequest (WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, string host, string realm)
{
Console.WriteLine ("On received Http auth request");
handler.Proceed("username", "password");
}
public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, string url)
{
Console.WriteLine ("Should Override Url Loading...");
return base.ShouldOverrideUrlLoading (view, url);
}
}
}
The reason why your toasts aren't showing is probably because you're not calling ".Show()" on them so they are never displayed.
If you still can't get it up and running, then providing a URL we can use to hit against would be really useful.
I hope this helps,

How I get page source from WebView?

How I get the web page's source from WebView?
I want to only enter www.google.com in my webview and When I entered this site, I want to get the source for example
String a=........;(source)

I am not sure how far this is going to be helpful. But I have used the below snippet to fetch a small html page's data. I hope it helps you.
Create a class like the one below,
class MyJavaScriptInterface
{
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public void processHTML(final String html)
{
Log.i("processed html",html);
Thread OauthFetcher=new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
String oAuthDetails=null;
oAuthDetails=Html.fromHtml(html).toString();
Log.i("oAuthDetails",oAuthDetails);
}
});OauthFetcher.start();
}
}
Now in your onCreate(),
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.addJavascriptInterface(new MyJavaScriptInterface(), "HTMLOUT");
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, final String url) {
String oAuthUrl=getString("www.google.com");
if(url.contains(oAuthUrl))
{
Log.i("Contains","Auth URL");
twitter_webview.loadUrl("javascript:window.HTMLOUT.processHTML('<html>'+document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML+'</html>');");
}
}
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
progressDialog.show();
}
});
And now what happens is that, when your page finishes loading, the JavaScript class will be called, which would retrieve the page source and store it in a String as your requirement.

And For API 17
import android.webkit.JavascriptInterface;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
final Context myApp = this;
#JavascriptInterface
public void processHTML(String html) {
if (html == null)
return;
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
browser.addJavascriptInterface(this, "HTMLOUT");
browser.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
browser.loadUrl("javascript:window.HTMLOUT.processHTML('<html>'+document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML+'</html>');");
}
});
browser.loadUrl("http://www.google.co.il");
}
}

If your minSdkVersion is 19 or greater you can use the following.
override fun onPageFinished(view: WebView?, url: String?) {
super.onPageFinished(view, url)
view?.evaluateJavascript("""(function() {
return "<html>" + document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML + "</html>";
})()""".trimMargin()) {
console.log(it)
}
}

How to get return value from javascript in WebView of Android?

I want to get a return value from Javascript in Android. I can do it with the iPhone, but I can't with Android. I used loadUrl, but it returned void instead of an object. Can anybody help me?

Same as Keith but shorter answer
webView.addJavascriptInterface(this, "android");
webView.loadUrl("javascript:android.onData(functionThatReturnsSomething)");
And implement the function
#JavascriptInterface
public void onData(String value) {
//.. do something with the data
}
Don't forget to remove the onData from proguard list (if you have enabled proguard)

Here's a hack on how you can accomplish it:
Add this Client to your WebView:
final class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
#Override
public boolean onJsAlert(WebView view, String url, String message, JsResult result) {
Log.d("LogTag", message);
result.confirm();
return true;
}
}
Now in your javascript call do:
webView.loadUrl("javascript:alert(functionThatReturnsSomething)");
Now in the onJsAlert call "message" will contain the returned value.

Use addJavascriptInterface() to add a Java object to the Javascript environment. Have your Javascript call a method on that Java object to supply its "return value".

Here's what I came up with today. It's thread-safe, reasonably efficient, and allows for synchronous Javascript execution from Java for an Android WebView.
Works in Android 2.2 and up. (Requires commons-lang because I need my code snippets passed to eval() as a Javascript string. You could remove this dependency by wrapping the code not in quotation marks, but in function(){})
First, add this to your Javascript file:
function evalJsForAndroid(evalJs_index, jsString) {
var evalJs_result = "";
try {
evalJs_result = ""+eval(jsString);
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
androidInterface.processReturnValue(evalJs_index, evalJs_result);
}
Then, add this to your Android activity:
private Handler handler = new Handler();
private final AtomicInteger evalJsIndex = new AtomicInteger(0);
private final Map<Integer, String> jsReturnValues = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
private final Object jsReturnValueLock = new Object();
private WebView webView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.addJavascriptInterface(new MyJavascriptInterface(this), "androidInterface");
}
public String evalJs(final String js) {
final int index = evalJsIndex.incrementAndGet();
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
webView.loadUrl("javascript:evalJsForAndroid(" + index + ", " +
"\"" + StringEscapeUtils.escapeEcmaScript(js) + "\")");
}
});
return waitForJsReturnValue(index, 10000);
}
private String waitForJsReturnValue(int index, int waitMs) {
long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
while (true) {
long elapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() - start;
if (elapsed > waitMs)
break;
synchronized (jsReturnValueLock) {
String value = jsReturnValues.remove(index);
if (value != null)
return value;
long toWait = waitMs - (System.currentTimeMillis() - start);
if (toWait > 0)
try {
jsReturnValueLock.wait(toWait);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
break;
}
else
break;
}
}
Log.e("MyActivity", "Giving up; waited " + (waitMs/1000) + "sec for return value " + index);
return "";
}
private void processJsReturnValue(int index, String value) {
synchronized (jsReturnValueLock) {
jsReturnValues.put(index, value);
jsReturnValueLock.notifyAll();
}
}
private static class MyJavascriptInterface {
private MyActivity activity;
public MyJavascriptInterface(MyActivity activity) {
this.activity = activity;
}
// this annotation is required in Jelly Bean and later:
#JavascriptInterface
public void processReturnValue(int index, String value) {
activity.processJsReturnValue(index, value);
}
}

On API 19+, the best way to do this is to call evaluateJavascript on your WebView:
webView.evaluateJavascript("foo.bar()", new ValueCallback<String>() {
#Override public void onReceiveValue(String value) {
// value is the result returned by the Javascript as JSON
}
});

The solution that #Felix Khazin suggested works, but there is one key point missing.
The javascript call should be made after the web page in the WebView is loaded. Add this WebViewClient to the WebView, along with the WebChromeClient.
Full Example:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
webView.setWebChromeClient(new MyWebChromeClient());
webView.loadUrl("http://example.com");
}
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public void onPageFinished (WebView view, String url){
view.loadUrl("javascript:alert(functionThatReturnsSomething())");
}
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;
}
}
private class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
#Override
public boolean onJsAlert(WebView view, String url, String message, JsResult result) {
Log.d("LogTag", message);
result.confirm();
return true;
}
}

As an alternative variant that uses a custom scheme to communicate Android native code <-> HTML/JS code. for example MRAID uses this technic[About]
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
}
final WebView webview = new CustomWebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/customPage.html");
webview.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//Android -> JS
webview.loadUrl("javascript:showToast()");
}
}, 1000);
}
}
CustomWebView
public class CustomWebView extends WebView {
public CustomWebView(Context context) {
super(context);
setup();
}
#SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
private void setup() {
setWebViewClient(new AdWebViewClient());
getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
}
private class AdWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if (url.startsWith("customschema://")) {
//parse uri
Toast.makeText(CustomWebView.this.getContext(), "event was received", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
}
customPage.html (located in the assets folded)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript View</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--JS -> Android-->
function showToast() {
window.location = "customschema://goto/";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

You can do it like this:
[Activity(Label = "#string/app_name", Theme = "#style/AppTheme", MainLauncher = true)]
public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity
{
public WebView web_view;
public static TextView textView;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
Window.AddFlags(WindowManagerFlags.Fullscreen);
Window.ClearFlags(WindowManagerFlags.ForceNotFullscreen);
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView (Resource.Layout.main);
web_view = FindViewById<WebView>(Resource.Id.webView);
textView = FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.textView);
web_view.Settings.JavaScriptEnabled = true;
web_view.SetWebViewClient(new SMOSWebViewClient());
web_view.LoadUrl("https://stns.egyptair.com");
}
public override void OnRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, string[] permissions, [GeneratedEnum] Android.Content.PM.Permission[] grantResults)
{
Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
base.OnRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
}
}
public class SMOSWebViewClient : WebViewClient
{
public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, IWebResourceRequest request)
{
view.LoadUrl(request.Url.ToString());
return false;
}
public override void OnPageFinished(WebView view, string url)
{
view.EvaluateJavascript("document.getElementsByClassName('notf')[0].innerHTML;", new JavascriptResult());
}
}
public class JavascriptResult : Java.Lang.Object, IValueCallback
{
public string Result;
public void OnReceiveValue(Java.Lang.Object result)
{
string json = ((Java.Lang.String)result).ToString();
Result = json;
MainActivity.textView.Text = Result.Replace("\"", string.Empty);
}
}

How to listen for a WebView finishing loading a URL?

I have a WebView that is loading a page from the Internet. I want to show a ProgressBar until the loading is complete.
How do I listen for the completion of page loading of a WebView?

Extend WebViewClient and call onPageFinished() as follows:
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// do your stuff here
}
});

#ian this is not 100% accurate. If you have several iframes in a page you will have multiple onPageFinished (and onPageStarted). And if you have several redirects it may also fail. This approach solves (almost) all the problems:
boolean loadingFinished = true;
boolean redirect = false;
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String urlNewString) {
if (!loadingFinished) {
redirect = true;
}
loadingFinished = false;
webView.loadUrl(urlNewString);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url) {
loadingFinished = false;
//SHOW LOADING IF IT ISNT ALREADY VISIBLE
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
if (!redirect) {
loadingFinished = true;
//HIDE LOADING IT HAS FINISHED
} else {
redirect = false;
}
}
});
UPDATE:
According to the documentation:
onPageStarted will NOT be called when the contents of an embedded frame changes, i.e. clicking a link whose target is an iframe.
I found a specific case like that on Twitter where only a pageFinished was called and messed the logic a bit. To solve that I added a scheduled task to remove loading after X seconds. This is not needed in all the other cases.
UPDATE 2:
Now with current Android WebView implementation:
boolean loadingFinished = true;
boolean redirect = false;
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(
WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
if (!loadingFinished) {
redirect = true;
}
loadingFinished = false;
webView.loadUrl(request.getUrl().toString());
return true;
}
#Override
public void onPageStarted(
WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
loadingFinished = false;
//SHOW LOADING IF IT ISNT ALREADY VISIBLE
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
if (!redirect) {
loadingFinished = true;
//HIDE LOADING IT HAS FINISHED
} else {
redirect = false;
}
}
});

I am pretty partial to #NeTeInStEiN (and #polen) solution but would have implemented it with a counter instead of multiple booleans or state watchers (just another flavor but I thought might share). It does have a JS nuance about it but I feel the logic is a little easier to understand.
private void setupWebViewClient() {
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
private int running = 0; // Could be public if you want a timer to check.
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String urlNewString) {
running++;
webView.loadUrl(urlNewString);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
running = Math.max(running, 1); // First request move it to 1.
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
if(--running == 0) { // just "running--;" if you add a timer.
// TODO: finished... if you want to fire a method.
}
}
});
}

I found one elegant solution as well, have not tested it rigorously though:
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
if (webView.getProgress() == 100) {
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
webView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}

If you want show a progress bar you need to listen for a progress change event, not just for the completion of page:
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int newProgress) {
//change your progress bar
}
});
BTW if you want display just an Indeterminate ProgressBar overriding the method onPageFinished is enough

I have simplified NeTeInStEiN's code to be like this:
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
private int webViewPreviousState;
private final int PAGE_STARTED = 0x1;
private final int PAGE_REDIRECTED = 0x2;
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String urlNewString) {
webViewPreviousState = PAGE_REDIRECTED;
mWebView.loadUrl(urlNewString);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
webViewPreviousState = PAGE_STARTED;
if (dialog == null || !dialog.isShowing())
dialog = ProgressDialog.show(WebViewActivity.this, "", getString(R.string.loadingMessege), true, true,
new OnCancelListener() {
#Override
public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
// do something
}
});
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
if (webViewPreviousState == PAGE_STARTED) {
dialog.dismiss();
dialog = null;
}
}
});
It is easy to understand, OnPageFinished if the previous callback is on onPageStarted, so the page is completely loaded.

for Kotlin users:
webView.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {
override fun onPageFinished(view: WebView?, url: String?) {
// do your logic
}
}
there are a lot of methods that you can override though

Use setWebViewClient() and override onPageFinished()

You can trace the Progress Staus by the getProgress method in webview class.
Initialize the progress status
private int mProgressStatus = 0;
then the AsyncTask for loading like this:
private class Task_News_ArticleView extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(
your_class.this);
// can use UI thread here
protected void onPreExecute() {
this.dialog.setMessage("Loading...");
this.dialog.setCancelable(false);
this.dialog.show();
}
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
while (mProgressStatus < 100) {
mProgressStatus = webview.getProgress();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return null;
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
if (this.dialog.isShowing()) {
this.dialog.dismiss();
}
}
}

thanks for the answers. It helped me, but I had to improve it a bit for my needs. I had several pagestarts and finishes so I added a timer which checks if atfer the pagefinish is started a new pagestart. Okay, bad explanation. See the code :)
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
boolean loadingFinished = true;
boolean redirect = false;
long last_page_start;
long now;
// Load the url
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if (!loadingFinished) {
redirect = true;
}
loadingFinished = false;
view.loadUrl(url);
return false;
}
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
Log.i("p","pagestart");
loadingFinished = false;
last_page_start = System.nanoTime();
show_splash();
}
// When finish loading page
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
Log.i("p","pagefinish");
if(!redirect){
loadingFinished = true;
}
//call remove_splash in 500 miSec
if(loadingFinished && !redirect){
now = System.nanoTime();
new android.os.Handler().postDelayed(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
remove_splash();
}
},
500);
} else{
redirect = false;
}
}
private void show_splash() {
if(myWebView.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
myWebView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
myWebView_splash.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
//if a new "page start" was fired dont remove splash screen
private void remove_splash() {
if (last_page_start < now) {
myWebView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
myWebView_splash.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
});

Here's a novel method for detected when a URL has loaded by utilising Android's capability for JavaScript hooks. Using this pattern, we exploit JavaScript's knowledge of the document's state to generate a native method call within the Android runtime. These JavaScript-accessible calls can be made using the #JavaScriptInterface annotation.
This implementation requires that we call setJavaScriptEnabled(true) on the WebView's settings, so it might not be suitable depending on your application's requirements, e.g. security concerns.

res/layout/activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Essentially, we're appending an additional JavaScript function that is used to test the state of the document. If it's loaded, we launch a custom onPageLoaded() event in Android's MainActivity; otherwise, we register an event listener that updates Android once the page is ready, using window.addEventListener('onload', ...);.
Since we're appending this script after the call to this.getWebView().loadURL("") has been made, it's probable that we don't need to 'listen' for the events at all, since we only get a chance to append the JavaScript hook by making a successive call to loadURL, once the page has already been loaded.

Just to show progress bar, "onPageStarted" and "onPageFinished" methods are enough; but if you want to have an "is_loading" flag (along with page redirects, ...), this methods may executed with non-sequencing, like "onPageStarted > onPageStarted > onPageFinished > onPageFinished" queue.
But with my short test (test it yourself.), "onProgressChanged" method values queue is "0-100 > 0-100 > 0-100 > ..."
private boolean is_loading = false;
webView.setWebChromeClient(new MyWebChromeClient(context));
private final class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient{
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int newProgress) {
if (newProgress == 0){
is_loading = true;
} else if (newProgress == 100){
is_loading = false;
}
super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress);
}
}
Also set "is_loading = false" on activity close, if it is a static variable because activity can be finished before page finish.

The renderer will not finish rendering when the OnPageFinshed method is called or the progress reaches 100% so both methods don't guarantee you that the view was completely rendered.
But you can figure out from OnLoadResource method what has been already rendered and what is still rendering. And this method gets called several times.
#Override
public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
super.onLoadResource(view, url);
// Log and see all the urls and know exactly what is being rendered and visible. If you wanna know when the entire page is completely rendered, find the last url from log and check it with if clause and implement your logic there.
if (url.contains("assets/loginpage/img/ui/forms/")) {
// loginpage is rendered and visible now.
// your logic here.
}
}

this will been called before he start loading the page
(and get the same parameters as onFinished())
#Override
public void onPageCommitVisible(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageCommitVisible(view, url);
}

Loading url with SwipeRefreshLayout and ProgressBar:
UrlPageActivity.java:
WebView webView;
SwipeRefreshLayout _swipe_procesbar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_url_page);
String url = "http://stackoverflow.com/";
_swipe_procesbar = (SwipeRefreshLayout)findViewById(R.id.url_path_swipe_procesbar);
_swipe_procesbar.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
_swipe_procesbar.setRefreshing(true);
}
}
);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.url_page_web_view);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
_swipe_procesbar.setRefreshing(false);
_swipe_procesbar.setEnabled(false);
}
});
webView.loadUrl(url);
}
activity_url_page.xml:
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/url_path_swipe_procesbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

Here's a method which allows you to register a Runnable to be executed once a particular web address has finished loading. We associate each Runnable with a corresponding URL String in a Map, and we use the WebView's getOriginalUrl() method to choose the appropriate callback.

Use this it should help.`var currentUrl = "google.com"
var partOfUrl = currentUrl.substring(0, currentUrl.length-2)
webView.setWebViewClient(object: WebViewClient() {
override fun onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
//call loadUrl() method here
// also check if url contains partOfUrl, if not load it differently.
if(url.contains(partOfUrl, true)) {
//it should work if you reach inside this if scope.
} else if(!(currentUrl.startWith("w", true))) {
webView.loadurl("www.$currentUrl")
} else if(!(currentUrl.startWith("h", true))) {
webView.loadurl("https://$currentUrl")
} else { ...}
}
override fun onReceivedSslError(view: WebView?, handler: SslErrorHandler?, error: SslError?) {
// you can call again loadUrl from here too if there is any error.
}
//You should also override other override method for error such as onReceiveError to see how all these methods are called one after another and how they behave while debugging with break point.

Kotlin solution
First Solution is create webviewclient as private class and it is more efficient.
In the other hand second soltion is sorter :)
First Solution
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
val webView : WebView = findViewById(R.id.webView)
webView.webViewClient = MyWebViewClient()
}
private class MyWebViewClient : WebViewClient() {
override fun onPageStarted(view: WebView?, url: String?, favicon: Bitmap?) {
println("Load Started")
}
override fun onPageFinished(view: WebView, url: String) {
println("Load Finished")
}
}
}
Second Solution
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
val webView : WebView = findViewById(R.id.webView)
webView.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {
override fun onPageStarted(view: WebView?, url: String?, favicon: Bitmap?) {
println("Load Started")
}
override fun onPageFinished(view: WebView, url: String) {
println("Load Finished")
}
}
}
Both solution actually same. So onPageStarted function run when page started to load in the other hang onPageFinished function works when page loaded entirely. You may want to write your as an example loadFinishedRun() function inside onPageFinished funtion.
Better late than never
