I use webview to load local html data like this
webview.loadDataWithBaseURL("about:blank", finalSrc, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
the finalSrc is a variable of html string.
sometimes, the webview can display the corrent content,but sometimes not.
and I found that if I clear the cache of my app, the webview works well again.
so what's wrong with my app?
rather than using BaseUrl why don't use loadData. for example
webview.loadData(finalSrc, "text/html", "UTF-8");
I have a web site that I stored locally into myProject/assets . I want to create a WebView to show it.
I use this code:
myWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", htmlContent, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
Where htmlContent is a string and it is correctly loaded from the local files.
Unfortunately, the site has absolute links: they all start with a "/" and when such a link is clicked by the user, I get this error in the WebView:
file:///linkedpage.html not found
So, as the documentation says, only relative links and not absolute links are preceded by the BaseURL. Indeed, if I remove the initial "/" from the links, it works.
This can be an error of how the site was written or not, but I'm not the writer of it and I cannot change it (and anyway it makes sense, because the html links are actually in the root of the site, so it's not wrong to call them with a "/".)
How can I manage this? Is there a way to intercept clicks on the links and modify their url, for example? Or can I effectly teach the WebView that "file:///android-asset/" is really the root of the site, and not "file:///", apache-style? Or is there another cleaner solution (besides changing the html file, that I don't want to do)
I have the URL of a webpage to be displayed into a webview in my Android app. Before showing this page i want to clear the html code of this page from some tag (such as the header, footer, ecc..) in order to show only few information. How can i do it? I tried to solve the issue working with JSoup but i can't understand how to create and pass the "new page" to the webview. Anybody can help me?
EDIT
I cleaned the html code useless through jsoup libraries. Then, always by mean of these, i get head and body content and finally i showing the "cleared" web page through these lines:
headURL = doc.select("head").outerHtml();
bodyURL = doc.select("body").outerHtml();
webview.loadData( "<html>"+headURL+bodyURL+"</html>" , "text/html", "charset=UTF-8");
webview.setWebViewClient(new DisPlayWebPageActivityClient());
The view shows the new page but do not load css files specified in the head(that has not been touched). Who can say me why?
You can fetch the WebPage you want to display as a string, parse and remove whatever you don't want and then load this string as data in your webview.
Something like:
String webContent = fetchPage(url);
String cleanedWebContent = cleanUp(webContent);
webView.loadData(cleanedWebContent, "text/html", "UTF-8");
Of course, you will need to implement fetchPage and cleanUp as they are not Android methods
I've tried putting Google's +1 button in WebView using the methods they describe. I've initialized the WebView as follows:
final WebView web = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.getSettings().setSavePassword(false);
web.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
web.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
web.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
web.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
web.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
web.setBackgroundColor(0xff2e2e2e);
web.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, htmlCodeGoesHere, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
And the html code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
<g:plusone href="http://stackoverflow.com"></g:plusone>
The problem is... the button doesn't display at all.
How do I fix it? By the way - I also want the button to launch a new window instead using the WebView. Is there a simple solution?
Thanks
The problem lies in permissions system in WebView. Scripts in local files have problems accessing external resources. The solution is to make WebView think local code was loaded from external website.
web.loadDataWithBaseURL("http://fake.com", htmlCodeGoesHere, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
The button will appear, but unfortunetely it doesn't work well in WebView.
I am not too experienced with WebView, but the fact the the button doesn't show up at all, sounds like it could be an issue in your layout/main.xml file. Have you taken a look at this yet?
Also, for the button to launch a new window, I think it is possible to attach an setOnClickListener, once that is done just treat it as a button, and open a new window. I hope that is possible.
I'm playing with http://www.siegmann.nl/epublib on Android. Can someone please explain the right way to
read epub HTML content,
how to show this on Android (using WebView?),
how to split content into pages and
how to search the content.
Thx 10x.
Answers #2:
Extract epub on file system /mnt/sdcard/epub/
Loading values in webview
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.epub_reader);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
Book book = (new EpubReader()).readEpub(new FileInputStream(filename);
String baseUrl="file://mnt/sdcard/epub/OEBPS/"
String data = new String(book.getContents().get(2).getData());
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(baseUrl, data, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
}
Regarding your questions:
How to read epub HTML content
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want all the content? Or something specific?
All the content can be retrieved using Book.getContent().
how to show this on Android (using WebView?),
I would use WebView for this. Haven't tried that myself though.
how to split content into pages
This I don't know what would work best.
how to search the content.
The nl.siegmann.epublib.search package in epublib-tools has code for a simple search functionality.
