Auto login on web page

I am trying to write an app I want it to open a web page and auto login I am not sure how to go about sending the info to the browser from the app code.

So basically you are going to need to load in the webpage within a WebView (You can find instructions for that here and then probably push javascript into the WebView that will fill in the fields and load the page.
In your activity's onCreate:
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
#Override
public boolean onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// Check here if url is equal to your site URL.
}
});
webview.loadUrl("http://yourwebsite.com/");
This line enables javascript in your WebView:
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
Then you can use the WebViewClient to detect when the page you want has fully loaded. When that happens, you can use:
webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.getElementsByName('username').value = 'username'");
webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.getElementsByName('password').value = 'password'");
webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.forms['login'].submit()");
And it should automatically log you in. It's worth noting that this generally isn't easy to do on a lot of sites since they will randomize the login control ids and it also doesn't generally sit well with users if an application is logging into a website automatically for them.

Android webview image fullscreen on click

I am working on a developing an Android application that displays news articles from a database through JSON. The article is in HTML format because the database is used for both web and the app. The code I have (below) works great. The format is the same on both web and phone when displayed in a webview, but I would like the images to be clickable, so they can can be loaded in a separate activity, and the user can zoom and such.
I guess I am just not using the proper wording when looking for an answer, because I cannot find anything that relates to this. I am assuming I would have to find the tags on click and capture the url somehow, and then pass it to another activity. I am not sure if this is the best way to do this or not. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.WebView01);
final String mimeType = "text/html";
final String encoding = "UTF-8";
web.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
web.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
web.getSettings().setLayoutAlgorithm(LayoutAlgorithm.SINGLE_COLUMN);
web.loadDataWithBaseURL("", product.getString(TAG_CONTENT), mimeType, encoding, "");
This code runs within a Async task that queries the database for info.

Since it is HTML, you can use the onclick attribute of the img tag
<img src="myimage.png" onclick="javascript:window.location=this.src;" />
This will open the image up as the current window.
Or you can do something similar to this answer and send the URL to another activity.

Android: web view inside activity doesn't run locally stored web app properly

I'm dealing with the following problem:
I have a webview inside an activity:
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setDatabaseEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);
webView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
System.out.println("percorso" + path.toString());
url.setText(path.toString());
webView.loadUrl("local path of my html file" .....\..\..page.htm);
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
This is the app I'd like to run locally offline: http://miniapps.co.uk/checklist/
If I open the browser and i go to the link above everything works fine, so the android browser is actually able to run it.
Now I have downloaded this app and I stored it in a folder on my sd card: download/myapp
in the folder I have the html file: check_list.htm and a folder (check_list files) with the javascript files needed to run it.
But when i open it inside my webview, the page is correcty loaded but doesn't work...i can't click on buttons and other elements, i can't actually interact with it....
I thought it could be a problem related to my webview settings so i used astro file manager to surf into my sd card, i clicked on check_list.htm, i chose html viewer and i got the same issues....
So I downloaded opera mobile, and i did the same but this time I opened it with opera and now it's working correctly.
Do you know why? How can I fix the problem? Am I missing some settings on my webview or is the webview\android broser that hase some problems opening locally stored html pages and running linked javascript files?
EDIT
If I open the android browser and I write the path of the HTML file, it works. I have to do it manually cause if I click on the HTML file, android browser it's not an option......so in the end it works both on android browser and opera, and it doesn't with HTML viewer and my web view.....so I'm missing some settings cause the web view should have the same features of the android browser....shouldn't it?

If "doesn't run" mean it does not open new windows, that's because you need to specify the webview client.
From the Javadoc for WebView
By default, requests by the HTML to open new windows are ignored. This is true whether they be opened by JavaScript or by the target attribute on a link. You can customize your WebChromeClient to provide your own behaviour for opening multiple windows, and render them in whatever manner you want.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/3847016/94363 or rtfm...

Please confirm before, your local file is inside asset/www/index.html directory.

Android webview url redirect

I have a webview in my application which upon launch displays an html page. The page has a hyperlink which on click is supposed to display a video.
When i run the application and click on the video hyperlink link , nothing happens. But if i load the same page in android browser, then it launches a default video player and everything works fine.
I debugged it furthers by putting a log statement in shouldOverrideUrlLoading method and noticed that, when the hyperlink is clicked it gets redirected to another link and then to another link (final video streaming url).
My question is : why would the link work perfectly in default android browser and not through a webview.
Thanks

What is happening is when you click the hyperlink, that link probably has some popups inside of it. You need to define the onCreateWindow function in your webview's WebChromeClient. This handles how calls to open new windows or popups are handled.
public boolean onCreateWindow (WebView view, boolean dialog, boolean userGesture, Message resultMsg) {
((WebView.WebViewTransport) resultMsg.obj).setWebView(myWebView);
resultMsg.sendToTarget();
return true;
}

After declaring your WebView you should set javascript enabled, then your WebView will work as a browser.
For example:
WebView mwebview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(mwebview);
mwebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
or
mwebview.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON); // this is for newer API's

Basically, do not expect your embedded WebView works the same as Android default Browser. The default Browser is built on the same WebView, but there are lots a customization. (Especially around the no-standard uri, HTML5 stuff)
I followed code from here: WebView and HTML5 <video>, and I put the video link to a video tag, and I got the Video playing in my own version of WebView. The behavior is a little different from the default Browser. Given more time, we could figure that out by looking at its code, but anyways ...
