Display a part of the webpage on the webview android - android

I want to make an app which loads the content from the webpage into webview. I want to show only a particular thing in the entire webview, not the whole content of the webpage.
Here is an example. If I use: http://us.m.yahoo.com/w/search%3B_ylt=A2KL8xs0vUBQMg0AwAkp89w4?submit=oneSearch&.intl=us&.lang=en&.tsrc=yahoo&.sep=fp&p=digital+cameras&x=0&y=0 as the URL for the webview, it loads all the contents of the page on the webview. But I want to remove the banner of the page and show it on the webview of my application.
I have tried using adblocker using CSS tags, but that is not helping me. Please give me some idea for overcoming this problem.
Thanks.

Thank You for the answer Zyber. I have solved it using injection of JavaScript in the code for WebView in android.
final WebView webview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.browser);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url)
{
webview.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { " +
"document.getElementsByTagName('header')[0].style.display="none"; " +
"})()");
}
});
webview.loadUrl("http://code.google.com/android");
This solved my purpose and it is easy to use to.

I got the solution to add this:
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
view.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url)
{
view.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { " +
"var head = document.getElementsByClassName('header')[0].style.display='none'; " +
"var head = document.getElementsByClassName('blog-sidebar')[0].style.display='none'; " +
"var head = document.getElementsByClassName('footer-container')[0].style.display='none'; " +
"})()");
}
});
view.loadUrl("your url");
Adding (var head =) looks like to hide my class in webview.
I hope this will be helpful for someone.

check Jsoup it provides an library which gives an easy way of extracting Html elements from a webpage
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url.toURI());
HttpResponse resp = client.execute(get);
String content = EntityUtils.toString(resp.getEntity());
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(content);
Elements ele = doc.select("div.classname");
This example executes an Http GET and then extracts an Div element with the class "classname" which you can then load in your webview

How to load only html(not load css,png,ico etc) in android webview?

when I call method (mwebview.load("https://www.google.com")), I want to load only html file. Beacuse of Download Speed
I need only html, not css,png. when download all resources, webview load speed is too slow.
I really want to get only html. How to I achieve this goal?
Using this code you should be able to do that.
WebSettings settings = webview.getSettings();
settings.setBlockNetworkLoads(true);
settings.setBlockNetworkImage(true);
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(false);

loading only a specific element properly in webview

i am trying to load only a specific element in my webview webpage ('contentbody').
but i dont know how to modify my code to load that only. i can block elements in my webview by using this simple javascript.
public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
super.onLoadResource(view, url);
// Removes element which id = 'mastHead'
view.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { "
+ "(elem = document.getElementById('smsform')).parentNode.removeChild(elem); "
+ "})()");
}
An option might be to use Jsoup, to load the HTML page from the website, extract the desired portion of the HTML, and then load just that into your WebView. A small example of how it could be done:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://example.com/").get();
myWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL("http://example.com/", doc.select(".contentbody").first().outerHtml(), "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
With this, you use Jsoup to extract the first item with contentbody class from the HTML, and then directly load it into your WebView.

Get HTML Code from WebSite and remove unnecessary Code - Only display the Table in WebView

I am trying to get my app to sync itself with a website, and display only the table of a website. Example: Normal HTML framework, and the table is inside a div#table, so I did it pretty simple and built the HTML Framework:
String html = "<html> " +
"<head>" +
"</head>" +
"<body style=\"background-color: transparent\">" +
"?body" +
"</body>" +
"</html>";
And then I tried to replace the ?body with the table, but here's my problem: I have no clue how to do that and then load it into a transparent WebView. I found a little bit code online, and tried to get it working for my case, so here's that:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
List<String> links = new ArrayList();
setContentView(SliderCreator.createSlider(R.layout.activity_news, this));
wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.newsWebView);
wv.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
try {
String finalHTML = getIntent().getStringExtra("html");
if (!finalHTML.contains("<html>")) {
String css = "";
for(String link : links) {
css+=Utils.getHTML(link);
}
finalHTML = html.replace("?body", getIntent().getStringExtra("html")).replace("?css", css);
}
wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
//open URLs in external Browser
wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.getContext().startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)));
return true;
}
});
wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("", finalHTML, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
} catch(Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "An error occured...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
But that doesn't work.. Can somebody help me out get that working for me?
(Btw.: I tried it with RegEx, didn't work, I tried it with JSoup, didn't work either...)
try using HTML Agility Pack if not working with RegEx
Please note, your RegEx might not work the desired way if the text contains nested table tags

WebView is not using Cookies for loading images

I have troubles when I want my WebView to load images that requires Cookies.
I have set my cookies on the 'CookieManager'
final android.webkit.CookieManager instance = android.webkit.CookieManager.getInstance();
instance.setAcceptCookie(true);
instance.setCookie(".example.fr", mCookies, new ValueCallback<Boolean>() {
#Override
public void onReceiveValue(final Boolean value) {
loadWebView();
}
});
The WebView is then loaded with a custom HTML string because the app is generating the proper HTML.
private void loadWebView() {
// this string is an example of a generated HTML
String htmlContent =
"<!DOCTYPE html>" +
"<html><head>" +
"<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"css/style.css\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"screen, projection\"/></head>" +
"<body><img src=\"www.example.fr/img.jpg\"/></body></html>";
mWebView.loadDataWithBaseUrl("file:///android_asset/", htmlContent, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
}
I tried to proxy the network calls with Charles Proxy and I noticed that the request to www.example.fr/img.jpg had no cookie set in the headers. But, when I inspect the WebView using Chrome debbuging, I can see that the Cookies are properly under the Resources tab.
It seems that they are not used for the image downloading.
Any hints or advices to make the WebView using Cookies for resource downloading ?
Thank you.
I've faced with same problem, it is related with following changes:
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0-changes.html#BehaviorWebView
to fix it you need set:
CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptThirdPartyCookies(mWebView,true);

how to display a site into android webview without footer and header

Why not use iframe?
Try something like this -
String iframe = "<iframe scrolling=\"no\" src=\"YOUR URL\"" +
"width=\"400px\" height=\"300\"></iframe>";
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); //be sure to enable this or
//page might not load properly
webview.loadDataWithBaseURL("", iframe, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
//loading iframe
You can customize the iframe code according to your needs. Be sure to add \ before every " in your HTML Code.
