Keeping a webView contained in Android? - android

Hey everyone! Im pretty new to Android and I have a webView under 2 other widgets on the screen(Or w/e you call it). But when ever I navigate the webView, its changes to full screen and i cant see my other widgets. Ive looked all over Google but couldn't find anything, is there some way I can fix this?
Im using this code to navigate:
webView.loadUrl("http://www.example.com/");
Thank you.

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
when you do webView.loadUrl("www.example.com") or if there is a redirection when a hyperlink is clicked or something similar, the android device browser is started. I believe you are stuck with this. Try pasting the above code before you call the webView.loadUrl("www.example.com")
What we are essentially doing is asking the webview to load the url, instead of opening it in the device browser.

Is shouldOverrideUrlLoading called for links within the same domain?

I have a hybrid application where I have a WebView which is implementing the shouldOverrideUrlLoading method (both the deprecated and the newest version). This should take over control before loading any external links or certain links within my domain. Without going into specifics, the code looks roughtly like this:
private WebView mWebView;
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new myWebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if(url.isExternal() || url.contains("#specialCase")) {
// Do actions
return true;
}
return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
}
});
I have noticed that all external links work properly, however shouldOverrideUrlLoading is not being called at all when the link is within my domain, so there is no way for me to detect those cases where I want to take over control.
The android documentation states
Give the host application a chance to take over the control when a new
url is about to be loaded in the current WebView.
Does that new mean different domain? Is there anything I am missing or doing wrong? Any ideas on how to detect the user has clicked a link pointing to the same domain?
Thank you in advance.
Finally found the reason why shouldOverrideUrlLoading was never been called.
Apparently the method is only called when the actual loading is about to start. Our web application is a single-page application, hence even though the URL changes, no new page is loaded and shouldOverrideUrlLoading is not called.

Open URL with custom BROWSER

Good day!
Guys, I have a problem and want your help.
Through a WebView, how do I get when clicked by the user, do not open the options of standard browsers (eg chrome and internet). I saw an app by clicking the link to the page opens normally however, as if open in a custom browser. I found it very interesting, and I wonder how this mechanics.
If anyone know how to create an app that perform the same procedure I am grateful.
For better doubt the APP is this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tachanfil.jornaisdobrasil&hl=pt-BR
You have to set up WebViewClient like
this.mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
Then your app will display all links in your WebView instead of opening browser
Perhaps you are missing setting your client as the webview client - Refer to
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html#setWebViewClient%28android.webkit.WebViewClient%29

Multiwindow Apps in Android

I am developing android application to use multiple window in same window.
I am including multiple layouts with multiple purpose. For example one part of window will have browser and one part has to display Facebook or twitter news feed, and one more to display current news which can be get from rss feed.
For the browser I am using WebView in which user can search some thing in browser.
But if I use webview to search something it is opened in android browser.
Is there anyway to display webpages with in Webview and if I search anything It should also be displayed with in web view?
Guide me in right way.
Try this solution .
WebView view =(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
view.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return false;
}
});
Thanks

An alternative to Android's webview

Does anyone knows an alternative to Android's webview component ? For some reasons, it's functionality's are insufficient for me : I need to be able to catch every single request to some url, when i'm browsing a wml page (wap). Anyway, I need to be able to do stuff that Android's webview is not made for.
I thought "hey, let's play with the source code, I'm pretty sure that webviews are using apache.org librairies to access internet".
Oh boy was I mistaken. Webviews use native code, and that's where I'm stuck.
So I was wondering if anyone knew of another web browser view, in pure java, that would be open source and nice. It's not a problem if it's slow, i'm displaying some basic wap pages...
Thanks in advance.
You can extend WebView's functionality by using setWebViewClient & setWebChromeClient.
WebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
WebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {..}
You can handle each and every request sent/received from the WebView by overriding the below methods:
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {..}
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {..}
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {..}
The crosswalk project: https://crosswalk-project.org/ might be what you need. But beware, there are places where it differs from the stock webview. In some ways better, in some ways worse. For example, it supports WebGL (good), but currently the background cannot be transparent (bad). The really good news, it seems to be very actively supported, running it's own Jira to track and fix and Intel seems to be very involved.
Try to see how was Opera Mini programmed.
But I think you must program it if you want another one . But i would be surprised if it has a nice performance.
Try this:
goButton4.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://tory.com/");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);
}
});

How to display a website and a button in one activity?

I'm making an application that contains button's and those buttons control an embedded browser. My problem is that I want to see the button's and the web page in the same layout, but when i click on a button this will open a web page and don't show the button, can anyone help me?
If I understand correctly your problem is that following a link opens the standard browser not your WebView, right ?
Add this to your WebView to change that behavior
// this is to prevent that when clicking a new URL from the displayed
// page the default web browser launches
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
You need to use a Layout that supports more than one child. Take a look here
