Force webview to open urls inside application - android app - android

How to force WebView to open all the urls inside the application?


You need to override the WebViewClient for your WebView.
See here for the details: it's pretty straight forward.
Notice Step 6 in particular.
To open links clicked by the user, simply provide a WebViewClient for
your WebView, using setWebViewClient(). For example:
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
That's it. Now all links the user clicks load in your WebView.

Android Webview doesn't load

I have a problem with Android Web view.
The slider work fine with Apple but doesn't load on Android WebView.
Can anyone help? www.pgc-usa.net/ivynails
Thanks

I think I know. Web views in Android by default do not have JavaScript enabled. This is because there is someway it can do harm to the app. To enable it though it takes two lines
WebSettings webSettings = yourWebview.getSettings();
yourWebview.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
You can also set it so that links that are clicked open in the web view. ( Otherwise they open in browser.) to add this you just add
yourWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
All that together will make it come to this:
WebView yourWebview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.myWebview);
yourWebview.loadUrl("http://www.pgc-usa.net/ivynails");
WebSettings webSettings = yourWebviewgetSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
yourWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

how to fetch a page link and get open it inside phone browser, on user click (Android)

i wonder how to get address of a page inside of a web view on user click, and take that address and open it inside phone browser. for example let's say i open google inside a web view and when i click on one of the links from search then i want to fetch that link and get open it inside phone browser. the code for the web view is as follows:
myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
myWebView .getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView .getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
myWebView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
myWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com/");

you can inject javascript that will find the link and call function from your java activity with android java bridge like How to call javascript from Android?

Web mobile app opening in browser but not in webview

I have problem using webview. When I am opening web mobile url in android browser it is opening perfectly but when i am using webView it is not rendering any view and stuck displaying a progress bar.
I am using below code:
myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.ctn_webview);
WebSettings webSetting = myWebView.getSettings();
webSetting.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSetting.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webSetting.setAppCacheEnabled(true);
webSetting.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webSetting.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
webSetting.setGeolocationDatabasePath("/data/data/<my-app-pkg>/databases");
webSetting.setGeolocationEnabled(true);
webSetting.setDatabasePath("/data/data/<my-app-pkg>/databases");
webSetting.setDatabaseEnabled(true);
webSetting.setAllowFileAccess(true);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
myWebView.loadUrl(myUrl);
Please note that the page is behind login credential so it redirects to many url in between to reach final page. The login page workes perfectly and after authentication i am redirected to final page where I see a round progress moving (image below). There it should render many buttons and form stuff.
Also when I am opening the same url in the browser in emulator it is working perfectly.
I dont know what I am missing. Please help.

WebView Problem on Youtube site in Android?

the simple answer is to call the youtube app thats loaded on every phone with your webview. check out the code on http://fluxkore.com/index.php/android-apps/ to call the youtube app.....

Enable JavaScript! =)
myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.youtube.com");

It might be a problem with WebViews - WebViews aren't fully fledged browsers, and have limited functionality. For example, the reference page specifically says that WebViews don't handle JavaScripts. If JavaScripts, Flash or something like that is required to properly load YouTube, then that could be why the WebView doesn't handle it properly.

Internal links in WebView

I want to find out when a user clicks an internal link in a url currently opened in webview. How can I do that?
Thanks,
Farha

Try setting WebViewClient for the WebView and the onPageStarted() method will be called when the page loading is started.
Edit:
To be more clear, this may be a sample code:
WebView wview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
WebViewClient wvClient = new WebViewClient();
wview.setWebViewClient(wvClient);
wvClient.onPageStarted(wview, wview.getUrl(), null);
