android: delete history after homepage load - android

hey, an android noob needs help here.
i'm trying to get my webview browser to delete the browser history after the homepage has been loaded (so the next user that comes around this public app doesn't see the previous session)
i've made a webview client and put a
public void onPageFinished(WebView webView, String Url ) {
Browser.clearHistory();
but don't know how to change the String Url to the url of the apps homepage.
I also tried adding a second function to my homebutton onclicklistener, but no luck as well, if someone wants to help i can paste that bit of code as well.
thanks


Here how I did;
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
junc.pg.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
if(url.indexOf("a_string_unique_to_your_homepage")!=-1) {
view.clearHistory();
}
}
Here, you can define a unique string for your url. For example if your homepage url is
www.example.com
you can call it with
www.example.com?12345abc
and search for this unique number 12345abc.
It works, I have tested several times.


Sorry Matt you can´t delete your Browser history programatically in Android.
you will achieve that manually
Browser ..> Settings > Clear History > OK


What about?
Browser.clearHistory(getContentResolver());
Browser.clearSearches(getContentResolver());

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

Getting SLL certification information on Android webview

Update URL according to the link clicked in webview in android

When I type the url in the text box and click on the Go button the webview loads the required page but when I click on any link inside the webview the address bar which is the text box is not updated with the exact url? How do I go about doing this?
I am trying all varies ways on google not getting the solution - probably key words are wrong. :( - Help on this would be great.
Thanks!

You need to Override onPageFinished method
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
urlEditText.setText(url, TextView.BufferType.NORMAL);
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
}

Keeping a webView contained in 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.
