I am experimenting with the loopj package. I am trying to make a HTTP request to a website and display the website in the webview.
I am successfully getting a result back, however the web view does not display the page as desired, instead chrome opens up and displays the page.
Am I missing something or is there a way I can override this unwanted behaviour?
Below is my oncreate method where I am making the request:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button connectBtn;
TextView status;
WebView display;
String url = "http://www.google.com";
AsyncHttpClient client;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
status = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.statusbox);
connectBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.connectBtn);
display = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
connectBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.get(url, new AsyncHttpResponseHandler(){
@Override
public void onSuccess(String response) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Success!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
display.loadUrl(url);
}
});
}
});
}
setWebViewClient
to your WebView
and override shouldOverrideUrlLoading()
now write view.loadUrl(url);
in that method.
Just add this code,
display.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}});
