how to get html content from a webview?
Which is the simplest method to get html code from a webview? I have tried several methods from stackoverflow and google, but can't find an exact method. Please mention an exact way.
public class htmldecoder extends Activity implements OnClickListener,TextWatcher
{
TextView txturl;
Button btgo;
WebView wvbrowser;
TextView txtcode;
ImageButton btcode;
LinearLayout llayout;
int flagbtcode;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.htmldecoder);
txturl=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.txturl);
btgo=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btgo);
btgo.setOnClickListener(this);
wvbrowser=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.wvbrowser);
wvbrowser.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
wvbrowser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wvbrowser.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
wvbrowser.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
wvbrowser.addJavascriptInterface(new MyJavaScriptInterface(),"HTMLOUT");
//wvbrowser.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
wvbrowser.loadUrl("javascript:window.HTMLOUT.showHTML('<html>'+document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML+'</html>');");
txtcode=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtcode);
txtcode.addTextChangedListener(this);
btcode=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.btcode);
btcode.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v)
{
if(btgo==v)
{
String url=txturl.getText().toString();
if(!txturl.getText().toString().contains("http://"))
{
url="http://"+url;
}
wvbrowser.loadUrl(url);
//wvbrowser.loadData("<html><head></head><body><div style='width:100px;height:100px;border:1px red solid;'></div></body></html>","text/html","utf-8");
}
else if(btcode==v)
{
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params1=wvbrowser.getLayoutParams();
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params2=txtcode.getLayoutParams();
if(flagbtcode==1)
{
params1.height=200;
params2.height=220;
flagbtcode=0;
//txtcode.setText(wvbrowser.getContentDescription());
}
else
{
params1.height=420;
params2.height=0;
flagbtcode=1;
}
wvbrowser.setLayoutParams(params1);
txtcode.setLayoutParams(params2);
}
}
public class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
/*@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url)
{
// This call inject JavaScript into the page which just finished loading.
wvbrowser.loadUrl("javascript:window.HTMLOUT.processHTML('<head>'+document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML+'</head>');");
}*/
}
class MyJavaScriptInterface
{
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public void showHTML(String html)
{
txtcode.setText(html);
}
}
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
wvbrowser.loadData("<html><div"+txtcode.getText().toString()+"></div></html>","text/html","utf-8");
}
}
Answer
Actually this question has many answers. Here are 2 of them :
- This first is almost the same as yours, I guess we got it from the same tutorial.
public class TestActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
final WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.browser);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.addJavascriptInterface(new MyJavaScriptInterface(this), "HtmlViewer");
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
webview.loadUrl("javascript:window.HtmlViewer.showHTML" +
"('<html>'+document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML+'</html>');");
}
});
webview.loadUrl("http://android-in-action.com/index.php?post/" +
"Common-errors-and-bugs-and-how-to-solve-avoid-them");
}
class MyJavaScriptInterface {
private Context ctx;
MyJavaScriptInterface(Context ctx) {
this.ctx = ctx;
}
public void showHTML(String html) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(ctx).setTitle("HTML").setMessage(html)
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null).setCancelable(false).create().show();
}
}
}
This way your grab the html through javascript. Not the prettiest way but when you have your javascript interface, you can add other methods to tinker it.
- An other way is using an HttpClient like there.
The option you choose also depends, I think, on what you intend to do with the retrieved html...
