I'm trying to make an Android version of a relativly simple iOS app that uses a webview, some buttons and then relies on javascript calls to a CMS.
But I'm stuck at a pretty early point of development: The webview doesn't function with javascript.I've read a lot of posts about how to enable JS in an Android webview, but no luck so far.
Below is some of my code:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient()
{
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url)
{
//Calling an init method that tells the website, we're ready
mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:m2Init()");
page1(mWebView);
}
});
mWebView.loadUrl("http://my_url/mobile/iphone//app.php");
}
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {
mWebView.goBack();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
public void page11(View view)
{
mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:m2LoadPage(1)");
}
What am I doing wrong here? The URL is working perfectly in my iOS app, and in a browser. But not in my app!
Please tell me it's something obvious...
FIXED! Spurred on by the error, I found out that I needed to set
setDomStorageEnabled(true)
for the webview settings.
Thanks for your help Stephan :)
