In this tutorial we will create a simple webView. WebView will act as an embedded browser to include the web pages content in our activity layout and it won’t contain any features of normal browsers, such as address bar, navigation controls, etc.
Step 1: Create a new project OR Open your project
Step 2: Code
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
MainActivity.java
package com.jigopost.webview;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class WebViewActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private WebView webView;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);
webView.loadUrl("https://www.jigopost.com");
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewController());
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && this.webView.canGoBack()) {
this.webView.goBack();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
add new class WebViewController
package com.jigopst.webview;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class WebViewController extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
our application must have an access to the internet. We need to set internet access permissions like as shown below.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
add this line in webview to enable java script support
getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jigopost.webview">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
