How to make an app WebView in android (with source code)

Step1:­ Create new project in Android Studio.

What is WebView?

WebView is a view that dispaly web page inside your application. You can also specify HTML
string and can show it inside your application using WebView.

Step 2:­ You must add the internet permissions to your AndroidManifest file.

step 3:­ Adding a WebView to your Application.

[code lang=”js”]
<WebView> element to your xml layout file.

Ex:­<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf­8"?>

<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:id="@+id/webview"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

/>
[/code]

Step 4:­ Accessing the WebView from code.

Step 5:­ Loading the url into the WebView.

[code lang=”js”]
Load Web page in the WebView,use loadurl().
EX:­WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.example.com");
[/code]

Step:6­ Enabling JavaScript in the WebVIew.

By default the Android WebView component has JavaScript disabled. You can enable through the WebSetting attached to your WebView.

[code lang=”js”]
Ex:­WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();

webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

setMinimumFontSize(int size):­ Set the minimum font size. The default is 8.

webSettings.setMinimumFontSize(10);

setMediaPlaybackRequiresGesture(boolean require):­ Set whether the WebView requires a user

gesture to play media. The default is true.

webSettings. setMediaPlaybackRequiresGesture();

setTextZoom(int textZoom):­ Set the text zoom of the page in percent. The default is 100.

webSettins.setTextZoom(150);
[/code]

Step:7­ Handling Page Navigation.

When the user click a link in the web page loaded into the WebView.the default behaviour is to load that URL of the link in the system Android browser.

[code lang=”js”]
To open links clicked by the user, simply provide a WebViewClient for your WebView, using

setWebViewClient().

Ex:­WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

@Override

public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String url) {

return false;

}

}
[/code]
