using javascript in android webview
android, javascript, webview
Solution
You have to first register the JavaScriptInterface on your webview. JavaScriptInterFace can be a inner class as shown below. This class will have a function that you can call from html page( via javaScript ) and inside this function you can write code to change activity.
Here is the working solution for you:
public class JavascriptInterfaceActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
WebView wv;
JavaScriptInterface JSInterface;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
wv = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
// register class containing methods to be exposed to JavaScript
JSInterface = new JavaScriptInterface(this);
wv.addJavascriptInterface(JSInterface, "JSInterface");
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/myPage.html");
}
public class JavaScriptInterface {
Context mContext;
/** Instantiate the interface and set the context */
JavaScriptInterface(Context c) {
mContext = c;
}
@android.webkit.JavascriptInterface
public void changeActivity()
{
Intent i = new Intent(JavascriptInterfaceActivity.this, nextActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
}
}
Here is the html page
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function displaymessage()
{
JSInterface.changeActivity();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="displaymessage()" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps...
Problem
I'm trying to start an activity from a javascript interface in my webview. The example shows a toast. How could i call a class instead of a toast? ``` public class JavaScriptInterface { Context mContext; /** Instantiate the interface and set the context */ JavaScriptInterface(Context c) { mContext = c; } /** Show a toast from the web page */ public void showToast(String toast) { Toast.makeText(mContext, toast, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } ``` this for the html page. ``` <input type="button" value="Say hello" onClick="showAndroidToast('Hello Android!')" /> <script type="text/javascript"> function showAndroidToast(toast) { Android.showToast(toast); } ```
