My webview reloads when bluetooth disconnects or reconnects
android, android-webview, bluetooth, broadcastreceiver
Solution
If the bluetooth device is HID then it is triggering a "keyboard" configuration change event which restarts the activity, similar to orientation changes. Add a configChanges="keyboard|screenSize" to your AndroidManifest.xml. I also have keyboardHidden in there for slideout keyboards, along with orientation since I don't want to reload my page when the device is rotated.
Problem
I have an app that has an issue with bluetooth devices. When i disconnect or reconnect a bluetooth device the app seems to reload or i would say reload webview. It doesn't crash the app because I'm catching the connects and disconnects using the a receiver. Here is the code I'm using and where I'm stuck at. The toast are working and i can't figure out why its refreshing the entire view. ``` public class MyBTReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { if(intent.getAction().equals("android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED")) { Toast.makeText(context, "BT connect", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); }else if(intent.getAction().equals("android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECTED")) { Toast.makeText(context, "BT disconnect", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } } <receiver android:name=".MyBTReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED" /> <action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECTED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> ```
