Send data to page loaded in WebView

android, http-post, post, webview

Solution

There's a method called `postUrl` in `WebView`.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    WebView webView = new WebView(this);
    setContentView(webView);

    String url = "http://mysite.com/somepage.php";
    String postData = "postvar=value";

    webView.postUrl(url, EncodingUtils.getBytes(postData, "base64"));
}

If `base64` didn't work, try `BASE64` alternatively.

Hope it will works fine.

Problem

I have a WebView in my app and I load http://mysite.com/somepage.php I know I can pass data using the GET method because that would just be right in the URL string. I was wondering how I could pass data to the page using the POST method. I tried searching but I cannot find anything specific. Thanks.
