Question

A search api is returning me some meta data i.e a url “eventURL” and trackbackurl i.e “trackBack”. I am placing the data in the listview, each row containing some data and a unique url and trackback url.When user taps on the row in the listview, a alert dialog is displayed presenting user 2 options. Clicking on option 1 should launch trackback url in a webview while clicking on second opion should launch eventURL in a webview.I have created a WebViewActivity for it,Problem is that my webview is always blank.

Answer 1

You didn’t pass URL to your WebViewActivity. To do that:

• Before calling startActivity(), attach your URL to the intent with setData().
• In onCreate() of WebViewActivity, retrieve the URL with getData(), then load it.

Or search for putExtra(...). You can transfer a number of data with Intent.

— edited —

Example:

To set data:

import android.net.Uri;

//...
Intent intent = new Intent (StayActiveActivity.this, WebViewActivity.class);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("your-url"));
StayActiveActivity.this.startActivity(intent);

To retrieve data:

//...
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    //...
    Uri uri = getIntent().getData();

    //...
    webView.loadUrl(uri.toString());
}
