Question

I am having hard time running webview using my application as it crashes the app right way.

Java

package com.unext.unextlibrary;

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.JavascriptInterface;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;


  @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
   public class InitializeVideo extends Activity {

WebView mWebview;

@Override
@JavascriptInterface
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_play);

    getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
    mWebview  = new WebView(this);

    mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enable javascript

    final Activity activity = this;

    mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
            Toast.makeText(activity, description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

    mWebview .loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
    setContentView(mWebview );
}
}

XML CODE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#000000"
android:orientation="vertical" >

 <android.webkit.WebView android:id="@+id/WebView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</android.webkit.WebView>

</LinearLayout>

Inside my manifest i am targeting sdk version as 17

Manifest goes here

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="14"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

 <activity
        android:theme="@style/Theme.Video"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
        android:name="com.unext.unextlibrary.InitializeVideo"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
     </activity> 

Also my logcat output shows as follow

Answer 1

Try this way,

public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_play);

its because, requestFeature() must be called before calling setContentView();
