Question

I am implementing a webview. I want two buttons on the top of the web page.

I have one vertical linear layout, inside of which is one horizontal layout with two buttons, and one webview outside of the horizontal layout.

I am simply loading the Google URL in Java code.

Every time I run the application, it opens a new browser on top of the application and the buttons get hidden. It’s not showing the buttons above the webview.
Please help and tell me how can I load a URL in the webview without opening another browser, or how I can prevent it by opening a native browser, so that the page is loaded in the webview itself and not a new browser.

Thanks all

The layout should something similar to this:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                 android:orientation="vertical">
        <LinearLayout
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <Button android:id="@+id/button1"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"                
                android:layout_gravity="top"
                android:layout_weight="1"/>
            <Button android:id="@+id/button2"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"                
                android:layout_gravity="top"
                android:layout_weight="1" />
        </LinearLayout>
        <WebView 
            android:id="@+id/webview"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
