Question

I am trying to use a ListView to open different files based on what I select using only one WebView.

I have the intents set up:

protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
  switch (position) {
  case '0' :
    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), tabViewerClass.class);
    startActivity(i);
  }
}

And in the tabViewerClass I have this:

WebView tabViewing = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
tabViewing.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/twentyseven.html");

the second line tabViewing.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/twentyseven.html"); I want to be called when I select case 0, but if I select a different option I want it to call another file in my WebView.

Something like this:

case '0' :
    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), tabViewerClass.class);
    startActivity(i);
    load whatever file
case '1' :
    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), tabViewerClass.class);
    startActivity(i);
    load a different file in the webview
case '2' :
    Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), tabViewerClass.class);
    startActivity(i);
    load a different file in webview

load whatever file doing the equivalent of tabViewing.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/twentyseven.html");

You can pass filename as extra inside your intent:

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), tabViewerClass.class);
i.putExtra("filename", "file:///android_asset/twentyseven.html");
startActivity(i);

and inside tabViewerClass:

String filename = getIntent().getStringExtra("filename");
WebView tabViewing = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
tabViewing.loadUrl(filename);
