Question

I’m trying to implement a splash screen for my webview android app, so that it will display until the page is fully loaded. I was using the code from the accepted answer here but am running into some errors that I’m not sure how to solve. I assume that I’m missing a library of some sort, but I have no idea what.

The errors I’m getting are:

View cannot be resolved to a variable

error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at ‘src’ with value @drawable/vert_loading’)

The code where I’m getting the view errors is:

webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
    webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            findViewById(R.id.imageLoading1).setVisibility(View.GONE);
            findViewById(R.id.webview).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
    });

While my layout xml file is:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageLoading1"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:visibility="visible"
    android:src="@drawable/vert_loading"
/>

My assumption is that I might be missing an import of some sort, but I wouldn’t know which one. The ones I have are:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Add an drawable folder in your project res from File->New->Folder and put your drawable vert_loading in res->drawable folder. then Clean your project from Project->Clean.
