Question

I’m using Android, and I’ve created a Webview which nicely opens my HTML page (page “A”).

Now, I want to follow some links I have on page “A”, which go to page “B”.

If I click on a linkl defined with
<a href="page_b.html"> everything is fine, and the Webview behaves just like a normal browser, goinmg to the selected page.

But if I click a link defined as <a href="page_b.html?param=x"> all I get is a “Web page not found”.

The same if I use an anchor like <a href="page_b.html#2">.

How can I pass parameters between different HTML pages within the same Webview?

EDIT:

Nevermind, I managed to pass the parameter I needed using localStorage.

Of course, after a gazillion dry runs, I discovered I had to enable it in the WebView with settings.setDomStorageEnabled(true) 😀

In the end, I discovered I had to set settings.setDomStorageEnabled(true) in the WebView, and the easiest solution for my problem I found was:

In “Page A.html”, I intercept the onClick event of the links, and use localStorage to store the id:

$(".link").each(
    function()
    {
        divId=+$(this).attr('id');
        $('#'+divId).click(function(e)
        {
            localStorage.my_id=divId;
        });
    });

In “Page B.html”, I retrieve the stored id:

$(document).ready(
function()
{
    divId=localStorage.my_id;
    isReady();
});
