I’m working with Android and Phonegap, and at the moment I’m having trouble with one simple thing. I need to setup a webViewClient to the PhoneGap webView in order to capture the URL of a page finished and to work with that.
This is the code:
public class PhoneGapTest extends DroidGap {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.setBooleanProperty("loadInWebView", true);
super.clearCache();
super.keepRunning = false;
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
super.appView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap bitmap) {
Log.i("TEST", "onPageStarted: " + url);
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
Log.i("TEST", "onPageFinished: " + url);
}
});
}
That code doesn’t seems to work, the page never loads and I get a TIMEOUT ERROR, but if I remove the “setWebViewClient” part the page loads perfectly.
I saw that there is a class CordovaWebViewClient, do I have to use that instead of WebViewClient? I found this way on the web:
this.appView.setWebViewClient(new CordovaWebViewClient(this){
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(final WebView view, String url) {
Log.i("BugTest", "shouldOverrideUrlLoading: " + url);
return true;
}
@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap bitmap) {
Log.i("TEST", "onPageStarted: " + url);
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
Log.i("TEST", "onPageFinished: " + url);
}
@Override
public void doUpdateVisitedHistory(WebView view, String url, boolean isReload){
}
});
But that code isn’t working either, I still got a TIMEOUT ERROR.
I also saw that there is already a webVieClient member, but I don’t if I have to use it and how.
I’m working with Phonegap version 1.9.0
Thanks for reading
Answer to Simon:
It worked this way, thanks!
public class MainActivity extends DroidGap {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.init();
super.appView.clearCache(true);
super.appView.clearHistory();
this.appView.setWebViewClient(new CustomCordovaWebViewClient(this));
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}
public class CustomCordovaWebViewClient extends CordovaWebViewClient {
public CustomCordovaWebViewClient(DroidGap ctx) {
super(ctx);
}
@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap bitmap) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, bitmap);
Log.i("TEST", "onPageStarted: " + url);
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
Log.i("TEST", "onPageFinished: " + url);
}
@Override
public void doUpdateVisitedHistory(WebView view, String url, boolean isReload){
super.doUpdateVisitedHistory(view, url, isReload);
}
@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
super.onReceivedError(view, errorCode, description, failingUrl);
}
}
}
To accomplish what you want to do I would extend the CordovaWebViewClient class and override the methods you want but don’t forget to call the super methods or PhoneGap won’t work without the CordovaWebViewClient as it is an important class.
