Question

                    String s="..<td colspan=2 style='border-bottom: solid 1px #efefef; width:100%'>" +
                    "<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: solid 1px #dedede; padding:2px;\" scrolling=\"no\" " +
                    "src=\"http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=hu&geocode=&" +
                    "q="+address+"&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear="+address+"&z=14&output=embed\"></iframe>"+
                    "</td>" +
                    "</tr>...";

webview.loadDataWithBaseURL (null, s, "text/html", "utf-8",   "about:blank");

and then its not working… showing up a “loading” and login window. why? in a normal browser this works.

Answer 1

A few things here: First off, Javascript is disabled in WebViews if you don’t explicitly enable it. See WebSettings’ setJavascriptEnabled method. Also, loadDataWithBaseUrl uses the first argument to determine a bunch of security behaviors (see the docs on that method), including I believe blocking scripts from fetching external resources if the base URL is null or starts with “data://”. Try using any URL with “http://” at the beginning for the first argument and see if that helps, and of course make sure you have the INTERNET permission in your app’s manifest.

But before all that… why don’t you just use a MapView? IFraming a javascript Google Maps URL seems silly when you can just use a native map control.
