Hello I am a Android newbie and I am currently learning how to code applications using Eclipse so I made one yesterday using webview on eclipse but everytime I open the app it takes me to the website but on my default browser. I want the website to open up in the app not on my browser. Anyone know how to fix this?
You need to read the WebView Reference on Android.
Apparently you open the website on a Intent, so the website is opened on the default browser.
Instead, you need to make you Activity act as a WebView on the 'onCreate()' :
Code:
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
setContentView(webview);
And then open the website :
Code:
// Simplest usage: note that an exception will NOT be thrown
// if there is an error loading this page (see below).
webview.loadUrl("my_url");
// OR, you can also load from an HTML string:
String summary = "<html><body>You scored <b>192</b> points.</body></html>";
webview.loadData(summary, "text/html", null);
// ... although note that there are restrictions on what this HTML can do.
// See the JavaDocs for loadData() and loadDataWithBaseURL() for more info.
Um this is my MainActivity.java
package com.graaltailor.JFA;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView mWebView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("examplewebsite");
}
}
You need to do something like this to overwrite urlredirect opened in the default browser :
Code:
package com.graaltailor.JFA;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView mWebView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("examplewebsite");
}
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
// do your handling codes here, which url is the requested url
// probably you need to open that url rather than redirect:
view.loadUrl(url);
return false; // then it is not handled by default action
}
});
}
I replaced the code with the one you replied with and I get a bunch of errors.
sorry I made a mistake in the code
Code:
package com.graaltailor.JFA;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView mWebView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("examplewebsite");
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
// do your handling codes here, which url is the requested url
// probably you need to open that url rather than redirect:
view.loadUrl(url);
return false; // then it is not handled by default action
}
});

Hey guys, i have a problem at ( return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); )
and at ( public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { )
Ihave mistake like The method onKeyDown(int, KeyEvent) is undefined for the type WebViewClient . But in the example it works.So what should i do?
Code:
package com.ihlas.koleji;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class activity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView engine = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_engine);
engine.loadUrl("http: //m.ih laskol eji.c om");
engine.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
engine.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
}
public class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
WebView engine;
if((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)&& engine.canGoBack()){
engine.goBack();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
}
Hey, I'm MakyOnCover and please sorry my English!
I'm trying to make a Android Game in java, but I'm having problems with some kind of joystick I'm trying to denvelop!
The situation is this: the bitmap named joystick1 is not creating when I pressed the screen, so I would like to know why and how can I resolve this problem?
Thank you for your attention!

Hi people.
I'm new in JAVA develop, and I'm trying do a simple game.
I tryed to work with 2 separated java files, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Example:
File "TesteActivity.java"
package pack.teste;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class TesteActivity extends Activity {
test1 test = new test1();
public TextView text;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.maoe);
text.setText(test.hahae);
}
}
File "test1.java"
package pack.teste;
public class test1 {
TesteActivity test = new TesteActivity();
public String hahae = "maoe";
}
And dosen't work. Somebody can help me?
Thanks
I made Instagram type application in Android Studio, but whenever I try to upload image in my app, it uploads to my profile picture. I checked my intents and they are really perfect. First file is GalleryFragment.java in which we will select the photo which we want to upload and Second file is NextActivity.java which is used to Share the image to profile. But in GalleryFragment.java I have intent getActivity() to NextActivity.java and AccountSettingsActivity.java in which we can change out profile picture. But whenever I click on Next it doesn't take me to NextActivity.java but to the AccountSettingsActivity.java and updates my profile picture. If there is Firebase error so tell me. And the same issue is occurred when I try to upload photo from camera inside the application and it doesn't do anything. I have posted 3 files.

So this is one problem one shouldn't have, if manufacturers would make sensible decisions - but oh well...
I bought an cheap eBook reader (InkBook Calypso Plus) that unfortunately comes with a very reduced Android 8.1 user interface but otherwise with an pretty open system. But when the devices goes to sleep it disables wifi (which is fine for me) and you've to re-enable it manually every time (which is not fine for me). There is no option to change that behavior in the default interface.
So I'm looking for ideas to fix this: Either by an app that just regularly checks if wifi is off and turns it back on when the device wakes up or by any other way to turn this "feature" off (maybe there is a way to access the original android settings and change it there?).
- The devices runs Android 8.1 with a custom user interface from the manufacturer
- I can sideload *.apks
- It doesn't have Google Play Store/Services
- It's not rooted and I don't know if this is possible

You need root because the activity that you are trying to manage is regulated by "wakelocks" which can be managed with apps from the PlayStore that require root in order to modify your wakelocks.
There also may be a way to use adb to change the behaviour of the wakelock causing your undesired behaviour. I haven't looked to see if there is a way to do this with adb, it may or may not require root, I'm not certain.
Or, your issue is caused by "deep-sleep" or "doze", if so, you need to find a way to remove or disable deep-sleep or doze.
Or, it may be caused by some kind of battery or power management setting on your device, try disabling any battery or power management settings.
So to just give you a "kind of solution" if somebody stumbles upon this. I solved this by (very crudely) copying together my own app that's always active and waits for "screen on" to re-enable wifi. That can be done without root on my device

So to just give you a "kind of solution" if somebody stumbles upon this. I solved this by (very crudely) copying together my own app that's always active and waits for "screen on" to re-enable wifi. That can be done without root on my device
MainActivity.java
Java:
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btnStartService, btnStopService;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
btnStartService = findViewById(R.id.buttonStartService);
btnStopService = findViewById(R.id.buttonStopService);
btnStartService.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startService();
}
});
btnStopService.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
stopService();
}
});
}
public void startService() {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
serviceIntent.putExtra("inputExtra", "Monitoring WifiStatus");
Intent onOffIntend = new Intent(this, OnOffReceiver.class);
startService(onOffIntend);
ContextCompat.startForegroundService(this, serviceIntent);
}
public void stopService() {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
stopService(serviceIntent);
Intent onOffIntend = new Intent(this, OnOffReceiver.class);
stopService(onOffIntend);
}
}
OnOffReciever.java:

I'm wondering how long this took you and how much of a headache it was.
Actually much less than I feared. Took me maybe a few hours because it's basically just two answers from StackExchange copied together.
