I know in Scrollview you can access scrollView.getMaxScrollAmount however I don't seem to understand how to call it on webview. I tried cheating to get the information about it. Here is what I tried.
What the method was suppose to do is that it continually scroll in a specific amount and checks if the value isn't increased in that amount it gets that amount and returns it with the max value. However it doesn't work.
public String scrollToMAX(){
webView1.scrollTo(0, 0);
Boolean istrue = true;
String getIntData = "";
int i = 0;
while(istrue){
int checker = webView1.getScrollY();
if(i != checker){
i = checker;
getIntData = Integer.toString(i);
istrue = false;
}
i=i+5000;
webView1.scrollTo(0, i);
}
webView1.scrollTo(0, 0);
return getIntData;
//Put a return string here
}
here you go: this is working perfectly for me (it scrolls to the end)
the trick is in using the function getContentHeight of WebView
package sherif.android.activity;
import sherif.android.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class WebClientTestActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
String UserAgent = "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0)";
//webView.getSettings().setUserAgentString(UserAgent);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com/search?gcx=w&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=arsenal");
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
Log.v("here","here");
view.scrollBy(0, view.getContentHeight());
}
});
setContentView(webView);
}
}
A bit late, but if anyone needs the answer, webview has a protected method - computeVerticalScrollRange() - if you want to know the max scroll range you can override the WebView and return computeVerticalScrollRange() - getHeight()
