I am working on a webview android app.
I am unable fix a issue in my app to back navigate. I am using this code and tried all modifications can be made to this.
public class DeviceActivity extends Activity
{
private WebView web;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_layout);
web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(false);
web.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(false);
web.getSettings().setSupportMultipleWindows(false);
web.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
web.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
web.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
//Our application's main page will be loaded
web.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/fbp/index.html");
web.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;
}
public void onBackPressed (){
if (web.canGoBack()) {
web.goBack();
}
else {
//My exit alert code goes here.
}
}
});
}
}
This doesn't navigate back but instead it exits the app.
Any help would be appreciated.
Add this in your Activity
code (not in onCreate()
or nested anywhere else)
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (web.copyBackForwardList().getCurrentIndex() > 0) {
web.goBack();
}
else {
// Your exit alert code, or alternatively line below to finish
super.onBackPressed(); // finishes activity
}
}
This will navigate back through the WebView
history stack until it is empty and then perform the default action (in this case it finishes the activity).
You should probably also set your WebViewClient to have shouldOverrideUrlLoading
return true
or you won't load any links.
In your code you have kept the following block in onCreate() method.
if (web.canGoBack()) {
web.goBack();
}
else {
//My exit alert code goes here.
}
Instead keep the same code in onBackPressed() like this
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(web.canGoBack()) {
web.goBack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}

We can use webview method to navigate forward and backward. method boolean canGoForward()
for Gets whether this WebView has a forward history item. canGoBack()
for Gets whether this WebView has a back history item. goBack()
Goes back in the history of this WebView and goForward()
Goes forward in the history of this WebView. this is my implementation :
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()){
case R.id.forward_btn:
if (mWebView.canGoForward()){
mWebView.goForward();
}else{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Tidak ada halaman lagi!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
break;
case R.id.backward_btn:
if (mWebView.canGoBack()){
mWebView.goBack();
}else{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Tidak bisa kembali!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
break;
case R.id.reload_btn:
layoutLoading.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mWebView.reload();
break;
case R.id.back_btn:
onBackPressed();
break;
}
}
