I want to build a custom WebView with Cordova. To do this I want to override setWebChromeClient and the setWebViewClient methods. But for that I need to have a SystemWebViewClient which requires a SystemWebViewEngine, which I cant seem to get at this point. Heres my main activity
public class MyActivity extends CordovaActivity implements CordovaInterface {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
int threadSize = getResources().getInteger(R.integer.WIPThreadPoolSize);
// Initiate Thread pool
threadPool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(threadSize, threadSize, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS, this.priorityQueue);
initApplicationInformationManager();
// initialize global variables
GlobalApplicationVariables.initValues(this);
isActivityReady = false;
isActivityReady = false;
setContentView(R.layout.main_layout);
super.init();
}
protected CordovaWebView makeWebView() {
SystemWebView webView = (SystemWebView) findViewById(R.id.customWebView);
SystemWebViewEngine engine = new SystemWebViewEngine(webView);
return new CordovaWebViewImpl(engine);
}
protected void createViews() {
appView.getView().requestFocusFromTouch();
}
}
And my custom webview:
@SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
public class CustomWebView extends SystemWebView {
private DebugServiceClient dbgClient;
public CustomWebView(Context context) {
super(context);
this.configureView(context);
}
public CustomWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attributeSet) {
super(context, attributeSet);
this.configureView(context);
}
/**
* Configure the web view.
*
* @param context
* Context web view is running in.
*/
private void configureView(Context context) {
//Make the WebView visible and hide its scroll bars
setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
setOverScrollMode(OVER_SCROLL_NEVER);
WebSettings webSettings = getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setSupportZoom(false);
webSettings.setAppCacheEnabled(false);
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
final MyActivity myActivity = (MyActivity) context;
setWebChromeClient(new SystemWebChromeClient(new SystemWebViewEngine(this)) {
public void onShowCustomView(View view, CustomViewCallback callback) {
/*Custom code*/
}
public void onHideCustomView() {
/*Custom code*/
}
});
setWebViewClient(new SystemWebViewClient(new SystemWebViewEngine(this)) {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webview, String url) {
/*Custom code*/
}
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCod, String description, String failingUrl) {
Log.e("Webview Error", errorCod + " - " + description + failingUrl);
}
});
}
}
Can't really get an engine so that the methods can be overwritten, so I just created one on the fly but this generates some errors. Additionally I cant seem to access the Cordova Plugin Manager and consequently I'm not able to add plugins to the webview. Which is the best way to do this?
