Im just trying to communicate my java app with the content on the webview .
In detail , may be just showing a toast on button click ?
After searching on google and doing some research , ended up with the following code .
P.S : - Im using Android Studio , is there any external library i need to compile inorder to get things done ? or something else ?
Following is my WebviewActivity code:-
public class WebviewActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String TAG = "Main";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_webview);
//WebView Object
WebView browser;
browser=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
//Enable Javascript
browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
//Inject WebAppInterface methods into Web page by having Interface 'Android'
browser.addJavascriptInterface(new WebAppInterface(this), "Android");
browser.loadUrl("http://www.somewebsite.com/app/form.html");
}
//Class to be injected in Web page
public class WebAppInterface {
Context mContext;
/** Instantiate the interface and set the context */
WebAppInterface(Context c) {
mContext = c;
}
/**
* Show Toast Message
* @param toast
*/
public void showToast(String toast) {
Toast.makeText(mContext, toast, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
/**
* Show Dialog
* @param dialogMsg
*/
public void showDialog(String dialogMsg){
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext).create();
// Setting Dialog Title
alertDialog.setTitle("JS triggered Dialog");
// Setting Dialog Message
alertDialog.setMessage(dialogMsg);
// Setting alert dialog icon
//alertDialog.setIcon((status) ? R.drawable.success : R.drawable.fail);
// Setting OK Button
alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Toast.makeText(mContext, "Dialog dismissed!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
// Showing Alert Message
alertDialog.show();
}
/**
* Intent - Move to next screen
*/
public void moveToNextScreen(){
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
// Setting Dialog Title
alertDialog.setTitle("Alert");
// Setting Dialog Message
alertDialog.setMessage("Are you sure you want to leave to next screen?");
// Setting Positive "Yes" Button
alertDialog.setPositiveButton("YES",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
//Move to Next screen
}
});
// Setting Negative "NO" Button
alertDialog.setNegativeButton("NO",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// Cancel Dialog
dialog.cancel();
}
});
// Showing Alert Message
alertDialog.show();
}
}
}
form.html:-
<html>
<head>
<style>
body{
background-color: #FA5858;
color:#fff;
}
input{
background-color: #F7D358;
width: 300px;
padding:10px;
color: #000;
}
div#content{
padding:20px;
background-color: #F7D358;
color: #000;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showAndroidToast(toastmsg) {
Android.showToast(toastmsg);
}
function showAndroidDialog(dialogmsg) {
Android.showDialog(dialogmsg);
}
function moveToScreenTwo() {
Android.moveToNextScreen();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<h3>Binding JavaScript code to Android code</h3>
<div id="content">
//some content here
</div>
<div>
Here are few examples:
</div>
<div>
<input type="button" value="Make Toast" onClick="showAndroidToast('Toast made by Javascript')" /><br/>
<input type="button" value="Trigger Dialog" onClick="showAndroidDialog('This dialog is triggered by Javascript ')" /><br/>
<input type="button" value="Take me to Next Screen" onClick="moveToScreenTwo()" />
</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>

My study for this :-

Your methods inside
WebAppInterface
class are missing the@JavascriptInterface
annotation.Your
WebAppInterface
class should be like this,Edit
Don't forget to limit your app to API17+ when loading web content into the WebView, otherwise your App will be vulnerable to attacks. Read @Robert's comment below.
