I was wondering if I can use the Gears Toolkit within WebView? I heard a nasty rumor that it was not available in WebView.
If Gears is not available, what other storage mechanisms/paradigms are recommended?

Does anyone know whether Android 1.5 SDK supports Gears supported Apps?
Currently release 1.1, supports Gears only on the browser application and we are not able to implement Gears application on WebView.

I was able to setup geolocation accessibility in my webview for any android phone running 2.0 and up easily. However I really need to get this feature working on 1.5 and 1.6 phones as well. From what i've read it seems like this feature used to be accomplished with "Gears" and apparently there is a way to use addJavascriptInterface to implement this. I can't seem to find any examples anywhere. I'm actually suprised there isn't more information on this or at least easy to find information.

As anyone successfully tested running Gears enabled web pages in WebView ? The Gear samples are running ok in the android 'browser' application, but not on 'WebView'. Do I need to enable any WebViewSetting() options ?

information on direct access to GEARS geolocation functions from an Android application. To date, I have not found any. geolocation includes three Android-specific public Java classes, AndroidGpsLocationProvider, AndroidRadioLocationProvider, and AndroidWifiLocationProvider. The fact that they are Android-specific and that they are public lead me to conclude that I should be able to use these classes in my application. However, not surprisingly, when I try to access these classes, my application fails (see log below) because, among other things, I have no way to correctly identify nativeObject in the java classes. At the very least, I would like to understand the purpose of the three Android-specific public Java classes, and how we should use them.

I want to create a TabActivity that works like a browser.
When the activity is created, it has two tabs: "Tab1" and "Add Tab". When the "Add Tab" is clicked, it should Add a new tab.
Tab 1 | Add Tab
==> Add Tab is clicked
Tab 1 | Tab 2 | Add Tab
==> Add Tab is clicked
Tab 1 | Tab 2 | Tab 3 | Add Tab
All my tabs contents are instances of the same Activity.

Why a inline webview into which I pass a URL is now opening a browser session for the URL instead of populating the in app webView? It works on the emulator perfectly but a physical device shows the browser. The emulator is build CUPCAKE 150240 The device is CRC1.

I'm working on a fairly simple web based app. Basic functionality is push a button and hear a sound. It's all done in HTML and JavaScript and then built using Phonegap Build. It works perfectly in Android's browser. But when packaged into an APK and installed on the phone, the sounds don't play.
I'm still fairly new to Android development, so I'm just looking for some direction. I downloaded a logcat viewer, found where the mp3 files are being loaded up, but nothing stands out as an error or problem. Here's the basic JS code that should play the sound.
var sounds = new Array();
sounds[0] = "0.mp3";
sounds[1] = "1.mp3";
sounds[2] = "2.mp3";
sounds[3] = "3.mp3";
function PlaySound() {
randNum = Math.floor(Math.random()*4);
var sound = new Audio(sounds[randNum]);
sound.play();
}
The PlaySound function is called when the button is tapped. I've done console logs to ensure the function is called properly.

I have a web page that uses a custom font, using this CSS piece of code: If I load the page in the browser in Android 1.1, 1.5 or 1.6, this technique works fine, the font is downloaded and used. But these were the good times. Now this is all gone. With 2.0 my declaration is ignored, the default font is used, and I'm sad! This is in the Browser app, and in my app that uses a WebView.

I have an app that loads a webview and all the clicks are kept within the app. What I would like to do is when a certain link, for example, http://www.google.com is clicked within the app it opens the default browser.

I've been trying to set up a tablet to connect to Windows shares on the companies domain - all legitimate. I have been asked to look at their use within the company.
It's a standard Server 2008 based domain.
The main problem I am having is that the wireless is a different subnet to the main network.
The file browsers I have tried so far are not apparently capable of routing over subnets - due to smb (which the browsers use) not being a routable protocol so I am told.
The question is are there any Android apps that uses IP Routing to find shares rather than SMB.
I hope the above makes sense. I am going off what I have been told. I can connect to shares on the wireless subnet itself so this seems to all make sense to me.
Are there any such apps?

I am using Android emulator with AVD of Android 2.1 and I have the following problem: Trying to load a URL in a WebView using webView.loadUrl causes it to open in the browser instead.Note: I am talking about the initial opening, not the issue in which links from the WebView open in a browser, though, perhaps it is somehow connected.I've tried several things:I've removed <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> from the manifest. That actually made it work correctly, i.e, load the html into the webview. However, as one would expect, the only thing it loaded is "unable to connect the internet" error page.I've debugged the project to make sure and indeed at loadUrl function, it opens Android browser. The CatLog at this point is as such:05-23 22:54:06.858: INFO/Activity Manager(51): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW cat=[android. intent. category.BROWSABLE]dat=http://m.walla.co.il/ErrorPage.aspx?ReturnUrl=/Default.aspx
cmp=com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity i've tried downloading a real sample project ("Hello Android" book source files, project - BrowserView). However, it didn't work just the same. I've created a new project and followed the directions at Google's official tutorial of using WebView and got the same result.I haven't find anyone else complaining about it. Why does it happen?

I am developing my own Chrome like Web Browser in Eclipse using WebView, so far its just a TextEdit that act as a url bar, a GO button to take WebView to whatever URL is typed, and of course the WebView showing this website.
1- When i go lets say msn.com, it goes fine but if i click -- news -- , it goes fine too, but the "URL bar" still show msn.com , it doesn't show the current URL im in, so its there a way to write to to the TextEdit or create a real url bar?
2- When i go to YouTube, if i hit play on a video it plays fine on WebView, but if i turn the device sideways, video shows liek to hit play again but you can still hear it in the background, if i hit play it just stop and wont play again any other videos, ( i found the YouTube API player and i followed what supposedly is how to use it but it never worked, i cant really find instructions on how to merge it to the app, supposedly just moved the .jar file but still playing in the browser) or how can i do in webview so when a user press play it ask you want to use browser or you want to launch youtube app, cant manage how to set up in intent for this activity.
Or how can i lunch youtube app from a button on my layout?
3- How to make android , in this case 4.0.4 recognize my app as a browser so whenever any app ask me to launch a browser, mine is on the list.
4- on my case ( galaxy s2 ) in chrome when i press menu, it pop this menu, on my app, menu key pop a little menu with settings only, but nothing happens ( of course ), how can i add items to this main menu, like About, Contact Me, Back , Forward and add stuff in settings too?
5- launch an app from a button on the app.

Please help. Ever since official update that sprint did at the store it seems the stock browser will foreclose. The only way I can get it to be stable is by going to google search that came with 2.1. Anyone have a suggestion....if I factory reset it works then goes back to foreclosing

Got a brand new phone yesterday. Upgraded it to Android 2.1 before using it. In general, phone is functioning properly, however none of the applications (i.e. YouTube, Gmail, Maps) will work over the 3G connection, but the Web Browser does function ok. The apps will work over WiFi (which isn't much use if you're trying to use maps or gmail on the go). I have tried restarting phone (battery out restart). It is not a signal strength issue, I am getting HSPA with full bars and it still times out with "no connection detected" (or variations thereof, depending on the actual application). I can work around this using the web browser based clients for these apps, but as they aren't streamlined they are a PITA to use.

We use Google Apps at work, primarily for GMail and Google Calendar. I can't seem to figure out how to get the calendar app on my Droid to work with Google Apps, however.
I have two accounts set up to sync on my phone, my personal account and my work account. This works fine for email, I can sync and check both accounts easily. Calendars, however, are a problem. The only calendar it seems to work with is my personal google account, which I don't use. All my events (and company's events) are on the Google Apps calendar. If I go to "add calendar", the only options that come up are the calendars for various google groups I belong to on my personal account, which isn't what I want.
How can I get google apps calendar on my phone? I can pull up the browser and manually access it through the website, but this is less than ideal since it takes frustratingly long to do that, not to mention the lack of reminders and such (and I'd especially like to have it working with a wigit on my desktop).

I'm writing an application which connects to a back office site. The backoffice site contains a whole slew of JavaScript functions, at least 100 times the average site. Unfortunately it does not load them, and causes much of the functionality to not work properly. So I am running a test. I put a page out on my server which loads the FireBugLite javascript text. Its a lot of javascript and perfect to test and see if the Android WebView will load it. The WebView loads nothing, but the browser loads the Firebug Icon. What on earth would make the difference, why can it run in the browser and not in my WebView? Any suggestions.
More background information, in order to get the stinking backoffice application available on a Droid (or any other platform except windows) I needed to trick the bakcoffice application to believe what's accessing the website is Internet Explorer. I do this by modifying the WebView User Agent.Also for this application I've slimmed my landing page, so I could give you the source to offer me aid. package ksc.myKMB;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class myKMB extends Activity {
I already have JavaScript on the web browser on, the problem is the web view is acting to different from the web browser.

I am trying to use gwt-mobile-webkit, particularly its location api. It works well with iPhone (both device and simulator) and Firefox and on G1 with 1.6 Android, however, it does not work on G2 with Android 1.5 on it. In result I am getting onFailure callback with Permission Denied error.
So it seems, that there is some geolocation API (gears or HTML5) in the browser available, but it just does not want to ask user for granting permissions. Do you know if there is any workaround or just enable it somewhere in settings?
