I'm trying to use the HTML5 Geolocation features found in Android 2.0. However, it does not work in the browser or a WebView. I've tested in the emulator and on multiple devices. The code I have works in multiple other browsers that support the spec. Has anyone gotten this to work?

I am experimenting with Androids WebView[1] and its HTML5 features. I have written a little webpage with does the features detection like described here: http://diveintohtml5.org/detect.html
And now I see (I am on a SDK1.6 Emulator) that the LocalStorage, the WebWorkers and Offline Web Applications are not supported!
Does anyone know when these features will be supported? Or does anyone know the exact version (or build) of the webkit engine, that is used in Android 1.6?
Is there any list which HTML5 features the WebView supports and which not? I am interested mainly in: 1) localStorage/sessionStorage 2) offline manifest 3) web sockets 4) web workers. Prior there was lack of those features (http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg60143.html), but in Android 2.1, first two should be supported, but I am not sure about 3 and 4. Is there any list of supported features or we have to test it on our own?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently tried out the applicationCache / offline web apps on Android 2.1's WebKit and unfortunately it does not work exactly like on a webkit on the iPhone. I was wondering how I can easily see what features should be implemented and if there is something like a roadmap?
Does that information somewhere exist?
Do I need to use a service like Skyhook if I want geolocation in my Android App over wi-fi or will it work out-of-the-box like with an iPhone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 1 Replies View Relatedinformation 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 know currently there is html5 and canvas support for the android browser but I am looking more for a solution for full screen games and such.
I'm piecing together a cheapo app that amongst other things "frames" some of our websites... Pretty simple with the WebViewClient... until I hit the video.
The video is done as HTML5 elements, and these work fine and dandy on Chrome, iPhones, and now that we fixed the encoding issues it works great on Android... in the native browser.
Now the rub: WebView doesn't like it. At all. I can click on the poster image, and nothing happens.
Googling, I found http://www.codelark.com/2010/05/12/android-viewing-video-from-embedded-webview/ which is close, but seems to be based on a 'link' (as in a href...) instead of a video element. (onDownloadListener does not appear to get invoked on video elements...)
I also see references to overriding onShowCustomView, but that seems to not get called on video elements... nor does shouldOverrideUrlLoading..
I would rather not get into "pull xml from the server, reformat it in the app".. by keeping the story layout on the server, I can control the content a bit better without forcing people to keep updating an app. So if I can convince WebView to handle tags like the native browser, that would be best.
The HTML5 applicationCache in the 2.x browser is working well except for one problem:
when you force a cache update in JavaScript (window.applicationCache.update()) then it doesn't go out to the web to check the manifest it just throws the "checking" and then the "noupdate" events.
I imagine that eventually it actually checks the manifest online, but the update() is supposed to force it. any ideas on how to force an update or how old the manifest needs to be before it checks the web again?
I wrote several simple HTML5 apps which all works on Android browser, but the webview in my activity doesn't work. I have enable javascript in webview setting. Is there anything setting needed for HTML5 to work?

if this is a noob question, I searched quite a bit and couldn't find an answer.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've talked to a lot of people recently who say they are expecting to stop writing native mobile apps and start writing web apps once HTML5 gets more fully baked in mobile OSs. I just finished my first HTML5 deep dive, and I'm not yet convinced.
Will HTML5 work as a replacement development platform for native apps, or are there certain things that require targeting the native runtime?
I would like an html5 page that runs in Android 2.2 Browser that I can take a picture using the phone's built-in camera and save it to a sqlite database as a blob.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I entered the Android world with a Nexus 7 (2012) edition recently.
I create some webpages which I want to make sure that it works in HTML5 browsers. The way I go about the testing is, I first create the webpages in my laptop, copy the folder to my Nexus 7, and open the index.html in the browser.
Now, I heard that Google Chrome is a HTML5 browser. But I am unable to open my html file in that when I open it from File Manager. I tried Dolphin Browser, but it crashes the moment it opens.
So, is there any other HTML5-only browser I can use for this purpose?
I have created an HTML5 'app' with a width and height 480 x 800 to be used as an android app.
Plan is that this can be scaled down/up for other Android devices to fit screen.
The app runs fine, but it is not being scaled to my device screen size. I have to scroll up/down and left/right on the every screen.
I have tried nearly every variation of the meta viewport tag with no succes (in the index.html file).
