Android :: Use Gears For Geolocation In Webview? (for 1.5 Phones)
Aug 24, 2010
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.

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 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.

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 ?

I made a test http://www.checkdent.com/mobile/gps2.html based on the demo: http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_geolocation.html#getpermission
when i open it from android browser i get my location. but opened from within a webview, nothing happens??
i already gave several permissions <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses- permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"></ uses-permission>

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?

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?

I was wondering if anyone could direct me to where Gears is putting the local SQL Lite DBs.
I can't seem to find it mentioned in the documentation anywhere!

I created a database via javascript using Google Gears on Android 1.5 and I'd like to access directy the sqlite file to look inside it whitout using Gears. I found several "File Browser" but they only browse the SD card. Is there a way to fetch it from the phone file system?
I have an HTC Dream running Androis 1.5.

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?

We have a webpage which include two different CSS: portrait.css and landscape.css. We want load this page only once and enable the right CSS according to phone's orientation. We have a plan to develop a chrome plugin by c++ to make it which got us to have to change firmware. I just wonder whether there is more elegant way to do it by Java.

I have a webview and I am using android:configChanges="orientation" to restrain the webview from reloading everytime the orientation changes.I also have two different folders layout-port and layout-land to define the layouts for different orientations.If I use android:configChanges="orientation" then the above two folders are ignored. Can I have both working at the same time?

I am seeing an annoying bug in WebView on the G1.I have a WebView that displays an HTML page. When the user clicks on a link, the link's text is highlighted.At this point, I call WebView.clearView(), and then WebView.loadDataWithBaseURL() to load the URL that the user has just clicked on.When the new page finally shows, the WebView somehow still remembers the previous highlight area. If the user clicks on the WebView again, a "phantom highlight" at the old location will flash quickly.The phantom highlight also appears when the user moves the trackball.

Are there currently any plans to replace AbsoluteLayout in in WebView? I need to place native controls based on the coordinates of elements in the WebView. I'm currently using a separate View to manage the layer, but I'd prefer to override the layout in WebView.

I have a WebView in my activity opening html file, containing a simple javascript. My problem is that the webview opens the html file, but doesn't execute the javascript. When i open the file from web browser, and not from my app, it executes the javascript correctly. What could be the difference? Are there any different settings for running javascript?
Here is my file:

is it possible that a user clicks inside a webview on a link like <a href/> and then my activity is opened? I need this for sms, email, telephone and some specials. Lets say the user browses on the impressum and clicks on the phone number for support. I want the phone to call that number.Or lets say the browser clicks on an image (with a special href?), and I want the user to land on my picture-view-activity.
