I wonder if it's possible to use webkit/webview for UI instead of using the native UI (view,layout,activity,etc). Is there a way to catch/propagate intents to internal app when we use webkit/webview ui (probably through javascript)? The advantage of doing this is to provide a cross platform client that works in various mobile devices.

When viewing Web pages either in the built-in Web browser or in a WebView canvas, focusable items get the orange highlight ring as you navigate the page with the D-pad/trackball. A design team I am working with wishes to create some Web content, specifically for Android, where they handle their own focus highlighting via Javascript/CSS and wish to disable the built-in Android focus highlighting. In this case, the content is being viewed through a WebView, so I have some measure of control. I see some posts describing how to use ColorStateList, <selector>, and android:background to affect this sort of change, for a single View. How would one go about affecting this change for the contents of a WebView?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a fully-working web app that is accessible using Android's browser.
The annoying part is the url bar uses a lot of the screen. Is there a way to make this web app a native Android app? I've read that webview can be used to embed a web site within the Android App.
Unfortunately, I only know web programming languages and have no Java experience. Will I still be able to do this on my own?
Android platform and actually mostly interested in the browser. I created http://www.jqtouch.com/ in hopes of developing a web-based cross-device application framework — but I'm running into a lot of issues with Android. Does anyone know of any good resources which describe the features/implementation of WebKit on Android? At first glance, it appears it doesn't support HTML5, nor certain -webkit CSS3 extensions like gradients or transitions. Does support certain other WebKit features like opacity, etc.
Most of my searches are coming up futile, because I end up seeing generic info about Android having WebKit, or technical pieces specific to embedding WebKit in native apps — but no good documentation on general WebKit features available. Again, I'm new to the platform, so I apologize if this information is in the clear...
Is there a way to get webkit running in the background , or even small enough for the user not to know that the webkit browser is running? Basically i want to use this to have java and javascript integration while using the android UI.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'am looking for a way to have a webview content selectable in the very same way as the stock browser does.
I should note that Dolphin HD shows exactly the same text select functionality as the default browser (same icons, animation, etc), so it really should be possible. But I can't figure out how.Until now, all i found was this function, which kind of work, but doesn't allow the user to expand/shrink the selection.I just discovered that long touch copy/paste is part of HTC Sense, not Stock android. Still, it'd be useful to find out how to enable that on a webview, even just for HTC users. Anybody knows ?
How can I find out what is the version number of Webkit (the one from www.webkit.org) that is android's Webkit (the one in external/webkit) is based on?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am interested in displaying web pages with more than the 3 installed fonts. I tried the demo of installing fonts as assets and changing the typeface, but I am not sure if it applies to a Webview. I was able to modify the sdk and install more fonts in frameworks/base/ data/fonts. I can see those additional files when using the shell in / system/fonts. However, the fonts were not used in the internal web browser.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to enable SVG support when building Webkit for Android? I saw an earlier thread from back in March about SVG being slow for the UI of apps, but I'd like to experiment with web content containing SVG, DOM manipulations, etc to see what the speed is like. Is it just a matter of turning on the compile flags for SVG support in Webkit or would there be a significant porting task?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding the meta viewport declaration in HTML pages. Please tell me if this is not the correct group to post to. I have been doing quite a few iphone specific websites and I always use: <meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width; minimum- scale=1.0; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=no;" /> Now I tried a site that is using that declaration in the android emulator with a 854 x 480 resolution. Even with the declaration above its scaling graphics and text. I would assume that I have 854 x 480 at my disposal. Can somebody explain how I can disable any resizing? Never had any of those issues in the 1.x Android OS devices and iPhone OS.

I wanted to enable some debug prints using log utility of Android in Webkit I added the following statements in my code.
#define LOG_TAG "webkit" include <utils/Log.h>

I'm trying to force Webkit to use proxy definde in APN.
My proxy configuration:

I have built a website for mobile webkit browsers, there is an interval update to refresh data. But it turns out that the pooling refresh will stop at some time after run for a while (some minutes or hours, different by each time).I thought there may be something error occurred in my refresh data functions, but it works well in my laptop browser. I also tried to listen window.onerror event, but webkit browser seems do not support that event. What else can I do?And I am also doubting is there any problem with setTimeout and setInterval functions in mobile webkit browser?

document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML += "line " + myLine + "<br>";
...............
<div style="position:...etc; overflow:auto;" id="myDiv"></div>
this works without a glitch in every browser on all non mobile platforms. However... when this is implemented on iPhone (Safari) or Android (webkit) the div gets filled up with the text but no scrollbar is generated when the text runs past the height of the div and the user can't "push" the content down either. So effectively overflow is always "hidden" no matter what. I'm curious if there's some alternative approach that I'm overlooking or if this is just a bug I have no way to get around at the moment.
I could display the box around the URL link, but if my URL link spans over more than one line, then my code shows the one rectangle on 1 line. But, in android-browser, in the same case, whole URL (still if it spans over multiple lines) gets surrounded by single large rectangle. I am not getting how this is achieved in android ?
Can anyone please give me some pointer on this ? I could not able to find out exact code for this in android-webkit code.
