If a page has a URL or a phone number on it that isn't a link is there any way to have WebView recognize it and automatically turn it into a link like you can with TextViews?
With a TextView you would simply set the android:autoLink to the desired settings:
<TextView
android:autoLink="web|phone"
... />
but I can't find any equivalent for WebView.

I have a WebView that I'm using to open some files stored in the assets/ directory of my project. It works fine for most of the files, but there's one in particular (and I'm sure others I haven't found) that it just will not open.Code...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am hoping to create my own protocol handler for urls in a webview. I have tried two approaches already. The first was to attempt something similar to the approach defined here to create a customer protocol handler. http://java.sun.com/developer /onlineTraining/ protocol handlers / This works in a command-line Java program if I correctly set the system property java.protocol.handler.pkgs, but it does not work in Android, probably because I cannot figure out where to define this system property. Defining the system property in the code does not work. I assume this is because it needs to be loaded when the application first starts. I have also attempted to use URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory. This works for creating URL objects within the code, but it does not seem to be associated with the WebView. Any ideas on how to get this working?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a WebView in my Android App that is loading an HTML string using the loadDataWithBaseURL() method. The problem is that local anchor links (<a href="#link">...) are not working correctly. When the link is clicked, it becomes highlighted, but does not scroll to the corresponding anchor.
This also does not work if I use the WebView's loadUrl() method to load a page that contains anchor links. However, if I load the same URL in the browser, the anchor links do work.
Is there any special handling required to get these to work for a WebView?
I am using API v4 (1.6).
There isn't much to the code, here are the relevant parts of some test code I've been working with:
CODE:...................
My activity has a LinearLayout which contains a TableLayout and a WebView. The TableLayout has button and a TexView. This is created from code instead of using R.java (for our own reason).
Things are displayed correctly, however I can NOT click on the links inside the WebView (I can NOT browser through inside the WebView). This doesn't happen if I only have WebView inside the contentView. Are there some layout setting I missed?
OK so I have an rss reader that links to articles. One of the sites it links to doesn't have a mobile view. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to set the "zoom" and position of the view once the page is loaded? So for instance if the following link were my article... http://www.neworleanssaints.com/news-and-events/article-1/Saints-agree-to-terms-with-7th-round-pick-Sean-Canfield/cce6a9ca-eaee-4878-ad40-0b98609f7fe7 Then how could I have the view focus on the article without the user having to zoom in and scroll the the top of the article.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering how I can mimic the action that occurs on an auto linked email address via an intent. I tried using this method, Messaging and email intents in Android? And ran in on my phone and in my emulator and the message window opened but did not have the email address. And the composer window for the auto-link looks different than the composer for the following code. Here is the code from the link above so you don't have to click:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[] {"foo@bar.com"}); emailIntent.setType("text/plain"); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send a mail ..."));
When you click a link in the Android browser, the target link area gets highlighted with an orange box by default. A longpress then opens up the context menu for link handling (copy, paste, new window, etc). Is there a way to disable either / both of these in webview? I'm using the highlight code in scriptaculous and the default android link styling is being laid over top of the effect.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm interested in whether there is a way to monitor HTTP(S) traffic on an Android phone?

I'm registering an intent-filter on an activity to listen for url clicks from a certain domain:
CODE:.............
This works, but is there a way to filter out certain urls from my domain? For example, my app can only do something useful for the user if it gets a url like: www.mywebsite.com/orange
But if the user clicks on a link like: www.mywebsite.com/blue
I can't do anything useful for them, so I'd like to just let them continue using the browser to open that url. Is there a way I get a chance to see the URL before android pops up the chooser dialog and presents my app as a possible handler for the url? Is there some method in Activity which allows me to filter?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am writing a tutorial about the HTML5 Canvas for mobile and did some basic tests. While I can call the getDataURL () Method on an iPhone's HTML5 Canvas Element, it does not seem to return the data URL on Android 2.1 (Google Nexus One) and it's webkit-based default browser. Here is the sample: var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL(); var img = document.createElement('img'); img.setAttribute('src', dataURL); document.getElementById ('box'). appendChild(img); This will work on iPhone, it will add a new image element with the same content as the canvas. It does nothing or fails on Android 2.1.Has anyone ever gotten this to work? I am also wondering if anyone could help me with understanding the WebKit Build numbers and what it means with regards to what features I can expect. For the iphone, I see a build number of 528.18, on Android 2.1's Browser I see (from the user agent strign) a WebKit build 530.17.So it looks Android 2.1's webkit browser is more up to date, still some features work on iPhone's webkit but not on Android. Does this comparison just make no sense?
