View 10 RepliesI'm trying to load a html page from the assets directory. I tried this, but it fails. I don't really get any telling errors in LogCat...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm going crazy, I created a file object, so it can be read with ObjectInputStream, and I placed the assets folder.
The method works with a file smaller than 1M, and give error with larger files.
I read that is a limit of Android platform, but I also know that can be "easily" avoided.
Those who have downloaded the game Reging Thunder, for example, can easily see that in their assets folder is a file 18.9M large.
This is my code ...
now I have an uncompressed file and I can use it without worrying about the error "This file can not be opened as a file descriptor; it is probably compressed"
This function works well with files smaller than 1M, with bigger files return an
java.io.IOException on line "ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(is);"
why?
the question i have is simple but hard to put in words, ill give it a try anyways.i am trying to load a web page in web view,however the load time is a little high.is there anyway i can put the images in the assets folder and load them from there instead?if not, is there a way i can load the whole site from the assets folder, providing that my php files can still communicate with my internet database?i have already read most tutorials however they are pretty vague when it comes to concrete help.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWell, I'm trying to follow the tutorial from http://rapidandroid.org/wiki/Graphing. But I found a problem just in the first part of it. I'll describe the problem here, I just cannot understand how this could be wrong, it's pretty simple stuff. What am I doing wrong here? First I created a xml file called statistics.xml, in it among other things I put this code...
The problem arises here, as I seem to be getting null for wv whenever I test for it. Which means of course that findViewById(R.id.webview) couldn't find the view. But again, what am I doing wrong? Of course I know I could also instantiate the webview directly from code without the need to specify it from the xml, but I was just wondering what was wrong about this way of doing it. Just in case I also added the following line in my android manifest file.
I'm having problems with this. If I go to an SWF directly in the browser, it works fine. If I attempt to use loadUrl on an SWF file it stays blank and loads nothing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an instance of Bitmap that I want to load into the WebView. How can I do this? I do not want to call webview.loadUrl() as the image is already loaded from the file into memory . I am trying to optimize my code. I can see webview.loadData() however, seems like I have to encode Bitmap into UTF-8?? I have two questions: 1) How can I use webview.loadData() from a Bitmap instance?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way I can load a URL without actually having the user see the web page? I'm trying to make a game with a hi score table, and loading the hi score URL in the browser would reveal the mechanism and allow the hi scores to be easily hacked. I have a php file on my server that my application is supposed to load to submit the hi score.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat i want is when first time application runs then it should show only image in the full screen and one progress bar. And in the background there should be a url like http://www.google.com should be loaded in WebView. Once the url loads fully then my first screen which contains progress bar and image should move away and new screen with loaded url comes up. Is it possible to load the url in the webview as a background and once loaded then only webview should appear.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy app uses a WebView widget to load ads from Google AdManager. AdManager gives you an HTML snippet, which is 90% javascript to call their server for the image to load.
I put their html snippet into a string and use String.format to add in several variables that AdManager requires.
I enable javascript on the WebView (webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);)
I load the string into the WebView (webView.loadData(myString, "text/html", "UTF-8");
result: the ad never loads (although the WebViewClient shows serveral .js resources loading).
If I take that exact string and create a file and then use webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/test.html"), the image loads properly.
Why would loadUrl work but loadData does not?
I've verified that javascript is running. I injected a little script to write out a text string and it works.
In my app I have to load external page into WebView-based activity. Some of my users with slower connections are reporting screen timeout while waiting for the page to load. What would be a good way of loading the page on backgorund thread and then refreshing the screen? Use HttpClient to fetch it and then use WebView#loadData? My fear is - the page I'm loading is pretty complicated there's some JS that happens on load - wouldn't I just mess it up? Is there an alternative way of doing what I need?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to load https requests with a Webkit object but It shows only a blank page, with http requests I don't have problems, It shows the page correctly. I have look the source code of the browser, in http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Browser.git;a... but I don't understand how the browser process the https requests. I think that the class BrowserActivity process the http and https requests but I don't see how to do it. Somebody could explain how the browser process the https request? It uses a Webview object to show the response of the https requests?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a WebView on my Android application which loads (WebView.loadUrl()) different local HTML files from phone's internal storage. I would like to include some custom css styles for them, Now, I could have my app edit every HTML file and add linking reference for the CSS file.I could also read the file contents, add the CSS linking and use WebView.loadData() to load it.But is it possible to do this a lot simpler and efficiently.Note: The HTML files are downloaded from a website. So editing them manually is not possible in this case, but once downloaded they can be edited via the app if necessary.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI came across an interesting issue when testing android 2.2.
My testing was to use webview api,webview.loadUrl(url);
If url is from any public domain, ex, www.google.com, the web content is rendered very well.
[url]
If url is from local host, ex, tomcat with port 8080, the web content is rendered as well.
[url]
But if url is from other port, ex, websphere with port 9080, the web content is not rendered.
[url]
There is no exception thrown, and it shows blank on the emulator.
Is there any setting needed for different port?
these is how to give a string as argument String link ="http://www.adobe.com /devnet/acrobat/pdfs /pdf_open_ parameters.pdf"; webview.loadUrl(link);But how to give an "URL" variable to load its content to webview.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been assigned the task to use an android tablet to run a single app in an enterprise setting. Ideally, when one switches on the tablet this app should be loaded perhaps during startup and the user need not step out of this app. The app logic itself is rather easy but I am wondering if it is at all possible to load a single app during load and not allowing the user to step out of it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to load a layout XML at runtime and load into activity?
In my app, I have various types of data like Person, Company, City, etc; The requirement is to dynamically load the layout, find views by tags (property names like Person.name, Person.address) and then fill in data. For example, if user has selected an object of type Company, we want to load a company.xml layout, inflate it and then associate various properties (company name, company slogan, city, address, revenue) to tagged views. One possibility I see here is - each view in the layout will be associated with property-name as tag and then appropriate data will be loaded in appropriate views.
What should be the best design you would recommend?

In this case 'i' is -1 meaning nothing read. Why would nothing be there if the file is there, the variable 'files' has the file as well. Do I need to do anything to the file I put into the Assets folder in get it to be readable? When I use a small text file it works. When I use a 10 meg file, it does not. (The 10 meg is a Sqlite database I need to install)
As my app is too big in size and it seems a long job downloading resources from web server. i want to move my files from assets folder in the app to sdcard on first run. is this possible?
