Android :: WebView - Documentation Of JavaScript And Java Interaction
Sep 30, 2010
I have found that there is a significant lack of documentation of WebView's ability to communicate with Java via WebView.addJavaScript() method. First, the debug document http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/debug-tasks.html#Debugg... appears to no longer work. Second, what object types should we expect when going to and from JavaScript. I have done some trial and error and it appears that complex types can cross the boundary, for example java.util.Vector. However when a Java method returns a byte array to JavaScript it has a type of undefined and I have been unable to coerce it to any other type. Finally, there is great potential with this interface and with some more attention we could go far.

I am writing a hybrid web/native app and ran into issue. My app downloads a music file via Java code, and needs to update a Javascript download progress bar in the WebView in real time.
My understanding is the only way to call Javascript from Java is via the WebView's loadUrl method.

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:

I'd like to call a JavaScript function out of Java.
Well, the following source code works fine for me (http:// whyandroid.com/android/206-using-webviews.html):
This is not called on the UI thread. Post a runnable to invoke
CODE:............
My problem now is to use a parameter for the JavaScript function.
Let's assume I've got some XML (just like AJAX somehow).
I need to escape it just like the iPhone / Objective-C command stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString does.

I'm debugging a Javascript+HTML app. All the content is in ./assets.
The app works fine in Firefox, Safari and iPhone (over the web).
But in the WebView, I only get: D/WebCore (626): Console: undefined line: 0 source: undefined
I need to debug this code. Could I either: - enable more debugging in the WebView? though I think this needs to be done in the framework. or: - set up a desktop WebView equivalent where I can run a Javascript debugging tool?

My 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.

I am very new to both android webkit and javascript. I have a web page with 3 links (say A,B,C). When I open that page on my PC browser(Chrome), and click on the links, A opens in the same browser window whereas B and C pops up a new window. In my application I am loading the original URL in a WebView. I have implemented my WebViewClient and overridden the shouldOverrideUrlLoading. I am getting the call to shouldOverrideUrlLoading whenever I click on A, but not getting it when I click on B or C?

I have this simple HTML that I load into an Android WebView (SDK version 1.5)-
<html>
<body onload="nomethod()">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</body>
</html>
Function nomethod() doesn't exist but the LogCat doesn't display any error. It seems that any exception that isn't caught cannot be traced. how can I handle or trace uncaught exceptions?

I put a webview in my application to visit a webpage which includes some javascript functions, my purpose is when users click a link in the webpage, it will start a new activity in the application. I've written "webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);" in my source codes.
It works well in most of the time, however sometimes it doesn't work, there is no response when users click, and I don't know why because the environment is not changed at all.

I'm trying to very quickly port over an html application with plays sound (with soundmanager2) to a native android app using WebView. From my research, I haven't seen any evidence that sound, such as mp3s, can be played via javascript or any other methods using WebView.
My goal now is to quickly port over the html app and then eventually create a truely native application without using WebViews.
If anyone has been able to successfully implement playing audio using WebViews and Javascript or if this is just not possible at this time.

Given that scripting is not natively supported in Android and wrapping libraries like javax.script.ScriptEngine into your app will make it too large, is it possible to send a javascript string to an invisible WebView and have it evaluate the string and return you the results (another string)?
I want to go this route because I want to save all my scripts to disk so my app can remain small.

I am developing an application with Webview. The web app that runs inside the Webview is loaded from internet, and it is a single HTML file. I use javascript for showing and hiding the divs, depending on the section button the user had tapped on.
The problem is simple: after a little while (this time period seems to be random), javascript stops working inside the Webview object. Then, after a few seconds (10-30 seconds), javascript works again. It doesn't work any javascript. Nothing.
The strange thing is that the problem only happens when the application runs in a HTC Desire. I tested it in two different HTC Desire, and the problem happens in both devices. I tested it in a Motorola Milestone, in a HTC Hero and under emulator (1.5,1.6,2.1) and the application works fine, no error at all.
The problem happens using Wifi or mobile network.
I tried the debugger, but "Dev tools" crashes when I tap in "Development Settings". I also tried to compile the application for debugging under Eclipse, but adb does not show me info about the WebView object.
The HTC Desire firmware version is 2.1-update1. Kernel version: 2.6.29-3cb3dfbf. Build number: 1.15.161.4 Webkit 3.1

I'm not highly familiar with javascript but I think this is the best way to accomplish my purpose. If not, please correct me. I have a licence text 2 buttons at the end. All of this is written in HTML in a WebView because there are some links in the licence. Now, I want that when the user clicks the "ok" button in the WebView, this triggers some javascript or listener that I can grab in Java to fire an Intent to go forward in the application. (The cancel button would do the opposite, but if I know how to do one, I can do the other. Does this rings any bell to someone? Any explanation or sample code is welcome.

I've been following a discussion on the apparent lack of JavaScript and Java on Android browsers. One of my hot button applications requires either JavaScript or at least the ability to run a .jar file in order to save data. No one in the other discussion has been able to find a Android browser capable of supporting this application (TiddlyWiki)..

I am currently trying to integrate a live search functionality in android. I use a customized Autocomplete widget. The widget itself provides me with a threshold to only start a query after a certain amount of characters have been typed in. But what I also want is that a query only starts, say if a user has stopped typing for 2 seconds.
As I load my contents with a AsyncTask I tried blocking the doInBackground function by calling Thread.sleep() right at the beginning. If the user would then continue typing the program would look after an existing task, cancel it and start a new one. This was my idea. But it doesn't quite work the way I expected. Sometimes it sends out queries even if the user is still typing, sometimes queries are canceled after the users stopped typing. Do you have any ideas on this or maybe a better way to solve this? Here are the code snippets:.....................

Why below code is throwing nullPointer exception in last line (when accessing javaInterface.mValue) This line through NullPointer, so basically it is not being set. even though the javascript is correct and has been verified using FireBug that it returns expected string.
There are few lines above this code chunk but it is irrelevant this problem

I believe that it's possible to call Java methods from (PhoneGap) Javascript. Anyone knows how to do that?? (I know how to do it by changing the source code of PhoneGap, but I'd avoid that)

I am currently trying to research how to use Android with an existing java based system. Basically, I need to communicate to/from an Android application.The system currently passes object data from computer to computer using ActiveMQ as the JMS provider. On one of the computers is a display which shows object data to the user.
What we want to do now is use a phone (running Android) as another option to show this object data to a user with wifi/network access.Ideally we would like to have a native application on the Android that would listen to the ActiveMQ topic and publish to another Topic and read/write/display the object data, but from some research I have done, I am not sure if this is possible.What are some other ways to approach this problem? The android Phone needs to be able to send/receive data. I have been using the AndroidEmulator for testing.

I'm writing an application which connects to a back office site. The backoffice site contains a whole slew of JavaScript functions, at least 100 times the average site. Unfortunately it does not load them, and causes much of the functionality to not work properly. So I am running a test. I put a page out on my server which loads the FireBugLite javascript text. Its a lot of javascript and perfect to test and see if the Android WebView will load it. The WebView loads nothing, but the browser loads the Firebug Icon. What on earth would make the difference, why can it run in the browser and not in my WebView? Any suggestions.
More background information, in order to get the stinking backoffice application available on a Droid (or any other platform except windows) I needed to trick the bakcoffice application to believe what's accessing the website is Internet Explorer. I do this by modifying the WebView User Agent.Also for this application I've slimmed my landing page, so I could give you the source to offer me aid. package ksc.myKMB;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class myKMB extends Activity {
I already have JavaScript on the web browser on, the problem is the web view is acting to different from the web browser.

I would like to a WebView to run some JavaScript before loading the rest of the page. This JavaScript should run in the same context of the page, just as if extra <script> content were added before any other <script> content. This is not possible with add Java script Interface() since I want to set up some instance variables, before the page scripts are run, so that the page scripts can use them.
