I've implemented a list with each item as a WebView. The WebViews are loaded in their own threads so the UI doesn't have to wait.
The problem I've ran into is after the list is loaded, some webview items disappears or repeat after the list is scrolled. I've read posts from Romain Guy and others about how this is a bad idea. Just wondering if it's still a bad idea or a solution has been found since Cupcake.

I think this has been asked elsewhere (StackOverflow) but with no satisfactory answer.
I have a ListView where each row is composed (mostly) of a WebView.
The "problem" is that you can't touch the WebView and fire the onListItemClick method of ListActivity.
I've tried to set android:clickable="false" in the xml file, but this also doesn't allow me to "click" on the WebView.
From another thread (http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/ browse_thread/thread/684162fdf5a073ec), I've seen others state that putting a WebView in a ListView is "bad form" (e.g., "I don't see a situation where a WebView cannot be replaced by a text view or a combination of other compoenents [sic]. I still think this is a bad idea."),
Given this opinion, I think I should explain my "situation".
Each row in the ListView will contain a question whose contents vary.
The contents of the row will require formatted text (bold, italics, superscript, subscript, etc.) and 1 or more images. To me, this seems like an ideal situation for a WebView, because I don't know ahead of time what the specific order and structure of the text images will be.
So....I guess I have a few questions.
Is it possible to allow users to "click" on a WebView placed in a ListView and fire onListItemClick? If so, how? Given my needs, is there another way to structure my ListView rows without using a WebView? If so, what is it?
As you can see, I first create a webview. Then, I want it to immediately disappear. Then, I want the Listview to come up. But the problem is, I can't do Listview if I don't do ListActivity but then I can't do Activity. Code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter a successful web view is loaded, now after some processing on the HTML page, I would like to return the control to the main screen. Is this possible in Android?
The control after the webview is launched, is in the browser, so after I make some ajax calls and then get a positive server side message. I would like the control goback to my Webview Activity.
Is there a way to show that a WebView item contained as a item in a ListView is selected? Right now the WebView does not seem to display its contents transparently like every other control so it takes up the entire view and does not show its state as selected.
Also, when the content of the WebView is selected, scrolling down with the track back does not seem to cause the WebView to loose focus. If I continue to scroll down with the track ball, all of a sudden an item in the middle of the ListView gets selected.
I would like to change text and back ground color of my Listview without building custom rows. Is this possible ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere must be a way to do this. How can you tell a ListView that has a header to not scroll it when the user scrolls the contents? I want it to stay in a "stuck" position so that the user can always see what column the content applies to.

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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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'm getting fairly regular crashes using WebView's in the underlying C code (sigsegv's). There isn't a _whole_ lot of rhyme or reason to it, but one thing that is somewhat suspicious is that I have more than one webview active (only one is one the screen at any one time, but if this has anything to do with my problem it may not matter since it appears that webkit widgets run asynchronously from the main UI thread).
Here's the stack dump. I've looked through the archives and it appears that there are other dumps, but it's really hard to tell from my vantagepoint whether they have anything to do with one another.
This is pretty easily reproducible (especially with one particular url of mine) so it should be relatively easy to track down.

I have looked at a question similar to this here but as I am a newbie could someone explain how to get this to work in a WebView or at least how to set a 10 second time delay so people know that it's loading?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes some please let me know how to use webview? I want to make a webview keep to work wthin in a layout without opening new web browser when clicking a link tag.
For instance, you can see the "Hello" text and google web page on a display. Then if you click the "help" or "news" or "settings" links, the android boots new web window and shows the web page.
I want to keep/fix the webview to open web page. I dont want to start android embedded web browser.

I'm getting crash reports from my app out in the wild. Problem is, I don't know what's causing it. The only place I'm using WebKit is when constructing an -in-app help browser.
Here's the full stack trace:
CODE:..................
The help browser window takes the full screen, with a bar at the bottom for "help" and "done" buttons. The only way I can conceive of the help window losing focus is if someone clicks outside of the bar, or the screen dims. Will catching and throwing the NPE be sufficient for eliminating this error, or do I need to add some further metadata in the Android Manifest XML?
