Calling javascript function from android webview?
- by Edmond Tamas
I try to call a javascript function from directly form my application (webview.apk), in order to start a script which would autoplay a html5 video clip, I have tried to add itt right after webview loadURL but wwithout luck.
Maybe someone could take a look at the code. What am I missing? Thanks!
package tscolari.mobile_sample;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
public class InfoSpotActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView mainWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.mainWebView);
WebSettings webSettings = mainWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mainWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
mainWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyCustomWebViewClient());
mainWebView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
mainWebView.loadUrl("http://server.info-spot.net");
mainWebView.loadUrl("javascript:playVideo()");
}
private class MyCustomWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
}
