Simple webview with android studio

Step 1: Creating Android Project:

Before jumping to our coding part let’s create a new android project for WebView Application with following information:

Application name: Simple Android WebView Example

Company Domain: sirseni.com

Package name: com.sirseni.simpleandroidwebviewexample

Minimum SDK: Android 2.2 (API 8 Froyo)

Step 2: Adding WebView to Your activity_main.xml file:

To add WebView to your application, you have to add <WebView> element to your xml layout. Simply copy and paste following code to your layout file.

res/layout/activity_main.xml

<webview android:id="@+id/myWebView" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:scrollbars="none" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

</webview>

Step 3: Modify yourMainActivity.java file:

To load your website in your application you have to use loadUrl().
WebView myWebView = (WebView)

findViewById(R.id.webview);

myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.example.com");

Here is complete code of your java file.

src/MainActivity.java

package com.sirseni.simpleandroidwebviewexample;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.net.Uri;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.webkit.WebSettings;

import android.webkit.WebView;

import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

     

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

     

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

     

WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.myWebView);

     

myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.centerend.com");

     

myWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());

     

WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();

     

webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    }

    // Use When

the user clicks a link from a web page in your WebView

    private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

     

@Override

      

public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {

         

if (Uri.parse(url).getHost().equals("www.centerend.com")) {

             

return false;

            }

          

         

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));

         

startActivity(intent);

         

return true;

        }

    }

}

Step 4: Modify AndroidManifest.xml file:

You must add the INTERNET permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file to load
website in your application. So before running your WebView application, add single line code to your Android Manifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET">

</uses-permission>

Final Code of AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest package="com.sirseni.simpleandroidwebviewexample" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET">

    <application android:allowbackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <activity android:label="@string/app_name" android:name=".MainActivity">

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN">

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER">

            </category></action></intent-filter>

        </activity>

    </application>

</uses-permission></manifest>

That’s all! Now run your Simple Android WebView Example application by just clicking Run icon,
