WebView Url Issue

droidarama · by **droidarama** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:39 pm

In my program I have a popup listView dialog that populates from an arrayList object, inside it is 3 fields, one of which holds the URL. When I click one of the list items I want it to get the url of that object and close the dialog and set it to my WebView class loadUrl(url), but I don't want the WebView activity to start at that moment, I just want the url information to be set in that activity.

Because I have a button in a menu behind the dialog that will start my webview activity upon click.

Can anyone help me?
Desperate for help

Thanks

Hi droidarama,

You should keep the URL that you get from the selection and then pass it to the webview when they press the menu key. That seems like the way to do it if that's the sequence you want to do.

I'm guessing you don't know how to get it back from your dialog? Let me know if that's the case.

Hope this helps.

Well when they click a listitem in the dialog it was creating an intent to store the url and then send it to the webview class, but the only way it was working was if I started the activity with the intent upon click of the listitem. So whats the best way to get it back from my dialog?

Hi droidarama,

I guess I'm saying you should get the URL back from your dialog and then make the intent for the webview when you press the other button.

I don't know what kind of code you are using for your dialog. Are you using an alert dialog or an activity in the dialog style?

You should start that dialog with a startActivityForResult().

Then return your result (the URL or whatever the other two items are) in an intent with setResult(RESULT_OK,intent) before the finish().

You would receive the URL in an onActivityResult() and then store the user selection for use in the button onClick().

Hope this helps.

Yeah I'm using an alert Dialog
This is my listView click listener in the dialog at the moment

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() 
{
 
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) 
        {
                Object o = lv.getItemAtPosition(position);
                ClassWithUrlParameter fullObject = (ClassWithUrlParameter)o;
                Intent i = new Intent(HomeMenu.this, WebView.class);
                i.putExtra("url", fullObject.getUrl());
                startActivity(i);
        }
        });
Parsed in 0.032 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

then in the WebView.class I have

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

String url = getIntent().getStringExtra("url");
webview.loadUrl(url);
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

and my button to start the webview looks like this

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

webviewbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
                        
                public void onClick(View v){
                Intent webViewIntent = new Intent(HomeMenu.this, WebView.class);
                startActivity(webViewIntent);   
                }});
Parsed in 0.033 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

I'm not sure exactly what your saying with the startActvity etc, I've never touched on that. Could u show me with my code please?

Hi droidarama,

Here is a project that uses an activity as a dialog. You can do about anything you want with that.

Hope this helps.
