Android WebView progress bar

AndroidProgress BarWebview

Android Problem Overview

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?

Solution 1 - Android

For a horizontal progress bar, you first need to define your progress bar and link it with your XML file like this, in the onCreate:

final TextView txtview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tV1);
final ProgressBar pbar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.pB1);

Then, you may use onProgressChanged Method in your WebChromeClient:

MyView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
            public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
               if(progress < 100 && pbar.getVisibility() == ProgressBar.GONE){
            	   pbar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);
               	   txtview.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
               }

               pbar.setProgress(progress);
               if(progress == 100) {
               	   pbar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);
               	   txtview.setVisibility(View.GONE);
               }
            }
        });

After that, in your layout you have something like this

<TextView android:text="Loading, . . ." 
	android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
	android:id="@+id/tV1" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	android:layout_width="wrap_content"
	android:textColor="#000000"></TextView>

<ProgressBar android:id="@+id/pB1"
	style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerVertical="true"
	android:padding="2dip">
</ProgressBar>

This is how I did it in my app.

I have just found a really good example of how to do this here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html . You just need to change the setprogress from:

activity.setProgress(progress * 1000);

to

activity.setProgress(progress * 100);

Solution 3 - Android

here is the easiest way to add progress bar in android Web View.

Add a boolean field in your activity/fragment

private boolean isRedirected;

This boolean will prevent redirection of web pages cause of dead links.Now you can just pass your WebView object and web Url into this method.

private void startWebView(WebView webView,String url) {

    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        ProgressDialog progressDialog;

        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            view.loadUrl(url);
            isRedirected = true;
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
            isRedirected = false;
        }

        public void onLoadResource (WebView view, String url) {
            if (!isRedirected) {
                if (progressDialog == null) {
                    progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(SponceredDetailsActivity.this);
                    progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
                    progressDialog.show();
                }
            }

        }
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            try{
                isRedirected=true;

                if (progressDialog.isShowing()) {
                    progressDialog.dismiss();
                    progressDialog = null;
                }



            }catch(Exception exception){
                exception.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

    });

    webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webView.loadUrl(url);
}

Here when start loading it will call onPageStarted. Here i setting Boolean field is false. But when page load finish it will come to onPageFinished method and here Boolean field is set to true. Sometimes if url is dead it will redirected and it will come to onLoadResource() before onPageFinished method. For this reason it will not hiding the progress bar. To prevent this i am checking if (!isRedirected) in onLoadResource()

in onPageFinished() method before dismissing the Progress Dialog you can write your 10 second time delay code

That's it. Happy coding :)

According to Md. Sajedul Karim answer I wrote a similar one.

webView = (WebView) view.findViewById(R.id.web);
progressBar = (ProgressBar) view.findViewById(R.id.progress);
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

setProgressBarVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
	@Override
	public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
		super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
		setProgressBarVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
	}

	@Override
	public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
		super.onPageFinished(view, url);
		setProgressBarVisibility(View.GONE);
	}

	@Override
	public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request, WebResourceError error) {
		super.onReceivedError(view, request, error);
		Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Cannot load page", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
		setProgressBarVisibility(View.GONE);
	}
});

webView.loadUrl(url);

private void setProgressBarVisibility(int visibility) {
    // If a user returns back, a NPE may occur if WebView is still loading a page and then tries to hide a ProgressBar.
    if (progressBar != null) {
        progressBar.setVisibility(visibility);
    }
}

It's true, there are also more complete option, like changing the name of the app for a sentence you want. Check this tutorial it can help:

http://www.firstdroid.com/2010/08/04/adding-progress-bar-on-webview-android-tutorials/

In that tutorial you have a complete example how to use the progressbar in a webview app.

Solution 6 - Android

This is how I did it with Kotlin to show progress with percentage.

My fragment layout.

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="match_parent">

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

<ProgressBar
    android:layout_marginLeft="32dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="32dp"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:id="@+id/progressBar"/>
</FrameLayout>

My kotlin fragment in onViewCreated

    progressBar.max = 100;
    webView.webChromeClient = object : WebChromeClient() {
        override fun onProgressChanged(view: WebView?, newProgress: Int) {
            super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress)
            progressBar.progress = newProgress;
        }
    }

    webView!!.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {

        override fun onPageStarted(view: WebView?, url: String?, favicon: Bitmap?) {
            progressBar.visibility = View.VISIBLE
            progressBar.progress = 0;
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon)
        }

        override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, url: String?): Boolean {
            view?.loadUrl(url)
            return true
        }

        override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(
            view: WebView?,
            request: WebResourceRequest?): Boolean {
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
                view?.loadUrl(request?.url.toString())
            }
            return true
        }

        override fun onPageFinished(view: WebView?, url: String?) {
            super.onPageFinished(view, url)
            progressBar.visibility = View.GONE
        }
    }

    webView.loadUrl(url)

Solution 7 - Android

You may looking for progress bar that most browser use...

My XML:

<LinearLayout
	android:layout_width="match_parent"
	android:layout_height="match_parent"
	android:orientation="vertical"
	app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
	<LinearLayout
		android:id="@+id/progressLayout"
		android:layout_width="match_parent"
		android:layout_height="5dp"
		android:background="#3F51B5"
		android:orientation="horizontal">
		<ProgressBar
			android:id="@+id/progressbar"
			android:layout_width="match_parent"
			android:layout_height="5dp"
			android:background="#3F51B5"
			android:indeterminate="false"
			style="?android:progressBarStyleHorizontal" />
	</LinearLayout>
	<WebView
		android:id="@+id/webview"
		android:layout_width="match_parent"
		android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

Inside onCreate:

webview.loadUrl("https://www.google.com");

The core:

	webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
		@Override
		public void onPageStarted(WebView _param1, String _param2, Bitmap _param3) {
			everyTime = new TimerTask() {
				@Override
				public void run() {
					runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
						@Override
						public void run() {
							progressbar.setProgress(webview.getProgress());
						}
					});
				}
			};
			_timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(everyTime, (int)(1), (int)(1));
			//This code below is optional
			progressbar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
			//
			super.onPageStarted(_param1, _param2, _param3);
		}
		
		@Override
		public void onPageFinished(WebView _param1, String _param2) {
			progressLayout.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
			everyTime.cancel();
			super.onPageFinished(_param1, _param2);
		}
	});

No problem if you replace WebViewClient with ChromeClient ;)

Output: Progress bar shown while load an webview.

wait until the process is over ...

while(webview.getProgress()< 100){}
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
