How to load external webpage in WebView

AndroidHtmlAndroid Webview

Android Problem Overview

My problem is that the webpage is not loaded inside the WebView.

mWebview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com"); launches the web browser...

This is the code of my activity:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;

public class Main extends Activity {
	
	private WebView mWebview;

	@Override
	public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		
		mWebview = new WebView(this);
		mWebview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
		setContentView(mWebview);
	}	
}

I added the required permission in the Manifest:

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

Thanks to this post, I finally found the solution. Here is the code:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebResourceError;
import android.webkit.WebResourceRequest;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.annotation.TargetApi;

public class Main extends Activity {

    private WebView mWebview ;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        mWebview  = new WebView(this);

        mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enable javascript

        final Activity activity = this;

        mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
            @Override
            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
                Toast.makeText(activity, description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            @TargetApi(android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
            @Override
            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest req, WebResourceError rerr) {
                // Redirect to deprecated method, so you can use it in all SDK versions
                onReceivedError(view, rerr.getErrorCode(), rerr.getDescription().toString(), req.getUrl().toString());
            }
        });

        mWebview .loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
        setContentView(mWebview );

    }

}

Solution 2 - Android

try this

webviewlayout.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         android:id="@+id/help_webview"
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent"
         android:scrollbars="none"
/>

In your Activity:

WebView webView;
setContentView(R.layout.webviewlayout);
webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.help_webview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");

Update

Add webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewController()); to your Activity.

WebViewController class:

public class WebViewController extends WebViewClient {

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
	    view.loadUrl(url);
	    return true;
	}
}

Solution 3 - Android

public class WebViewController extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }
}
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewController());

Solution 4 - Android

Please use this code:-

Main.Xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
	android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/background">
	<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
		android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/top_heading"
		android:id="@+id/rlayout1">
		<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
			android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
			android:textColor="#ffffff" android:textSize="22dip"
			android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
			android:text="More Information" android:id="@+id/txtviewfbdisplaytitle" />
	</RelativeLayout>
	<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
		android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_below="@+id/rlayout1"
		android:id="@+id/rlayout2">
		<WebView android:id="@+id/webview1" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
			android:layout_height="fill_parent"
			android:layout_weight="1.0" />
	</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

MainActivity.Java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
	private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
	      @Override
	      public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
	          view.loadUrl(url);
	          return true;
	      }
	}
	Button btnBack;
	WebView webview;
	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
		setContentView(R.layout.main);
		
		webview=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview1);
		webview.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
		openURL();
	}
	
	 /** Opens the URL in a browser */
    private void openURL() {
    	webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
    	webview.requestFocus();
    }
}

Try this code if any query ask me.

Solution 5 - Android

It's very simple try integrate these lines of code first take permission in the Android Manifest file

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

then write some code in you Activity.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.MainActivity">

<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/help_webview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"

/>

</LinearLayout>

Then write these code in your MainActivity.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebResourceRequest;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity{
    private WebView mWebview ;
    String link = "";// global variable
    Resources res;// global variable
    @Override


      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_modernherbal_main);
            mWebview  = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.help_webview);
            WebSettings webSettings = mWebview.getSettings();
            webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
            webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
            webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);

  

        final Activity activity = this;

        mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
                Toast.makeText(activity, description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }


});

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

}

}

Try this it'll help you to solve your problem

Solution 6 - Android

just go into XML file and give id to your webView then in java paste these line:

   public class Main extends Activity {

private WebView mWebview;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.Your_layout_file_name);

    mWebview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.id_you_gave _to_your_wenview_in_xml);
    mWebview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
    }   
}

Solution 7 - Android

I used this code that was cool. but have an error. " neterr_cleartext_not_permitted" show when you use this code then you will face this problem..

> I got a solution of this.you have to add this in your AndroidManifest.xml near about Application

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> // ignore if you already added. outside of Application.

Solution 8 - Android

You can do like this.

webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("Your URL goes here");

Solution 9 - Android

try this;

webView.loadData("<iframe src='http://www.google.com' style='border: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%'></iframe>", "text/html; charset=utf-8", "UTF-8");

Solution 10 - Android

Add Internet permission in AndroidManifest.xml

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

In your Layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/webView"
 />

In your Activity

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    try {
        progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
        url_Api = "https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn";

        webView = this.findViewById(R.id.webView);

            progressDialog.setMessage(getString(R.string.connection_Wait));
            progressDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
            progressDialog.setCancelable(true);
            progressDialog.show();

            LoadUrlWebView( url_Api );
    }catch (Exception e){
        Log.w(TAG, "onCreate", e);
    }
}

private void LoadUrlWebView( String url_api ) {
    try {
        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
        webView.setWebChromeClient(new MyWebChromeClient( url_api ));
        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
        webView.getSettings().setAllowContentAccess(true);
        webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        webView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

        webView.loadUrl(url_api);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.w(TAG, "setUpNavigationView", e);
    }
}

private class MyWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
    private String urlAccount;

    public MyWebChromeClient( String urlAccount ) {
        this.urlAccount = urlAccount;
    }

    @Override
    public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int newProgress) {
        try {
            //Tools.LogCat(context, "INSIDE MyWebChromeClient | onProgressChanged / newProgress1:" + newProgress);
            progressDialog.setMessage(newProgress + "% " + getString(R.string.connection_Wait));
            if (newProgress < 100 && !progressDialog.isShowing()) {
                if (progressDialog != null)
                    progressDialog.show();
            }
            if (newProgress == 100) {
                if (progressDialog != null)
                    progressDialog.dismiss();
            }
        }catch (Exception e){
            Log.w( "onProgressChanged", e);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceivedTitle(WebView view, String title) {
        super.onReceivedTitle(view, title);

        sharedPreferences = new Shared_Preferences( context );
        sharedPreferences.setPageWebView(view.getUrl());
    }

}

Solution 11 - Android

Add WebView Client

mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

Solution 12 - Android

You need to add WebView client

mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

   public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
        // do your stuff here
    }
});

also you can use onPageFinished to do task after webview done loading web page

Solution 14 - Android

Add below method in your activity class.Here browser is nothing but your webview object.

Now you can view web contain page wise easily.

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && browser.canGoBack()) {
        browser.goBack();
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
