Android Question Creating interactive webapp using WebviewExtras or UltraWebview

[toby]

I used Webview only once or twice just to simply load a webpage and I still have a lot to learn about everything Webview related.

Definition of my webapp: Html/Php webpages with PHP/Mysql backend, no jar file. The app needs to receive button click events and read user inputs.

TIA

Of course, I need to find another way to create the webpages, unlike NANano Skeleton webapp.

 

[Mashiane]

It seems. Which web framework are you planning to use for the webview based app? Bootstrap or??

You can look to the [B4XPages] jRDC2 + MySql CRUD + Login example for B4A and B4J and learn howto interact wit webview at TestHTML example or do a broad webview search for ideas.
