Android Question Webview

Hello All;
I wonder if there is away to track a button press in php file throw the webview. So if some one pressed a button in the php file I can open another b4xpage.

Any link that the user clicks on will trigger the webview_OverrideUrl (URL As String) As Boolean event.

You can then check the passed URL to figure out how you want to handle it - for example, open another B4xpage.

But remember that if you do handle the event, then "Return True" in this event so that webview will not try to do anything for the event.

I noticed a lot of beginners are confused about how to use the WebViewExtras library so I made a detailed example. If you find it useful, kindly consider buying me a coffee. Code works on Android 4.4 to Android 13 (last tested version). It should work for the latest Android versions but I...

Only HTTP links are handled by the OverrideURL event. You'll have to use javascript to catch those other button ID clicks.
