B4A Library WebViewExtras

Hi all.

WebViewExtras is my latest library.
It's a much updated version of JSInterface.

WebViewExtras exposes more of the available native Android WebView methods to your B4A application:

addJavascriptInterface(webView1 As WebView, interfaceName As String)

Add a javascript interface to webView1, methods of the interface can be accessed using javascript with the interfaceName as the javascript namespace.

The interface contains just a single overloaded method CallSub().
The CallSub method signatures are:

CallSub(subName As String, callUIThread As boolean)
CallSub(subName As String, callUIThread As boolean, parameter1 As String)
CallSub(subName As String, callUIThread As boolean, parameter1 As String, parameter2 As String)
CallSub(subName As String, callUIThread As boolean, parameter1 As String, parameter2 As String, parameter3 As String)


So if you have added the interface to your webView with the interfaceName of "B4A" then you can write javascript such as:

B4X:
B4A.CallSub('MySubName', true)

The callUIThread parameter is an important update - it's not available with JSInterface.

Does the Sub called by your javascript modify your activity UI?
If the answer is yes then you need to pass boolean true as callUIThread otherwise you can pass false.
If you pass false and then the Sub tries to modify your activity UI you will get an exception.

Does your javascript require a return value from your Sub?
If the answer is yes then the Sub MUST NOT modify the activity UI.
If CallSub is excuted with callUIThread set to true then no values will be returned from your Sub to the javascript.

You will need to structure your B4A code so that Subs that return values to javascript do not modify the activity UI.

addWebChromeClient(webView1 As WebView, EventName As String)

Add a WebChromeClient to webView1.

The default B4A WebView has no WebChromeClient.
A WebChromeClient handles many things, the WebChromeClient that WebViewExtras adds to your WebView enables:

Version 1.30 of WebViewExtras requires that an additional EventName parameter is passed to the addWebChromeClient method, see this post: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries-official-updates/12453-webviewextras-2.html#post102448

clearCache(webView1 As WebView, includeDiskFiles As boolean)

Clear the WebView cache.
Note that the cache is per-application, so this will clear the cache for all WebViews used in an application.

boolean includeDiskFiles - If false, only the RAM cache is cleared.

executeJavascript(webView1 As WebView, javascriptStatement As String)

Executes a string of one or more javascript statements in webView1.
javascriptStatement - A string of one or more (semi-colon seperated) javascript statements.

flingScroll(webView1 As WebView, vx As Int, vy As Int)

flingScroll is a poorly documented method of the WebView.
It's included in WebViewExtras as it may be useful but i can find no documentation for it or it's parameters.

vx and vy do not seem to be pixel values - i suspect they are velocity values for the kinetic/fling scroll.

pageDown(webView1 As WebView, scrollToBottom As boolean)

Scroll the contents of webView1 down by half the page size.

scrollToBottom - If true then webView1 will be scrolled to the bottom of the page.

Returns a Boolean value to indicate the success or failure of the scroll.

pageUp(webView1 As WebView, scrollToTop As boolean)

Scroll the contents of webView1 up by half the page size.

scrollToTop - If true then webView1 will be scrolled to the top of the page.

Returns a Boolean value to indicate the success or failure of the scroll.

zoomIn(webView1 As WebView)

Perform zoom in on webView1.

Returns a Boolean value to indicate the success or failure of the zoom.

zoomOut(webView1 As WebView)

Perform zoom out on webView1.

Returns a Boolean value to indicate the success or failure of the zoom.

Up to date documentation/reference for this library can be found here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional-libraries-official-updates/12453-webviewextras-3.html#post106486.

Library and demo code is attached to this post.

The demo is a bit brief - sorry but i don't have time to write demo code for all the new methods.
The demo displays two WebViews - the top WebView has a JavascriptInterface and WebChromeClient whereas the lower WebView has neither - it is the default B4A WebView.

Martin.

Edit by Erel:
- There is a security issue related to AddJavascriptInterface in older versions of Android. See this link: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ascriptinterface-vulnerability.85032/#content
- v2.20 is attached. This is the latest version.

I added webview to viewpager panel that showed correctly on android 4.2 but blank on android 5
I don't know this relates to webview or something else. I also tried with the webviewextra 1.42
and webviewextra 2 too

1) Is the WebView blank if you make the page it is contained in into the page that ViewPager initially displays?

2) You can call a ViewPager method named 'setOffscreenPageLimit'.
This sets how many offscreen pages ViewPager will keep loaded in memory.
It might be that your page containing the WebView is being destroyed when offscreen, then when that page becomes visible the WebView fails to be recreated.
So try calling setOffscreenPageLimit and setting a number of pages that will ensure that the page that contains the WebView is always kept in memory.

1) I used AHViewPager to design a 4 fixedtab layout. 3 Tabs are simple WebViews added to viewpager's panel and 4th tab
is customlistview that contains cardviews including label and iconbutton.
I got the PageFinished (Url As String) message from webview and it loads webpage from url in android 4.2
but in android 5 It completes loading and just I can scroll down a blank webpage which scroll height is as same as contents of webpage . It seems contents are not able to load.

2)I will try and reply here.
also I will try the AHViewPager updated library ( DesignSupport) as I think this problem should be related to deprecated
AHViewPager library

The problem is with website. I made a simple test webview which loads every tested webpage except my links. links works in a
browser in my device. also another demo app that developed in android studio.
I enabled javascript and setwebchromeclient by looking the source code from android studio project but I couldn't succeed
would you test the following link in a webview and see what's going wrong with this web page in android 5.0
link:
http://pushe.co/mcontact/

by the way. here is my tested source code:
B4X:
Sub Globals
    Dim WebView1 As WebView
    Dim client As DefaultWebChromeClient
    Dim murl As String = "http://pushe.co/mcontact/"
  
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
  
    Activity.LoadLayout("WebView")
  
    Dim webextra As WebViewExtras
  
    webextra.Initialize(WebView1)
    client.Initialize("geo")
    webextra.GetSettings.SetCacheMode(webextra.GetSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK)
    webextra.ZoomEnabled = True
    webextra.SetWebChromeClient(client)
   
    webextra.JavaScriptEnabled = True
    WebView1.LoadUrl(murl)
End Sub

There appears to be something in the Javascript that the webview doesn't like on that site, if you add the lines:

B4X:
    Dim WVJO As JavaObject = WebView1
    WVJO.RunMethod("setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled",Array(True))

You can then use the chrome debugging tools on a USB connected Android device at chrome://inspect/#devices in a Google Chrome Browser on your PC to access a huge amount of debugging information.

More info here: https://developers.google.com/web/t...debug/remote-debugging/remote-debugging?hl=en

HELP!! Open camera for input type file in Webview not opening

WebViewExtras really needs an update to handle all the changes made in the WebView since KitKat and later.
As well as 'camera input', the 'file upload' feature needs updating.

Unfortunately i don't have the time to make such an update.
I can make the source code available if anyone else wants to attempt an update...

Hello,

I started on Basic4Android and I would load in a WebView a geolocated map Leaflet project. Only when using your library WebViewExtras 1.42, the WebView stays white and nothing is displayed. I do my testing on a Samsung Galaxy S4 on CyanogenMod 13 (Android 6.0.1). Thank you for your help.

I joined you an example code that I use for testing:

Hi All. I have this page in website:

1.jpg


Now with this code, i can username and password and enter in the site.


B4X:
....
Sub WebView1_PageFinished (Url As String)
    If(CookieManager1.HasCookies) Then
      Log("Cookies: "&CookieManager1.GetCookie(Url))
   Else
      Log("No cookies found")
   End If

    Log("WebView1_PageFinished")
    If Url=LogonUrl Then
             Dim Javascript As StringBuilder
            Javascript.Initialize
            Javascript.Append("var form=document.forms[0];")   '   this assumes your form is the first form on the page
           
            Javascript.Append("form.log.value='"& Starter.user &"';")
            Javascript.Append("form.pwd.value='"& Starter.password &"';")
            Javascript.Append("form.submit()")
            Log("Executing javascript: "&Javascript.ToString)
        '    uncomment next line to auto submit the logon form
        '    be careful - if logon fails then the webpage will be reloaded
        '    and an infinite loop of failed logons is likely
        '    Javascript.Append("document.forms.fSSUser_Logon.submit();")
        WebViewExtras1.ExecuteJavascript(Javascript.ToString)
        Log("Form updated")
 
    End If
End Sub

Now the question is, can i in my code write as if user click about link "Registrati Ora" ( as in picture ) ??

is source page i have this:
<p style="text-align:center; margin-top:20px;"><strong><a href="javascript:void(0);" id="new-tl" class="under-login">Registrati Ora »</a></strong></p>

Thank you all
Marco

Is webviewextras2 compatible with all versions of android?

It is running fine on my S4 with 5.0.1
In Genymotion it is running fine on a 4.1
But running it in Genymotion with 2.3.7 it crashes and in the logs are some strange things.

In the manifest i have minsdk = 9 and targetsdk = 21.

Right now i don't have time to look more at the logs or do more testing, so my question is:
Is this library supposed to work with all android versions?

Worth posting the error messages.

I'll do in the evening when i am back at home.
From memory it was something like "cannot find ressource martinpearman (blabla) webkit (blabla)" several times with different endings (if that helps...).



Maybe it is irrelevant. I'd like to know if the library, and therefore my app, works on that anyway. Especially i would like to know what the minsdk is when i use this library.


Why are you setting maxSdk?

This was just a writing error. In my manifest i use targetsdk = 21 of course. (I've corrected the original post)

Look at the android WebView documentation, look at the documentation for methods which are mentioned in your errors.
For example canZoomIn.
See this method was added to the WebView in android API level 11?
API level 11 is android 3.0.x so this method is not available on your android 2.3 device.

I'd guess the same applies to the other methods mentioned in your errors - i haven't got time to check though.

I made this summary of the webview and defaultwebviewclient errors from above logs.
Two things here are strange to me: First i don't use any of the things in my code (like canZoomIn or setFindListener). Second strange thing is that 'WebResourceResponse' was added in API level 21, which is Android 5.0, but i don't get this errors when i run Genymotion with Android 4.1.
