Create A WebView Android Application

Introduction

Android is one of the most popular operating systems for mobile. The User can access the internet through the Browser. Each Browser has the Web view module. Web view is the most important thing in Android and Web development. Thus, I will show you how to create a Web view Android Application, using Android Studio. Android is a kernel based operating system. It allows the user to modify the GUI components and the source code.

Requirements

  • Android Studio.
  • Little bit XML and Java knowledge.
  • Android emulator (or) an Android mobile.
  • Stable internet connection during the execution.
  • Download link (Android Studio)

Steps to be followed are given below.

Carefully follow my steps to create Web view Android Application, using  Android Studio and I have included the source code given below.

Step 1

Open Android Studio. Start the new project.

Android

Step 2

Put the Application name and the company domain. If you wish to use C++ to code the project, mark  Include C++ support, followed by clicking Next.

Android, 

Step 3

Select Android minimum SDK. Afterwards, you chose the minimum SDK. It will show an approximate percentage of the people using the SDK, followed by clicking Next.

Step 4

Choose the basic activity, followed by clicking Next.

Android

Step 5

Put the activity name and the layout name. Android Studio basically takes Java class name, which provides the activity name and click Finish.

Step 6

Go to activity_main.xml, followed by clicking the text bottom. This XML file contains the designing code for an Android app. Into the activity_main.xml, copy and paste the code given below.

Activity_main.xml code

  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
  2. <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Step 7

Create new activity_browser.xml file (File ⇒ New ⇒Activity⇒Empty_activity).

Go to activity_browser.xml, followed by clicking the text bottom. This XML file contains the designing code for an Android app. In activity_browser.xml, copy and paste the code given below.

activity_browser.xml code

Step 11 

Create new Utils.java file (File ⇒ New ⇒Java class).

In Utils.java, copy and paste the code given below. Java programming is the backend language for an Android. Do not replace your package name, otherwise the app will not run.

Utils.java code

  1. import android.content.Context;  
  2. import android.content.SharedPreferences;  
  3. import android.graphics.PorterDuff;  
  4. import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;  
  5. import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;  
  6. import android.view.MenuItem;  
  7.   
  8. public class Utils {  
  9.   
  10.     public static boolean isSameDomain(String url, String url1) {  
  11.         return getRootDomainUrl(url.toLowerCase()).equals(getRootDomainUrl(url1.toLowerCase()));  
  12.     }  
  13.   
  14.     private static String getRootDomainUrl(String url) {  
  15.         String[] domainKeys = url.split("/")[2].split("\\.");  
  16.         int length = domainKeys.length;  
  17.         int dummy = domainKeys[0].equals("www") ? 1 : 0;  
  18.         if (length - dummy == 2)  
  19.             return domainKeys[length - 2] + "." + domainKeys[length - 1];  
  20.         else {  
  21.             if (domainKeys[length - 1].length() == 2) {

  23.             } else {  
  24.                 return domainKeys[length - 2] + "." + domainKeys[length - 1];  
  25.             }  
  26.         }  
  27.     }  
  28.   
  29.     public static void tintMenuIcon(Context context, MenuItem item, int color) {  
  30.         Drawable drawable = item.getIcon();  
  31.         if (drawable != null) {  
  32.             // If we don't mutate the drawable, then all drawable's with this id will have a color  
  33.             // filter applied to it.  
  34.             drawable.mutate();  
  35.             drawable.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, color), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);  
  36.         }  
  37.     }  
  38.   
  39.     public static void bookmarkUrl(Context context, String url) {  
  40.         SharedPreferences pref = context.getSharedPreferences("androidhive", 0); // 0 - for private mode  
  41.         SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit();  
  42.   
  43.         // if url is already bookmarked, unbookmark it  
  44.         if (pref.getBoolean(url, false)) {  
  45.             editor.putBoolean(url, false);  
  46.         } else {  
  47.             editor.putBoolean(url, true);

  54.         SharedPreferences pref = context.getSharedPreferences("androidhive", 0);  
  55.         return pref.getBoolean(url, false);  
  56.     }  
  57. }  
Step 12

As we need to make network requests, we need to add internet permission in an AndroidManifest.xml. Add the code given below in an AndroidManifest.xml.

AndroidManifest.xml code
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
  2. <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
  3.     package="info.androidhive.webview" >  
  4.   
  5.     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>  
  6.   
  7.     <application  
  8.         android:allowBackup="true"  
  9.         android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"  
  10.         android:label="@string/app_name"  
  11.         android:supportsRtl="true"  
  12.         android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" >  
  13.         <activity android:name=".MainActivity" >  
  14.             <intent-filter>  
  15.                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />  
  16.   
  17.                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />  
  18.             </intent-filter>  
  19.         </activity>  
  20.   
  21.         <activity android:name=".BrowserActivity"  
  22.             android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"></activity>  
  23.     </application>  
  24.   
  25. </manifest>  
Step 13

“Google-Don’t be evil” image is the default. If you want to replace the image, I will change the image link.

Below this image is the Web view part. I set the default link, which is my C# Corner profile link. Due to this, it shows my C# Corner profile. link.
