How to load external webpage in WebView

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" />

Solution 1:

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:

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:

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

Solution 4:

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.

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
