Stories similar to retaining the state of webview across activities - android

I'm very new to android.

I have a WebView opened inside an activity named Cards, something like this:

WebView webview = new WebView(this); setContentView(webview); webview.loadUrl("myurl")

This is opening a WebView as it is expected.

Currently I'm working on a project. It opens a weburl, with zxing I can scan bar codes and zxing returns an intent to open an URL. There I select my own App. But now I got a new Activity started? And the back button will close this Activity and go back to the prev Activity (ZXing scan) and back opens up my start page.

But I only want 1 webview to be open at a time.

I have an android app with WebView but when i press the hardware back button, nothing happens. I want the user to be taken back to the previous page loaded on the Webview.

I am having hard time with one WebView which should show our blog. When initilized, it works just fine. The user can navigate to different links within the WebView. To get back to the blog, there is a button outside the WebView which should load the main blog site again.

The problem is, that nothing is loaded after the second call to loadUrl.

I have an application that displays html pages from resource assets in a WebView. The WebView was chosen in order to permit navigation links on the page, and all navigation action is handled in a WebView Client class by interrupting new page requests and returning the required local asset.

guys.

I use a WebView in my android app, but when I close the activity that uses it, it will always gives me an exception in the logcat:

android.app.IntentReceiverLeaked: Activity XXXViewActivity has leaked IntentReceiver android.webkit.WebView$WebViewReceiver@4182eab0 that was originally registered here.

I put this code in my program for my app in android..

public class StudentModule extends Activity {

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_student_module);

WebView ourBrow = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.wvStudent); ourBrow.loadUrl("http://mateo.sanbeda.edu.ph/aims/students/");

the probl

I am unable to figure out the thing that why my simple webview app is getting closed unexpectedly.

I am creating a webview application such that. The application layout has WebView stacked over another WebView; it means essentially there are two webviews in the layout.

Now what I want is - When a user clicks anywhere on the 2nd webview (which is at bottom) a new activity with new layout opens loading a particular URL.

Any Ideas??
