I need just a few minutes for someone to tell me if these steps are correct for implementing cordova in a android webview:
EDIT: Ok I finally got it working these are the right steps:
I create project: cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
and enter the folder
cordova platform add android
, cordova run android
(cordova.jar is created) => the app is launched => device is ready is shown
I create a cordova_layout.xml in "/res/layout" with this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<org.apache.cordova.CordovaWebView
android:id="@+id/cordova_web_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
Import the project (as an "existing project" in eclipse) and add to the main java file after imports:
public class HelloWorld extends Activity implements CordovaInterface {
private CordovaWebView cordova_webview; private String TAG = "CORDOVA_ACTIVITY"; private final ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.cordova_layout); cordova_webview = (CordovaWebView) findViewById(R.id.cordova_web_view); // Config.init(this); String url = "file:///android_asset/www/index.html"; cordova_webview.loadUrl(url, 10000); }
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.d(TAG, "onPause");
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d(TAG, "onResume");
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (this.cordova_webview != null) {
this.cordova_webview
.loadUrl("javascript:try{cordova.require('cordova/channel').onDestroy.fire();}catch(e){console.log('exception firing destroy event from native');};");
this.cordova_webview.loadUrl("about:blank");
cordova_webview.handleDestroy();
}
}
@Override
public Activity getActivity() {
return this;
}
@Override
public ExecutorService getThreadPool() {
return threadPool;
}
@Override
public Object onMessage(String message, Object obj) {
Log.d(TAG, message);
if (message.equalsIgnoreCase("exit")) {
super.finish();
}
return null;
}
@Override
public void setActivityResultCallback(CordovaPlugin cordovaPlugin) {
Log.d(TAG, "setActivityResultCallback is unimplemented");
}
@Override
public void startActivityForResult(CordovaPlugin cordovaPlugin,
Intent intent, int resultCode) {
Log.d(TAG, "startActivityForResult is unimplemented");
}
}
NOTE: the activity name must match the one in manifest.xml
Hope it will help you. Have a nice day!
If you want to load an url in a phonegap app then you may use the below code to load your first url from asset
public class MyPhoneGapActivity extends DroidGap {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html", 10000);
}
For embedding a cordova webview in native android application and loading an url use the below code
public class CordovaActivity extends Activity implements CordovaInterface {
private CordovaWebView cordova_webview;
private String TAG = "CORDOVA_ACTIVITY";
private final ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.cordova_layout);
cordova_webview = (CordovaWebView) findViewById(R.id.cordova_web_view);
// Config.init(this);
String url = "file:///android_asset/www/index.html";
cordova_webview.loadUrl(url, 10000);
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.d(TAG, "onPause");
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d(TAG, "onResume");
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
if (this.cordova_webview != null) {
this.cordova_webview
.loadUrl("javascript:try{cordova.require('cordova/channel').onDestroy.fire();}catch(e){console.log('exception firing destroy event from native');};");
this.cordova_webview.loadUrl("about:blank");
cordova_webview.handleDestroy();
}
}
@Override
public Activity getActivity() {
return this;
}
@Override
public ExecutorService getThreadPool() {
return threadPool;
}
@Override
public Object onMessage(String message, Object obj) {
Log.d(TAG, message);
if (message.equalsIgnoreCase("exit")) {
super.finish();
}
return null;
}
@Override
public void setActivityResultCallback(CordovaPlugin cordovaPlugin) {
Log.d(TAG, "setActivityResultCallback is unimplemented");
}
@Override
public void startActivityForResult(CordovaPlugin cordovaPlugin,
Intent intent, int resultCode) {
Log.d(TAG, "startActivityForResult is unimplemented");
}
}
