I am loading url into webview:
WebView webview=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.loadUrl(url);
It's taking some time to load url, during which it shows a blank screen. I want to display a progress dialog while the url is loading:
ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "HI","Loading......", true);
However, the above is code is not working. If any have any ideas, please help. Thanks in advance.
Check out the sample code. It help you.
private ProgressBar progressBar;
progressBar=(ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.webloadProgressBar);
WebView urlWebView= new WebView(Context);
urlWebView.setWebViewClient(new AppWebViewClients(progressBar));
urlWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
urlWebView.loadUrl(detailView.getUrl());
public class AppWebViewClients extends WebViewClient {
private ProgressBar progressBar;
public AppWebViewClients(ProgressBar progressBar) {
this.progressBar=progressBar;
progressBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
progressBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
Thanks.
You need to set an own WebViewClient for your WebView by extending the WebViewClient class.
You need to implement the two methods onPageStarted (show here) and onPageFinished (dismiss here).
More guidance for this topic can be found in Google's WebView tutorial
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
alertDialog.setTitle("Error");
alertDialog.setMessage(description);
alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
return;
}
});
alertDialog.show();
}
});
You will have to over ride onPageStarted and onPageFinished callbacks
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
if (progressBar!= null && progressBar.isShowing()) {
progressBar.dismiss();
}
progressBar = ProgressDialog.show(WebViewActivity.this, "Application Name", "Loading...");
}
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
if (progressBar.isShowing()) {
progressBar.dismiss();
}
}
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
alertDialog.setTitle("Error");
alertDialog.setMessage(description);
alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
return;
}
});
alertDialog.show();
}
});
