the issue is that if it were to be like open another activity from another (MainActivity in this my case ) i know how to use the onclick and intent , but now am opening/calling the activity with a button from a webview, that is where am confused

Cooldude68:
if I get you right, you wanna place the button on the webview and then launch an activity when u click the button?

This code has not been tested tho , give it a try


in your html , create a button with the name of btnSearch with method captureClick like this

<input type="submit" name="btnSearch" id="submit_id" onclick="btnSearch.captureClick();" />


Now in your Fragment or Activity , use the below code



private class MyBrowser extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView v, String url) {
v.loadUrl(url);
v.addJavascriptInterface(new Object()
{
@JavascriptInterface
public void captureClick() throws Exception //method which you call on button click on HTML page
{
Log.d("LOGIN::", "Clicked" ;
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Login clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show() ;
}
}, "btnSearch" ;
// identifies which button you click
return true;
}
}


hope this help

Ask straight forward questions, do you want to place a button on top of a webview? what does the webview does? does it access the internet or ¿f¿ there is an html file in ur res folder? if you wan-t the button to work with the webpage, that means youre going to add the button to the url/website and not the android xml file

This is how it goes

I have buttons inside a webView (local, its not accessing internet) and i want the webView to open some activities. The reason why i used the WebView is that, it contain an accordion, which i don't know how to program using XML/Java, i hope you understand me now ?
