Accessing mobile twitter site with Android Childbrowser

[Allister]

Has anyone managed to get this to work. Whilst my Childbrowser works
fine for any other url, for some reason it doesn't like twitter. Does
anyone know why, or have a solution?

Hi
What platform are you trying this on? Android? If so, what version?

Hi,

Take a look at this, it works for me, and I think it's what you're
asking for :)

Hey Allister,

If you are on Android you may want to grab the latest code from
Github. I did some updates recently and I can see the twitter page
just fine.

OK - bit of a disaster in that I replaced the java and js files but,
in eclipse, errors all over the place now.

I'm on phonegap 1.3. It's always unclear which plugins to use as there
seem to be versions with cordova and versions with phonegap that are
both being maintained. Where would I find the childbrowser version you
describe that would work for me? And can I just exchange files or do I
need to start over?

Doh! Didn't realize you were on 1.3. Do you have a copy of the
ChildBrowser code you were using in 1.3? If so I can point you to some
lines you'll need to add.

Yep - I have the files. Point way! ; )

Look for:

webview = new WebView(ctx);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

and make it:

webview = new WebView(ctx);
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

and with some luck that'll do it.

In the js file?

getting an error with the following line
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

WebChromeClient cannot be resolved to a type

Eclipse suggests some fixes, but am loath to do something that I'm not
sure of the impact. Maybe you could advise?

You need to do the quick fix that says "import android.webkit.WebChromeClient".

No joy, I'm afraid Simon.

The java resolved itself properly after the above import, and the
project runs fine. However, it still hasn't solved the issue of being
unable to open the mobile twitter url through a childbrowser.

As I said, I'm using phonegap1.3 and the android plugin files that
came around june last year. I did try cordova, but, with couldn't get
the childbrowser plugin to work.

If there is a know release of the phonegap childbrowser plugin that is
tried and tested and you know will work with a mobile twitter url,
would it be possible to find that online somewhere that I can try - or
is there a cordova release of phongap and cordova plugins that might
work in this scenario?


Thanks
Allister

Can you pull together a small project using PG 1.3 and the
ChildBrowser.java you use and send it to me? I'll fix it up and post
the code change for anyone else having this problem on pre 1.5 PG.

Thanks...

yep - will do.

I did just discover that whilst
window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage("http://twitter.com/#!/
teenstreetde", { showLocationBar: true });
will not open mobile twitter when the site realises it's being viewed
with a mobile browser,

window.plugins.childBrowser.openExternal("http://twitter.com/#!/
teenstreetde");
does open the mobile version of the site, but without any option to
close the browser.
