WebView not working completely.

[Bob H]

 

I am trying to port a website to an Android tablet using the Android WebView control . The Website works on a PC with the Chrome web browser.

  Most but not all of the features of the website work with the following code on the Android tablet.  

 

 

WebView vendWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

 

WebSettings webSettings = vendWebView.getSettings();

// Enable JavaScript

webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled( true);

 

 

 

vendWebView.setWebViewClient( new WebViewClient());

 

 

 

vendWebView.loadUrl(  https://xxxxxx.xxxxxxx.com/");

 

 

I looked at the HTML that is not working and it is just straight forward HTML buttons.

 

My question is should the HTML that works on the Chrome PC browser also work when it is

encapsulated in the Android WebView control ?

 

 

                      Thanks,

                       Bob H

Unless you're running Android 4.4 on your device, the Android WebView implementation has little to do with Chrome / Chromium, and will very probably behave completely differently.

You would probably have a better answer on an Android forum, like android-d...@googlegroups.com

Hi Bob,

Android WebView has different layout modes, and dozens of settings, and all of this can affect layout and of your page as well as functionality available to it.

You can start with browsing these docs:
