WebView is a simple display

is likely what you need

Actually I want select any text in webview and want to save the
selected text in database. How would it be done.

what they are using is widgets ~ you put one up - get the text = they
use something called sql + just put that in a search box on the
developer docs and follow it down

I didn't get you. Can you please elaborate.

to select text in webview you must add :

• in oncreate method: webviewKey.addJavascriptInterface(new IJavascriptHandler(), "cpjs"); //where webviewKey is your webView
•  final class IJavascriptHandler {

    IJavascriptHandler() {

    }

    public void getMyText(String myText) {

       // this is called from JS

    System.out.println(myText);

    }

 

  }

• private class myWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

@Override

public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {

view.loadUrl(url);

return true;

}

@Override

  public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {

     view.loadUrl("javascript:window.cpjs.getMyText(document.getElementById('myText').innerHTML);void(0);");

    

  }

}

I hope this helpuful
