Auto fill webpage form

[Kenneth Larsen]

Hi

I have an activity starter and a button that takes me to a webpage, on the web page there is a form. I wish to fill out some of the lines automatically. Is that possible?

And yes i know all the browsers offer autofill.

thanks in advance :)

Kenneth.

Here is a tutorial about the Web component and JSON.    It is probably possible to fill-in info on a Web page using techniques similar to this.  http://www.appinventorblocks.com/appinventor-tutorials-tips/appinventor-web-component-json-response  

Have I tried it?     No.

The POST or PUT commands are probably what you will need.   See the documentation for Web here:  http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/components/connectivity.html#Web

Here is a generic way to do it with Android:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2938502/sending-post-data-in-android

Try some things and let us know what you find.

Also, check back here frequently, someone may already have a solution and might post it.
