calling javascript from eclipse for PhoneGap

Question

I am trying to load a website using Phonegap on Android with the following code:

   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.setBooleanProperty("loadInWebView", true);
    super.loadUrl("http://arriva.com.mt");

}

How would I execute a local javascript file on the webview?

Answer 1

I was having problems with this but managed to resolve it myself in the end. In your Activity you have super.loadUrl("javascript:yourFunction()"); within your code -- make sure you have a window scoped function to fire window.yourFunction = function(). As you're using PhoneGap I would assume that javascript is already enabled in the webview. If not, you will need to enable that too, you might find my post useful for finding out about that.
