Menu
I am using WebView in Android. I am using loadDataWithBaseURL to load url below:
( here I use "XXXX" to replace my actual webpage URL for security reason )
wb.loadDataWithBaseURL("http://XXXX.html", formattedHTML, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
The content of formattedHTML contains the actual html source code populated by my service class.
the complete source code of http://XXXX.html is below:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function displayAlert()
{
alert("this is in function displayAlert()");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="displayAlert();">dummy
</body>
</html>
And I have a button. When it is clicked, I would like to have the javascript function "displayAlert" executed: wb.loadUrl("javascript:displayAlert()");
My problem:
I searched quite a lot web pages and most of them said this is caused by the unmatch "{" and "}" in the javascript. But I checked mine and found my javascript code has correct format, as you see above.
I have already enabled javascript in webview via:
WebSettings webSettings = wb.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
Why the javascript function implemented in "http://XXXX.html" cannot be located for execution?
Would you please kindly help me? Thanks a lot!

use this
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url)
{
webView.loadUrl("javascript:(function() { " +
"alert('hello') " +
"})()");
}
});
Your problem is with the way your type attribute is written, having text/javascript and not javascript/text is very important (the ordering of the type has to be absolutely correct)
<script type="text/javascript">
function displayAlert()
{
alert("this is in function displayAlert()");
}
</script>
