webview help

I am having trouble creating a webview app for my already mobile ready site.
I keep getting this error in the emulator:
The application window cleaning forums (process com.windowcleaningforums) has stopped unexpectadly
The app never actualy loads just goes straight to this.
Basically i already have my sites mobile ready and browsing to them on your mobile works fine, but would like to put these into apps.
With a back, forward and refresh button when hitting menu button on phone.
(I am not sure what i need to add these yet but any advice would be great)
My project is set as bellow
Application name: Window Cleaning Forums
Package name: com.windowcleaningforums
Create activity: windowcleaningforums
Mini SDK version: 4
windowcleaningforums.java
Code:
package com.windowcleaningforums;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class windowcleaningforums extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
//@Override
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {
mWebView.goBack();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
WebView mWebView;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.windowcleaningforums.co.uk");
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
}
}
Main.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I am very new and im not quite sure what is causing it any help would be great. Thanks

I get this if that is any help i am not sure what it means though.
[2011-01-12 22:35:07 - DeviceMonitor]Sending jdwp tracking request failed!
This is the log if that helps also i really could do with some help peeps, nobody seems to want to. I know i am new and prob asking stupid questions but how am i supposed to learn if i dont ask questions.

Hi cyberpedz,
Probably just a typo but in your main.xml the WebView tag should have a capital "W" like so:
<WebView xmlns:andro...
You did the right thing looking in the log. That's what helped to figure this one out: there was an exception stack trace in the log. (Keep an eye out for the "AndroidRuntime" tag)

Thanks i have changed that but no difference.
I do have a red dot over a hellowebview class though
When viewing windowcleaningforums.java and looking at the right in outline i have a read dot over hellowebviewclient
Could it be something to do with this bit of code?
Code:
public class windowcleaningforums extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
//@Override
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}

Try moving the
Code:
//@Override
just before onCreate and uncomment it.
Also Java classes should start with a capital (public class Windowcleaningforum). Make sure you modify the Manifest accordingly.

Ok finally i have it working, it was me being blind i missed a webView now changed to Webview and all works thanks so much.
Now i am trying to get a loading progress bar or even better spinning circle.
What code would i need for this and where abouts in my java bellow would i fit it in?
Code:
package com.windowcleaningforums;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class windowcleaningforums extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
//@Override
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {
mWebView.goBack();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
WebView mWebView;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.WebView);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.windowcleaningforums.co.uk");
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
}
}

Anyone know how to get the spinning circle while pages loads? and how to imput into my code above?
Would be a great help

Ok finally i have a running webview in the market what i would like to do now is add a soft menu for a back, refresh and forward button what code do i need and where would i put it in my java below?
Code:
package com.windowcleaningforums;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class windowcleaningforums extends Activity
{
final Activity activity = this;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.WebView);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress)
{
activity.setTitle(" Loading...");
activity.setProgress(progress * 100);
if(progress == 100)
activity.setTitle(R.string.app_name);
}
});
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl)
{
// Handle the error
}
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
{
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
webView.loadUrl("http://www.windowcleaningforums.co.uk");
}
}

So why is it no body wants to help is it the way i ask? is it that developers think they are above the noob? or you really cant b bothered!!
I have even offered to pay for help in the past yet nobody is interested maybe it is that no one really knows the answers.

It's not that developers can't be bothered, but generally they will have other things to do than help out others. The thing is, you're asking on help for pretty basic stuff. This is something that you should know already, and if don't I suggest you should read through Android's developer website one more time and look at the API examples/demos too.
Hints for your problem; Add the buttons as a merge layout in your XML and then link them with your web view, or add them as menu options. Googling for both will surely give you enough results to get you on your way, these are pretty basic things you want to do after all.

It goes into the wallpaper picker without getting FC but after sliding the wallpapers on bottom it goes away all of a sudden...
One note is that the following code was originally R.layout.wallpaper, BUT get error...
changed to (setContentView(R.layout.wallpaper_chooser)

Is this that difficult?
or just not that common?
or maybe i should be more familiar with how apk's work?
Any help is appreciated...

[Q] Choose a string in spinner

Hey guys!
I am working on my first app, cut me some slack for asking please .
So I'm stuck on a little problem:
I have a reader activity and I put a spinner on top of the screen to choose the string where the text comes from:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Spinner
android:id="@+id/kapitelspinner"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:prompt="@string/kapitel_prompt" />
<ScrollView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/kapitel1"
/>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
The TextView in the ScrollView is supposed to be the selected text from the spinner.
Code:
package com.asm.reader;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;
public class BookActivity extends Activity {
static final private int CHOOSE_KAPITEL = 0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.book_activity);
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.kapitelspinner);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
this, R.array.kapitel_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
}
}
Code:
package com.asm.reader;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent,
View view, int pos, long id) {
Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(),
parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {
// Do nothing.
}
}
I'm trying to make the spinner choose the string of the textview but i have no idea how to do it. (Already did the toast part)
If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks !

bump. the last problem im stuck on

The way I understand what you're trying to do is select an item from the spinner, and set the TextView according to the selected spinner item.
If that is the case you will, for starters, need to set an id attribute for the TextView in the layout xml file.
Then within your onItemSelected() method you need to create a reference to the TextView the same way you did it with the spinner; using the findViewById() method.
Then using that reference you can set the text of the TextView using the same string you got when you created the Toast notification.
Hope that helps!

[Q] Beginning Programmer, need help with personal app

I'm creating an app to keep track of all the messier objects in the sky. I have made a list view in the main activity that holds all the objects, when clicked it should open my other activity and display the objects info.
The program now goes to my second activity no matter what item i choose but doesn't change any of the TextView text without foreclosing.
also how can I recognize what object was clicked and change the information displayed for each object
The main Activity Java looks like this:
Code:
package com.kabluey.messier;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MessierCatalog extends ListActivity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set string array
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.main, objects));
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
{
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id)
{
// When clicked, change text in object info to clicked object name
TextView objText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtObjName);
objText.setText(((TextView) view).getText());
Intent i = new Intent(MessierCatalog.this,Objectinfo.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
}
static final String[] objects = new String[]
{
"m1", "m2","m3","m4","m5", "m6","m7","m8","m9","m10","m11","m12","m13","m14"
,"m15","m16","m17","m18","m19","m19","m20","m21","m22","m23","m24","m25","m26","m27","m28","m29","m30","m31","m32","m33"
,"m34","m35","m36","m37","m38","m39","m40","m41","m42","m43","m44","m45","m46","m47","m48","m49","m50","m51","m52","m53"
,"m54","m55","m56","m57","m58","m59","m60","m61","m62","m63","m64","m65","m66","m67","m68","m69","m70","m71","m72","m73"
,"m74","m75","m76","m77","m78","m79","m80","m81","m82","m83","m84","m85","m86","m87","m88","m89","m90","m91","m92","m93"
,"m94","m95","m96","m97","m98","m99","m100","m101","m102","m103","m104","m105","m106","m107","m108","m109","m110"
};
}
The second activity has no code in it now and is just an xml layout:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<ImageView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/crab"
/>
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/tableLayout1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="1">
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:text="Name of Object:"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/txtObjName"
android:text="Object name here"
android:padding="3dip"
android:paddingLeft="5dip" />
android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:text="Apparent Magnitude:"
android:padding="3dip"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/txtMagnitude"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="9.0"/>
android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I think it may have to do with your casting of "view" to type "TextView" in you onItemClick override. I don't think the "View" passed to this override is a "TextView" is it? I would think it is the ListView to which you added the OnItemClickListener event handler.

Have some suggestion / tips:
1. This is more organized, also initializes first the Strings
Code:
package com.kabluey.messier;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MessierCatalog extends ListActivity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private static final String[] objects = {
"m1", "m2","m3","m4","m5", "m6","m7","m8","m9","m10","m11","m12","m13","m14"
,"m15","m16","m17","m18","m19","m19","m20","m21","m22","m23","m24","m25","m26","m27","m28","m29","m30","m31","m32","m33"
,"m34","m35","m36","m37","m38","m39","m40","m41","m42","m43","m44","m45","m46","m47","m48","m49","m50","m51","m52","m53"
,"m54","m55","m56","m57","m58","m59","m60","m61","m62","m63","m64","m65","m66","m67","m68","m69","m70","m71","m72","m73"
,"m74","m75","m76","m77","m78","m79","m80","m81","m82","m83","m84","m85","m86","m87","m88","m89","m90","m91","m92","m93"
,"m94","m95","m96","m97","m98","m99","m100","m101","m102","m103","m104","m105","m106","m107","m108","m109","m110"
};
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set string array
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.main, objects));
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
{
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
int position, long id)
{
// When clicked, change text in object info to clicked object name
TextView objText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtObjName);
objText.setText(((TextView) view).getText());
//Log here!, but im almost sure this is bad
Intent i = new Intent(MessierCatalog.this,Objectinfo.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
}
2. Could you make a Log.i("APP", ((TextView) view).getText()) and upload output?. That appears like you're setting to your textview, the same text you got from it ( that's actually null / empty )
3. If output it's empty or not output, then this is the answer
Code:
package com.kabluey.messier;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MessierCatalog extends ListActivity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private static final String[] objects = {
"m1", "m2","m3","m4","m5", "m6","m7","m8","m9","m10","m11","m12","m13","m14"
,"m15","m16","m17","m18","m19","m19","m20","m21","m22","m23","m24","m25","m26","m27","m28","m29","m30","m31","m32","m33"

,"m94","m95","m96","m97","m98","m99","m100","m101","m102","m103","m104","m105","m106","m107","m108","m109","m110"
};
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Set string array
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.main, objects));
ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

// When clicked, change text in object info to clicked object name
TextView objText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtObjName);
objText.setText(objects[position]);
Intent i = new Intent(MessierCatalog.this,Objectinfo.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
}
Also for this cases it's not really needed TableRow, With a Relative layout it's enough, but I don't think that's a prob.
If you have some problem, feel free to contact me through PM.
Good luck, and cheers from colombia.

solved!
I searched the nets and found a solution, it seems to be working quite well.
thanks for all the help
My click listener now stores the value so both activities can access it
Code:
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,int position,long id)
{
Intent i = new Intent(MessierCatalog.this,Objectinfo.class);
//Get ListViews text and store it to "myText"
i.putExtra("myText", (((TextView) view).getText()));
startActivity(i);
}
The ObjectInfo activity now has code to store the ListViews text in String Variable and then set the text..
Code:
public class Objectinfo extends Activity
{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.objectinfo);
TextView objName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtObjName);
//store ListViews Text to String
String str = getIntent().getStringExtra("myText");
//Set text to stored ListView string
objName.setText(str);
}
}

Stackview Widget - Items not loading

I've tried to create simple dialer widget that will get contacts from contact book, put them into stackview and when clicked create a popup where you can call or create a message. I worked well as an application, but when I turned it into actual widget, I've encountered something weird. Despite all the methods firing, the items are not updated and stay on loading layout.
I've compared it to the example, tried to switch parts of code and nothing works. Even funnier, my code works perfectly when I put it in example widget, but example code doesn't work in mine. The same thing happens for listview and gridview. Is there any other file I should edit?
I provide the code, layouts and manifest. Logcat shows all methods firing in right order, so there's nothing to see there.
WidgetProvider.java
Code:
public class WidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds){
Log.d("WIDGET", "Called onUpdate()");
for (int i = 0; i < appWidgetIds.length; ++i){
// Set up the intent that starts the StackViewService, which will
// provide the views for this collection.
Intent intent = new Intent(context, WidgetService.class);
// Add the app widget ID to the intent extras.
intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetIds[i]);
intent.setData(Uri.parse(intent.toUri(Intent.URI_INTENT_SCHEME)));
// Instantiate the RemoteViews object for the app widget layout.
RemoteViews rv = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.main);
rv.setRemoteAdapter(R.id.stackView, intent);
rv.setEmptyView(R.id.stackView, R.id.emptyView);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds[i], rv);
Log.d("WIDGET", "Widget updated");
}
super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
}
}

@edit I've copied the whole service code again and now it decided to work. I don't know anything anymore.
