Our school app loads a webpage within a webview and, like the right click > Inspect to view source and properties of a website in chrome, is there a way in Android to view the HTML/CSS etc... of a page loaded in webview? Alternatively, is there a way to figure out exactly the link of the page in the webview so I can enter it in a normal browser to Inspect on chrome?

I don't know if anyone else has tried this, but the google box that you can bring up on the Sense tab (the one for internet) is different than the one when you open the Opera Browser that is right under the address bar. The difference between the two is the one on the Sense tab gives you the results of the search, but anytime you click on any of the links for your results its TEXT ONLY. The one on the Opera Browser has links that takes you to the site, but still lets it stay as a "desktop" looking site. Anyone know why it does that? Is it a glitch? Can it be fixed?
I agree. I would like to know as well.
In the tab: you can change it in registry to the following and it will do every google search in desktop version :
google.com/search?hl=en-US&output=html&q=%s
however, if you are in the browser already, and did a google search, it will come up in mobile search results.
How can we change the one in browser to desktop searchers?
Hmm never noticed this before,might be a good idea to
change it to give proper search results
The search bar that you refer to invokes Google's specilaized mobile view rendering service. Essentially what Google does is to take all the websites out there and convert them to a mobile friendly version before diplaying it on your screen.
That's why it is different from the Desktop View and even the Opera Mobile View because Google is dong the conversion, not the browser.
It's quite handy if you want quick access to text information.

custom user agent.
as you are now opera is telling google it is a mobile browser. spoof for example the FireFox desktop use agent and you will see desktop google.
as for the search tab, as mentioned above you can force the results and even use a different search engine if you like.

background: my kindle is rooted
So as part of my plan to use my Kindle Fire as an academic tool of
efficiency and versatility I have downloaded all of my college course syllabus's into my kindle.
I'm trying to create a local version of two of my syllabuses which are riddled with HTML links which link to other pages.
Now I've been able to do this with some success by downloading each of the pages and placing them in the same folder so that when I tap on the link for "Short Papers" it takes me to the page that explains them all.
However many of the deeper links are actually URLs to services like jSTOR which provide PDFs for viewing and download. I have already downloaded said PDF and have it in a folder, at the moment the same folder as the syllabus. This is so that when the time comes I can just hit the link to the reading and go straight to it instead of going to the page online to download it.
However when I try to replace the URL link in the html towards Reading1.pdf, rather than it say it cannot be found when I try and open it, nothing quite happens.
This leads me to ask the following questions:
1. Is the HTML wrong? I used DroidEdit and simply and exactly replaced the URL "website.com" within <a href=website.com> with Reading1.pdf
2. Would the HTML viewer make a difference? At the moment I'm using the default Kindle HTML viewer to read these files.
3. Do you think file associations has any impact? At the moment I have ezPDF reader pro as the default PDF viewer?
4. If this can be made to work, is it possible to link to multiple formats and have them each open up within their own file association? Meaning if I had an html document that linked to various books (mobi/epub), pdfs, docxs within my sdcard (whatever the directory should be..), etc. Would it be possible to tap on them all and have my mobi's open on the kindle default viewer, pdfs on ezpdf, docxs on quickoffice and epubs on Goreader?
If so I feel as if I can avoid the hassle of each of those readers having their own incomplete collections of my overall total works.
Let me know if you require any more details or if I need to clarify anything about what I'm asking,
Thanks.
New development, I tried using Dolphin Browser HD to open the html file and this time, the link to the Pdf worked and it opened into ezpdf!
Now I have to figure out a way to make the Dolphin browser the default association with html.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Select All Applications (selector)
Locate Browser and click on it.
Down near the Bottom, look for Launch by Default and click on the Clear Defaults
After you have done that, when you select a web page, it will show all of the browsers that could be use, make sure you click on make default, and select Dolphin Broser....
I use the stock browser and I set in options to open new windows in background, that is I want links on a page to open in another tab
While this works for 99% of websites this is not working with Google: it keeps on opening search results links into the same window
I have even set the same option in google's settings with no avail
I do not have this problem with firefox
hello,
*
I followed a tutorial to load a web page in my application https://www.learn2crack.com/2013/10/android-webview-example.html
*
The problem is that if I test with http://www.google.com application will ask me what browser I want to load the web page but it will not charge in my webView. But, if I test with http://www.google.fr then the application will load the application directly in my webView.
*
Do you know how to make the application always loads web pages in my webView?
*
thank you
Hello, please post the code how you load the page so we can se whats happen...
Chrome or Android System WebView?
On the v20 WebView is actually disabled, on the Motos you have to go into developer options to change to chrome.
Chrome seems to run faster but starts stuttering after awhile.
The other option I suppose is not to use WebView at all and open in a chrome tab.
I go out of my way to turn off webview and redirect to chrome browser.
