CustomWebView : An extended form of Web Viewer

[almeidapablo (Pablo A. Rod.)]

As I said at the other topic, this is an amazing extension that will help me a lot. And I am not the only one with a browser app or another kind of app that will like the exclusive options of your extensions. I am sure when more people know about it many people will be using it and all of us will be thankful to you for this great work.

@vknow360

Also thank you to @almeidapablo for motivating me.

I really think I don’t diserve any thanks, but thank you for thanking me it feels good imagine that I could motivate you at least a little.

You can be sure in the next few days I will test your extension as much as I can and if I find any bug I will tell you.

Check this new webviewer extension @techcvr , @Xoma , @fastearn00 , @saurav_shaw612 , @Vedang
Sorry to mention you all but I know you guys have projects that can make a great use of it.

@sonumohammad333

It helps koders understand better and eliminate doubts
Otherwise you will get question on how to use blocks
It is better than replying to question

Thank you for your precious suggestion.
After getting huge response I have added documentation for properties
Thank you everyone

Nice extension

I downloaded via your miniurl but i get naked ladies in front of a camera. I don’t think that is what you want.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

Sorry…I was not aware that MiniURL will do that.
I am sorry
I will replace that as soon as possible.

I tested your extension with my e-book template. Still have to do some more work.

Easy way to make an e-book

I have a little update on this guide. I wanted to save the chapter and position on the html file i am reading. There were several things i was thinking about but choose to use these blocks. [image] This is a little tutorial on how to use these blocks. https://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/webview-javascript Remember when you use this you have to Enable Javascript option of the webviewer component. [image] I asked my son @Bart to help me with the javascript or to be honest to make it for …

I had to change and add some blocks. Now i have a search function also. I like your extension very much.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

@Peter

I like your extension very much.

Thank you @Peter.
Your appreciation means a lot to me
Once again Thank you

[Peter (Moderator)]

In my e-book template i have a javascript that records the position on the html page. I tried to make it work with your extension but i wasn’t succeeding. Now i saw the webview string change block. When i want to use that to store the value it gives me a

runtime error with unbound location $value at the end.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

@Peter

runtime error with unbound location $value at the end

Thank you.
I will try to fix it as soon as possible (at least 30 minutes mom shouting at me )

But I have found the bug.It is just because of not running method/task on ui thread.

[Peter (Moderator)]

Is this also explaining why the webviewstrings isn’t working?

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

I have no idea about that
Actually I have no knowledge of JavaScript

No runtime error but still not working what i want. What the javascript does is that it is giving the scrollposition in the html to the webviewstring block. But it is still not working.

I can not save it and when i get a value it is always zero.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

Hi @Peter
Can you try replacing AppInventor with Makeroid and Kodular?
If none of these works then issue/bug can be found easily.

[Peter (Moderator)]

Changed it to Kodular but start noticing other things. When i run my original template with the standard webviewer i can view the pages in the companion.

With you webviewer i have to compile the app.
so this doesn’t seem to work.

It gives a net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED error.

It also looks that the css file is not used when displaying the html-file.

[ImranTariq]

Again You came with extra ordinary work, well done and congrats for this awesome work. Thank you.

[Hadi_Editz (Hadi Bangash)]

It’s just amazing​ again by you @vknow360

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

@Peter

It gives a net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED error.

If you got this error in companion then:
I think this error is because of file access.By default file access is blocked in web view.You have to enable it manually either from designer or from blocks.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

Hi @Peter
I compiled your both versions of ebook template.
Here are both APKs:
ebook_template_cw.apk (5.2 MB)
ebook_template.apk (5.2 MB)

I found no difference between them.
Also I am not able to locate main.css file and scroll.js is missing in all html files.
As soon as Companion starts working for me I can tell you correct test results.

[Peter (Moderator)]

@vknow360

main.css

Forgot to upload that. Scroll.js was present. It is at the bottom of the html page. css is working as it should but still have to build to test. I will be doing something wrong i guess so have to play some more.
