I have a simple WebView-based activity that follows Hello, WebView , to enable JavaScript and reload shouldOverrideUrlLoading().
This operation works great when the user touches links on a web page. However, if the user uses the trackball and clicks on the link, then the resulting page load shows the page with JavaScript disabled.
public class ViewUrl extends Activity {
protected WebView view;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.view_url);
final String url = "http://www.opentable.com/phone/reviews.aspx?rid=2947";
view = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.widget1);
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
view.loadUrl( url );
view.setWebViewClient( new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
}
}
The view_url.xml file is simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<WebView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/widget1" />
</RelativeLayout>
Below are screenshots showing both correct and incorrect behavior.
