First, the Android manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.webview"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<application
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".GeoWebViewActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
And finally, here is the complete app, consisting only of GeoWebViewActivity:
package com.example.webview;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.GeolocationPermissions;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
/**
* A minimal WebView app with HTML5 geolocation capability
*
* @author David M. Chandler
*/
public class GeoWebViewActivity extends Activity {
/**
* WebViewClient subclass loads all hyperlinks in the existing WebView
*/
public class GeoWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// When user clicks a hyperlink, load in the existing WebView
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
/**
* WebChromeClient subclass handles UI-related calls
* Note: think chrome as in decoration, not the Chrome browser
*/
public class GeoWebChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
@Override
public void onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt(String origin,
GeolocationPermissions.Callback callback) {
// Geolocation permissions coming from this app's Manifest will only be valid for devices with
// API_VERSION < 23. On API 23 and above, we must check for permissions, and possibly
// ask for them.
String perm = Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M ||
ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, perm) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// we're on SDK < 23 OR user has already granted permission
callback.invoke(origin, true, false);
} else {
if (!ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MainActivity.this, perm)) {
// ask the user for permission
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[] {perm}, REQUEST_FINE_LOCATION);
// we will use these when user responds
mGeolocationOrigin = origin;
mGeolocationCallback = callback;
}
}
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch (requestCode) {
case REQUEST_FINE_LOCATION:
boolean allow = false;
if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// user has allowed this permission
allow = true;
}
if (mGeolocationCallback != null) {
// call back to web chrome client
mGeolocationCallback.invoke(mGeolocationOrigin, allow, false);
}
break;
}
}
WebView mWebView;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
// Brower niceties -- pinch / zoom, follow links in place
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new GeoWebViewClient());
// Below required for geolocation
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setGeolocationEnabled(true);
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new GeoWebChromeClient());
// Load google.com
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// Pop the browser back stack or exit the activity
if (mWebView.canGoBack()) {
mWebView.goBack();
}
else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
}
Hope this helps.
