Implement Android Browser using simple webview

Here i am posting the creating browser api with simple built in browser functionality in android using WebView.


First of all make an xml file and put the following code here.

<?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"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
<WebView android:id="@+id/wv"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>

Now make an java file and enter the following code here.

public class SimpleWebBrowser extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
           @Override
           public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                      setContentView(R.layout.main);

                      String myURL = "http://typicaljava.blogspot.com";
                      WebView browser=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.mybrowser);

                      browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
                      browser.loadUrl(myURL);
                   }
     }

We just need to add the permission in the menifest file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
