Actually this question has many answers. Here are 2 of them :
- This first is almost the same as yours, I guess we got it from the same tutorial.
public class TestActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
final WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.browser);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.addJavascriptInterface(new MyJavaScriptInterface(this), "HtmlViewer");
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
webview.loadUrl("javascript:window.HtmlViewer.showHTML" +
"('<html>'+document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML+'</html>');");
}
});
webview.loadUrl("http://android-in-action.com/index.php?post/" +
"Common-errors-and-bugs-and-how-to-solve-avoid-them");
}
class MyJavaScriptInterface {
private Context ctx;
MyJavaScriptInterface(Context ctx) {
this.ctx = ctx;
}
public void showHTML(String html) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(ctx).setTitle("HTML").setMessage(html)
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null).setCancelable(false).create().show();
}
}
}
This way your grab the html through javascript. Not the prettiest way but when you have your javascript interface, you can add other methods to tinker it.
- An other way is using an HttpClient like there.
The option you choose also depends, I think, on what you intend to do with the retrieved html…
