As per your expectation, I think you want to enable heavy task in your WebView. For that you need to enable ChromeClient,
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new MyWebViewClient());
And your MyWebViewClient class will be,
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview);
// Force links and redirects to open in the WebView instead of in a browser
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new MyWebViewClient()); // HERE
// Enable Javascript
WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
// Use remote resource
// mWebView.loadUrl("http://example.com");
// Stop local links and redirects from opening in browser instead of WebView
// mWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyAppWebViewClient());
class MyWebViewClient extends WebChromeClient {
@Override
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int newProgress) {
super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress);
}
@Override
public void onReceivedTitle(WebView view, String title) {
super.onReceivedTitle(view, title);
}
}
// Use local resource
mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}
