write as webview

[Saghi]

Hi,
I want to write an android app in appbuilder VS extension (javascript) with these features:

- The app works just like a webview
- At the startup, app will open a url then users will work with the webpages
- app should detect each page's location (url string)
- app should call a javascript function of webpages after fully loaded
- app should check internet connectivity on location changing
- app should able to download pdf when users click on the links

Simplly, I want to have a webview and have most controls on it.

It is very appreciated to advise me with a sample code for understanding how to achieve to these goals.

 

Thank yo in advance

Hello Saghi,

Thanks for posting to the Telerik Developer Forums.

As to your questions.

- The app works just like a webview

Telerik Platform allows you to build hybrid mobile applications based on the Apache Cordova framework. This kind of applications are already implemented as a browser-based WebView within the native mobile platform.

Please, see below for more information on your use case.

- At the startup, app will open a url then users will work with the webpages

You can use the InAppBrowser sample to open an external URL

- app should detect each page's location (url string)

You can use window.location 

- app should call a javascript function of webpages after fully loaded

I am afraid that  this requirement is unclear. Can you elaborate? Usually, you app will consist of JavaScript code. You can also check this option of the InAppBrowser plugin.

- app should check internet connectivity on location changing

Yes, you can use the events of the InAppBrowser and check in them the network connectivity. You can refer to this sample about how to check the connection.

- app should able to download pdf when users click on the links

This is also listed in the InAppBrowser sample.

I hope that these answer your questions.
