Enabling general JavaScript in WebViewClient

Question

While searching for an answer in google, it seems that I\'m not the only one stuck with a problem that seems impossible to solve.

I\'ve managed to create a WebView w

Answer 1

Do "Javascript-URLs" get routed through shouldOverrideUrlLoading? Try checking that and if so, return false for links like that (so that the webview handles the link, not your WebViewClient)

Answer 2

How enable programmatically answered in other answers. But some javascripts not worked if your webview is in nestedscrollview. Remove it and add webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

Answer 3

What happened in my case : I was serving local html files and when applying

    web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    web.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);

but then my urls stopped working. Solution to make both JS and local href work was to add

    web.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
    web.getSettings().setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true);

where

    web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.embedded_web);

Answer 4

Try this to enable javascript

WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
myWebView.loadUrl(url);

Answer 5

The proper way to enable JavaScript is by add the below two lines:

mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);

Even if after adding its not working then try adding the below line.

mWebView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);

Now It should work. :)

Answer 6

I don't know what your exact problem is, but i can enable the JavaScript and a custom WebViewclient without any problem:

WebView vistaWeb = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
vistaWeb.setWebChromeClient(new MyCustomChromeClient(this));
vistaWeb.setWebViewClient(new MyCustomWebViewClient(this));
vistaWeb.clearCache(true);
vistaWeb.clearHistory();
vistaWeb.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
vistaWeb.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
