How to insert html code in Android app created with Sketchware

How to insert HTML code to Android app created with Sketchware?

If you are not using Sketchware, you need to know that it is an Android app which can be used to develop real android apps using block language, directly on your Android device. Download Sketchware

Here is a step by step guide to inserting HTML code into your app in Sketchware.

Step 1
Start new project and fill details in project settings.

Step 2
In your app View in Main.xml or any other page where you want to insert HTML code, insert webview widget.

Step 3
Now go to Logic of your page (MainActivity.java for Main.xml) and in onCreate event use following block:
WebView ......... loadUrl .............

Now fill this block as below:
WebView webview1 loadUrl data:text/html, <html > <title> </title> <body> Write your HTML code here. </body> </html>

Step 4
Also add onBackPressed event and use following blocks:
If webview1 canGoBack
   WebView webview1 goBack
else
   FinishActivity

Step 4
Save and Run your app. Your app will show contents of your HTML code at the place where webview is located.

You can use CSS and JavaScript in your code. You can insert links to gif and images.

To enable the links in the HTML code, and to enable JavaScript in the HTML code, insert the following code using 'add source directly' block in onCreate.

WebSettings webSettings=webview1.getSettings(); webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webSettings.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true); if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) { webSettings.setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true); webSettings.setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true); }

      You can either write the web url of image in html, or you have to create assets folder, add image and link to it using apk editor pro.

      you can embed the image as base64 if you use this technique (url containing html code)

      It works well with local html file and jpeg files in assets folder but not with insert code method

    2. sanjeevAugust 2, 2017 at 5:25 AM

      Yes links do not work when you insert a html file in assets folder. Also JavaScript do not work, because they are not enabled.

      You can inject codes to make them work, but I am not aware of the codes.

    4. sanjeevAugust 2, 2017 at 7:27 AM

      I have updated the code to be inserted by code injection to enable external links and to enable JavaScript.
