In Logic area of your project, in onCreate event add the WebView loadUrl block and write Url of your site in it.


Now add a new event, namely 'On back button press', in your app Logic area. On in On back button press, use if..else.. block. Add Webview goBack block as shown in image below. It should read, if WebView canGoBack then WebView goBack else Finish Activity.

    After loading my webpage inside my app..

    when I scroll down a bit (say 10 times) and from there.. click to navigate to another webpage from my initial webpage..
    The new page which is loaded, retains the same extent of scrolling down - done in my previous webpage.

    Is there any way to sort this out?

      It should not happen. Don't add Scrollview, and check again.

    => Visit the Official Website of Sub Solution for the Best Discount Brand Overview: Makers of synthetic urine like Urinator have taken things a step further by leveraging technology. The Urinator is a high-tech device that is all about accurately regulating the temperature of synthetic urine. Here is what you will find in the Urinator – or some may also call it the urine-test-terminator: • 100ml medical-grade IV bag with attached tube • 60ml syringe • 3 powdered urine vials • Thermometer • 2 temperature strips • Battery-powered heating element Pros: • Reusable kit for future drug tests • An insulated blanket covering the IV bag is designed for secure concealment • Self-regulated heating element will keep the heat contained • Medical grade IV bag safely seals synthetic urine and eliminates cross-contamination • Vinyl tubing with clamps allows for easy control over the flow of synthetic urine • An instruction manual is included for ease of use. Cons: • It does not come with pre-mixed synthetic urine • Batteries for the heating device are not included • Price falls in the ‘quite expensive’ category Features: One of the main risks involved with synthetic urine is that it sometimes cannot mimic the exact body temperature. The Urinator is made just for this purpose. Instead of including heating pads or powders, the kit has an electrical heating device that runs on 9V batteries. Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/
