Add a Progress Bar in WebView

Question
I am trying to add a progress/loading bar to my application that uses WebView
. I am confused on how to implement a progress bar that appears every time a link is clicked.
Current code:
public class CULearnBrowser extends Activity {
WebView webview;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("https://culearn.colorado.edu/webct/entryPageIns.dowebct");
}
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && webview.canGoBack()) {
webview.goBack();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
Activity layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello" />
</LinearLayout>
Solution
This link may help you.
I have added few lines in your code and now its working fine with progress bar.
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
setContentView(R.layout.main );
// Makes Progress bar Visible
getWindow().setFeatureInt( Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS, Window.PROGRESS_VISIBILITY_ON);
webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress)
{
//Make the bar disappear after URL is loaded, and changes string to Loading...
setTitle("Loading...");
setProgress(progress * 100); //Make the bar disappear after URL is loaded
// Return the app name after finish loading
if(progress == 100)
setTitle(R.string.app_name);
}
});
webview.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
OTHER TIPS
in oncreate method where you have set your Webview.
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.web_view);
web_view = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view);
pd = new ProgressDialog(SiteOpenInWebView.this);
pd.setMessage("Please wait Loading...");
pd.show();
web_view.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
web_view.loadUrl("ur site name");
}
WebViewClient
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
if (!pd.isShowing()) {
pd.show();
}
return true;
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
System.out.println("on finish");
if (pd.isShowing()) {
pd.dismiss();
}
}
}
pass your url in this method
private void startWebView(String url) {
WebSettings settings = webView.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(ContestActivity.this);
progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
progressDialog.show();
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
if (progressDialog.isShowing()) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
}
}
@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
Toast.makeText(ContestActivity.this, "Error:" + description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
webView.loadUrl(url);
}
Put a progress bar and the webview inside a relativelayout and set the properties for the progress bar as follows,
- Make its visibility as GONE.
- CENTRE it in the Relativelayout.
and then in onPageStarted() of the webclient make the progress bar visible so that it shows the progressbar when you have clicked on a link. In onPageFinished() make the progress bar visiblility as GONE so that it disappears when the page has finished loading... This will work fine for your scenario. Hope this helps...
Here is the code that I am using:
Inside WebViewClient:
@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
findViewById(R.id.progress1).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
findViewById(R.id.progress1).setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
Here is the XML :
<ProgressBar
android:id="@+id/progress1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Hope this helps..
The best approch which worked for me is
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
mProgressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.VISIBLE);
webView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
@Override public void onPageCommitVisible(WebView view, String url) {
super.onPageCommitVisible(view, url);
mProgressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);
webView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
isWebViewLoadingFirstPage=false;
}
}
You can try this code into your activity
private void startWebView(WebView webView,String url) {
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
ProgressDialog progressDialog;
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return false;
}
@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
public void onLoadResource (WebView view, String url) {
if (progressDialog == null) {
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(SponceredDetailsActivity.this);
progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
progressDialog.show();
}
}
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
try{
if (progressDialog.isShowing()) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
progressDialog = null;
}
}catch(Exception exception){
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl(url);
}
Call this method using this way:
startWebView(web_view,"Your Url");
Sometimes if URL is dead it will redirected and it will come to onLoadResource() before onPageFinished method. For this reason progress bar will not dismis. To solve this issue see my this Answer.
Thanks :)
I try dismis progress on method onPageFinished(), but not good too much, it has time delay to render webview.
try with onPageCommitVisible() better:
val progressBar = ProgressDialog(context)
progressBar.setCancelable(false)
progressBar.show()
val url = "your url here"
web_container.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
web_container.loadUrl(url)
web_container.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {
override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView, url: String): Boolean {
view.loadUrl(url)
progressBar.show()
return true
}
override fun onPageFinished(view: WebView?, url: String?) {
super.onPageFinished(view, url)
}
override fun onPageCommitVisible(view: WebView?, url: String?) {
super.onPageCommitVisible(view, url)
progressBar.dismiss()
}
}
web_container.setOnKeyListener(View.OnKeyListener { _, keyCode, event ->
if (keyCode == KEYCODE_BACK && event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP
&& web_container.canGoBack()) {
web_container.goBack()
return@OnKeyListener true
}
return@OnKeyListener false
})
