I'm working on an android application which uses a webview to open my site (url: learnportal.me) and then, upon entering the correct credentials, it will load a normal html page which has multiple links to download (those are all pdf/ppt/doc files).
All of this happens inside the webview.
All I want is the downloads to happen directly within the application itself, without any redirection to the default web browser in the mobile device.
Further more, I need the files to be downloaded to the SD card.
This is the MainActivity Page I'm currently working on... not sure if its correct though
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
WebViewClient client = new ChildBrowserClient();
webview.setWebViewClient(client);
WebSettings settings = webview.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
//webview.setInitialScale(1);
//webview.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
settings.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(false);
//settings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
settings.setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
settings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("http://learnportal.me");
//webview.setId(5);
//webview.setInitialScale(0);
//webview.requestFocus();
// webview.requestFocusFromTouch();
setContentView(webview);
}
