i try to make a simple webview app for this interactive map: http://gta5online.com/map/interactive > there is also a fullscreen link below the map.

now i created an asset folder and included the "interactive" folder which has all the files, icons, map tiles and html document in it.

i want to load the html document from there into a activity as a webview. so its a local file. i want the app to handle it not the default browser.

here is what i did by now:

i created a new project and added those codes into the activity_home.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"

WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/interactive/map.html");
/>

then i added this code to enable internet access in to manifest even if its a local html doc that i want to load (for later uses):

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

i also enabled javascript at the first code block as you can see.

should i've put some code into the home.java file too?

in a YT tutorial i saw that he used something like this in the java file:

      #in mainactivity.java
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    String url ="file:///android_asset/interactive/map.html";
    WebView view=(WebView) this.findViewById(R.id.webView);
    view.getSettings() .setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    view.loadUrl(url);

can someone please help a noob to achieve this by explaining what i did wrong and simple steps how to complete this app?. i'm sure its simple for you guys even if its that hard for me.

Be very careful in Android, you can never place Java code into XML code.

This code:

WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();

myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/interactive/map.html");
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

In your activity_home.xml file must be only this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

    What is the your problem? Your java code (in your question) put in your MainActivity.java file in onCreate override method. Like this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/3152441/2738172 – walkmn Nov 02 '15 at 15:05
  • hey thanks for answer man. my problem is i'm a beginner. there was some other code inside the java folder as a standard i guess: – serdox Nov 02 '15 at 15:13
