How does evaluateJavascript work?

Question

I\'m trying to use the new evaluateJavascript method in Android 4.4, but all I ever get back is a null result:

webView1.evaluateJavascript(\"return \\\"test\         


        

Answer 1

Important hint:
Before calling evaluateJavascript you have to enable JavaScript for your WebView. Otherwise you get no result.

WebSettings settings = yourWebview.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
