get content of webview in nativescript

Question

Is there a way I can read the content of webview after the page is loaded ?

The reason is redirect (like window.location.replace or window.location.href ) is not workin

You could look at this post. installs a library that allows communication with the webview through observables. Right now I'm using it myself and it's great for both iOS and Android

1- install: tns plugin add nativescript-webview-interface 2- in web project copy plugin file cp node_modules/nativescript-webview-interface/www/nativescript-webview-interface.js app/www/lib/ 3- code: xml:

var webViewInterfaceModule = require('nativescript-webview- 
interface');
var oWebViewInterface;

function pageLoaded(args){
page = args.object;
setupWebViewInterface(page) 
}

function setupWebViewInterface(page){
var webView = page.getViewById('webView');
oWebViewInterface = new 
webViewInterfaceModule.WebViewInterface(webView, '~/www/index.html');
}

function handleEventFromWebView(){
oWebViewInterface.on('anyEvent', function(eventData){
    // perform action on event
});
}

function emitEventToWebView(){
    oWebViewInterface.emit('anyEvent', eventData);
}

function callJSFunction(){
    oWebViewInterface.callJSFunction('functionName', args, function(result){

    });
}

web-view:

web-view js:

    var oWebViewInterface = window.nsWebViewInterface;

// register listener for any event from native app
oWebViewInterface.on('anyEvent', function(eventData){

});

// emit event to native app
oWebViewInterface.emit('anyEvent', eventData);

// function which can be called by native app
window.functionCalledByNative = function(arg1, arg2){
    // do any processing
    return dataOrPromise;
}
