Android WebView

Question

With reference to this WebView tutorial, in particular this method

private void setupWebView(){
    String MAP_URL = \"http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/sv         


        

Answer 1

Yes, webView.loadUrl() is asynchronous: it returns immediately and WebView keeps working in it's own thread.

To monitor WebView page loading use WebViewClient.onPageFinished(..):

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
        // do something here
    }
});
