Hi there,
in older android SDK versions it was possible to load custom NPAPI
plugins into the WebView through reading them from assets and writing
them into the filesystem at the apps data directory, for example
something along the lines:
webview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
webview.getSettings().setPluginsPath("/data/data/com.foo.app");
webview.setWebViewClient(new NetworkAccess());
in order to have a WebView instance with NPAPI plugin support for
plugins in that directory.
In Android 2.0 SDK this mechanism does not seem to work anymore and
the WebSettings.setPluginsPath() method seems to be deprecated:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html#setPluginsPath(java.lang.String).
Can anyone confirm this is a final decision or just a bug? Are custom
NPAPI plugins aren't going to be supported in the future anymore?
Would be a shame if that'll be the case ;(
Kind regards,
Anselm
