If you're unfamiliar with Android, you should first familiarize
yourself with the [Android Platform Guide](index.html) and have the latest
Android
SDK installed before you attempt the more unusual development option
-of embedding a WebView. Starting with Cordova 1.9, the Android
-platform relies on a `CordovaWebView` component, which builds on a
-legacy `CordovaActivity` component that pre-dates the 1.9 release.
+of embedding a WebView. Starting with Cordova 4.0, the Android
+platform relies on a `SystemWebView` component.
1. To follow these instructions, make sure you have the latest Cordova
distribution. Download it from
[cordova.apache.org](http://cordova.apache.org) and unzip its
Android package.
-1. Navigate to the Android package's `/framework` directory and run
- `ant jar`. It creates the Cordova `.jar` file, formed as
- `/framework/cordova-x.x.x.jar`.
+1. Create a project in Android Studio
-1. Copy the `.jar` file into the Android project's `/libs` directory.
+1. Copy the framework directory into your project's root directory and
name it
+CordovaLib
+
+1. Add CordovaLib in your settings.gradle file
+
+include ':app', ':CordovaLib'
+
+1. Add that project as a library project to your main project. This can
be done in your application's build.gradle file found in
+app/build.gradle:
+
+ dependencies {
+ compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
+ compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
+ //Add Cordova below
+ debugCompile project(path: ":CordovaLib", configuration:
"debug")
+ releaseCompile project(path: ":CordovaLib", configuration:
"release")
+ }
1. Add the following to the application's `/res/xml/main.xml` file,
with the `layout_height`, `layout_width` and `id` modified to suit
the application:
- <org.apache.cordova.CordovaWebView
+ <org.apache.cordova.engine.SystemWebView
android:id="@+id/tutorialView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
-1. Modify the activity so that it implements the `CordovaInterface`.
- It should implement the included methods. You may wish to copy
- them from `/framework/src/org/apache/cordova/CordovaActivity.java`,
- or else implement them on your own. The following code fragment
- shows a basic application that relies on the interface. Note how
- the referenced view id matches the `id` attribute specified in the
- XML fragment shown above:
-
- public class CordovaViewTestActivity extends Activity implements
CordovaInterface {
- CordovaWebView cwv;
- /* Called when the activity is first created. */
- @Override
- public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
- super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
- setContentView(R.layout.main);
- cwv = (CordovaWebView) findViewById(R.id.tutorialView);
- Config.init(this);
- cwv.loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
- }
+1. Add the following code to setup your Activity so that you have an
interface
-1. If the application needs to use the camera, implement the
- following:
+ private CordovaInterfaceImpl iface = new
CordovaInterfaceImpl(this);
+
+1. Add the following to intialize the WebView
+
+ //Set up the webview
+ ConfigXmlParser parser = new ConfigXmlParser();
+ parser.parse(this);
+
+ SystemWebView webView = (SystemWebView)
findViewById(R.id.tutorialView);
+ webInterface = new CordovaWebViewImpl(new
SystemWebViewEngine(webView));
+ webInterface.init(iface, parser.getPluginEntries(),
parser.getPreferences());
+
+ webView.loadUrl(parser.getLaunchUrl());
+
+
+1. Copy the application's HTML and JavaScript files to the Android

> Fix For: 5.0.0
>
>
> We broke the embedded webview use case for Android 4.0.x. and it's currently
> difficult to embed a webview without some gradle editing. We should probably
> work on getting the Embedded WebView use case to work out of the box for
> Gradle, and in the meantime document all the workarounds for getting an
> embedded webview in Android Studio to actually work.
