[android-developers] Re: Destroy WebView without leaking window
Thanks for your response.
accomplish? I'm asking because these dialogs are modal. All interaction and
app reactions are meant to take place within the scope of that dialog until
*the user* makes it disappear by pressing a button. It is pretty unusual
that the activity wants to finish while a dialog is still open.
The user pre-configures a timeout by which he wants the javascript
execution to have ended, that's what I'm trying to implement.
Another thing comes to my mind. The last time I had to play around with
WebView (about a year ago) there was actually no alert popup support out of
the box.
It's definitely there now.
I don't know whether the latest API versions changed something about that
but you must be using a WebView which has an overridden, customized
WebChromeClient that is responsible for creating these JavaScript alert
dialogs in the first place.
No, you can just put an alert('hello') in, at least on my Nexus S
4.0.4.
So whatever code you are using there must be custom WebChromeClient that
creates the dialog. Look for that code and change it in a way so you can
dispose the dialog prior finishing the activity.
I'd prefer to use the default implementation, but I guess if I can't
solve the problem I could
implement the dialogs myself, thanks for the tip.
I tried putting a JS setTimeout() at the start of the script BTW but
alerts seem to take over the timer.

p.s. I'm not a JS programmer if that's not obvious :-)

I decided to implement the three dialog functions so I can cleanly remove the dialog if necessary, it's not particularly complicated it seems. Probably better backwards compatibility too.

[android-developers] Re: Destroy WebView without leaking window
Have you tried subclassing WebView and calling super.destroy() from onDetachedFromWindow()? Calling webView.destroy() is not a problem, I do that before calling finish() on the activity. Nevertheless I tried what you suggest with the same result, unfortunately. Even after the webView.destroy() call, and confirmation in the system log: D/webviewglue(17480): nativeDestroy view: 0x739ae8 The javascript dialog is still visible.

I need to ask why are you trying to do that or what are you trying to accomplish? I'm asking because these dialogs are modal. All interaction and app reactions are meant to take place within the scope of that dialog until *the user* makes it disappear by pressing a button. It is pretty unusual that the activity wants to finish while a dialog is still open. So what happens in the background? What is the purpose of your activity and why does it finish while a JavaScript alert dialog is still open? Another thing comes to my mind.
