This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.

Webviews are useful where you want to format a dynamic page, for example, you retrieve some data from sqlite and want to display it in a HTML table.

If you want to embed links or buttons in the HTML, you need a way to pass data back to DS: use app.Execute.

Below is an example with two buttons, pressing a button raises a popup and displays the text passed back from the webview.

<code JavaScript execute.js>
function OnStart() 

{ 
    var appjs='<script src="file:///android_asset/app.js"></script>';

    // note the backslashes escaping the single quotes below

    var myjs = '<script type="text/javascript">' +
                ' function myboo(id){ app.Execute("b_test(\'" + id + "\')")}</script>' ;


    lay = app.CreateLayout("linear", "VCenter,FillXY");     

    web = app.CreateWebView(0.8, 0.8);   
  
    lay.AddChild(web); 
    app.AddLayout(lay); 

    var b1 = "<button id= 'boo' onclick=myboo(id)>say boo</button>";
    var b2 = "<button id='bah' onclick=myboo(id)>say bah</button>"; 

    web.LoadHtml(appjs + myjs + b1 + b2);

    
} 


function b_test(x) { app.ShowPopup(x); };
