webViewShow() needs close and reopen APIs #196

I'm using Perl and webViewShow, is there a way to switch html pages by 
re-issuing another webViewShow?

I've been able to use waitForEvent, receiveEvent and postEvent to change 
style="display: block;" to style="display: none;" through Javascript and Perl.  
But, I'm looking at building a more sophisticated application.  I've tried 
calling webViewShow again with no results.

I'm on the Sl4a r3 and Android 2.2

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jack

Also, when I exit the Perl script, the webview will not close.  I've tried 
useing window.close() inside of the webview with no effect.

Please give me a recommendation on how to close the webview.

Thanks
Jack

I use a python script and even the sys.exit() doesn't close the web page.
I don't know how to do it.

I use webViewShow and after refresh page in webview (javascript 
location.replace() ) script for waitForEvents in page is not function. And 
webViewShow should not close.

Is there a suggested work around?  Or, will this be fixed soon?  I have several 
apps ready to release but this is a show stopper for me.

Thanks

Sorry, no ETA. Also, there's no workaround that I'm aware of.

surely the ability to close can be patched through the API from the webview 
class in the android library...?

Hello guys, here are 2 patches that add methods from the webview to dismiss it.

The java patch adds the needed wrappers using the standard Android JS 
interface, while the js patch simply exposes the dimiss method in the Android 
object when you are in JS.

Sorry Robbie but I have no freaking idea on how to clone your repository and do 
a pull request like I do on gitorious. Can you commit it please? I made them 
against your tree.

Hello everybody

Can anyone say me how to apply these patches? I need to close webviews in a 
SL4A development, but I don't know how to make it :(

im not shure but try that

move *.diff files to sdcard, run sl4a and open shell interpreter and type

$applypatch -c /sdcard/download/HtmlActivityTask.java.diff
$applypatch -c /sdcard/download/android.java.diff

I have a few questions about the patches submitted by Manuel:
1) have they been incorporated in the latest releases (I am using  sl4a_r5x)
2) if not, has someone successfully applied them to a some version? which one?
3) assuming I have a patched sl4a, how do I dismiss a webView?

Finally, I had to desist to use sl4a because after seven clicks in buttons, the 
app always was broken.

I opened this issue originally.  I have since abandoned sl4a and moved to Java. 
 I was using Perl and sl4a with WebView for all user interactions.  It was a 
neat solution, but, too many problems and a lot of shortcomings. sl4a allowed 
me to re-use a lot of my pre-existing Perl code from other applications.  sl4a 
needs more time to mature.

In the latest sl4a (r6_3) this issue has been resolved -- narajo's patch was 
apparently applied.  Now, you just need to call:

droid.dismiss()

from JavaScript to exist the webview. Works great!
