App to open a website

[endomorph]

Hi all, new to the site and to Basic4Android.

I have been writing apps using the online providers such as Apps geyser but want to get into programming myself.

The main type of app I write is one which opens a specific website when the app is opened.

Could someone give me an example of code for this and is it possible to test on the trial version. I want to try things out before I purchase it. I have had a couple of attempts using snippets I found but when I compile it errors out saying about missing libraries.

Thanks

Hi,

Here's a sample code :

Dim intent1 As Intent
intent1.Initialize(intent1.ACTION_VIEW, "http://www.google.com")
StartActivity(intent1)

or within your app :

Dim wvBrowser As WebView
wvBrowser.Initialize("")
Activity.AddView(wvBrowser, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
wvBrowser.LoadUrl("http://www.google.com")

Thanks for that. The first piece worked for what I want but it opens the browser with a titled window.

I have edited the manifest to -

AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen")

But it's still showing.

Any ideas ?

Actually I correct this. The app opens full screen then swaps to the browser with the address bar

Use the second option that was shown and you can set the title off in the IDE.
