Search the forum for WebViewExtras.

You can get some inspiration from:

Signature Capturing with jSignature and WebViewExtras

Hi everyone: After several test, now I can use the jSignature javascript plugin I was using in my web, in my B4A app, in order to update my database from b4a the same way I'm doing in my web. I know there are some solutions to do this in B4A, but I need to do it this way because I was using it...

www.b4x.com

Sub Button1_Click
    Dim Javascript As String
    Javascript="B4A.CallSub('GetBase30', true, SendBase30())"
    WebViewExtras1.ExecuteJavascript(Javascript)
End Sub

Sub GetBase30(data As String)
    Label1.Text = data
End Sub

    Label1.Text = data
End Sub

I could not apply it
Is there an explanation?

I could not apply it

What error do you get?

You should have a javascript function in your webpage code, something like:

function GetEditText() {
    return document.getElementById('YourEditTextIDHere').value;   
}

And in your app something like:

Sub Button1_Click
    Dim Javascript As String 
    Javascript="B4A.CallSub('SetTextLabel', true, GetEditText())" 'First parameter, a sub in your app, third parameter, sub you want to call in your php (or whaterver) script
    WebViewExtras1.ExecuteJavascript(Javascript)
End Sub

Sub SetTextLabel(data As String)
    Label1.Text = data
End Sub

Post the errors you get or export your project as zip and upload to the forum

if all you want is a webpage as is, you don't need a webview. just download the page and assign the downloaded text to your edittext:

    Dim wjob As HttpJob
    wjob.Initialize("",Me)
    wjob.Download("https://www.google.com")
    Wait For (wjob) JobDone(wjob As HttpJob)
    If wjob.Success Then
       edittext1.text = wjob.GetString
       wjob.Release
    else
       log("download failed: " & wjob.ErrorMessage)
    end if

otherwise, you will need to get the javascript stuff mentioned above working

if all you want is a webpage as is, you don't need a webview. just download the page and assign the downloaded text to your edittext:

What I do exactly
Articles from sqlite database is displayed
Html encoding ready
It is displayed on WebView1
Because of the flexibility to specify text and text and paste for any part of the text in this tool
It has better display features than edittext1
Thank you, I will try to do it
