Need help with simple search function.

[FDisk]

Totally :sign0104: question guys.

I have a [search text box] and a [search button]
A URL hxxp://mysitehere.com/find.php?text=

What I'm trying to do is this:
The text that I type in the [search text box] to be added to the end of the URL and go to that webview when [search button] is pressed.

For example if I type "chicago"
I would like it to go to hxxp://mysitehere.com/find.php?text=chicago

Thanks for helping.

Hi FDisk,

You need the Phone library, which gives acces to your device's browser.

If your URL and search text are in variables or views (e.g. Url and Search) you can call :

StartActivity (PhoneIntents.OpenBrowser(Url.Text & Search.Text))

and your browser will be opened with the requested page.

You can have at look at Basic4android - Phone

Awesome! Thanks BasicBert :sign0188:
I actually played with it for a while and found the solution myself.
Did it like this. Workes just like I wanted. :icon_clap:

Sub Globals
   Dim WebView1 As WebView
   Dim EditText1 As EditText
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("project1")
   WebView1.LoadUrl("hxxp://mysitehere.com")
End Sub

Sub Button5_Click
   WebView1.LoadUrl("hxxp://mysitehere.com/find.php?text="&EditText1.Text)
End Sub

Hi FDisk,

:sign0142:
If just 1 word from me, a :sign0104:, was helpfull to you, I'm happy.
Just because it's my first response to someone else's question in stead of my own.

I have not (yet) used a webview myself, so I'm learning from you too. I might have to use it later.

Reading other posts, even ones that you think may not apply to yourself, is a great source of examples and help and brings you idea's.
