Android Question Setting text fields on webpage - solved needed v1.42 of WebViewExtras

[Robert Valentino]

Does anyone have an example of setting text fields on a webpage?

I want to go to a webpage and then populate the fields (it's a form webpage) from data I have saved.

I've read a lot of posts about reading them by haven't seen an example of setting them

I will know the field name on the page so this shouldn't be too hard but just unable to locate an example.

Once I populate the fields I have the user will fill in the rest of the fields (because specific to them) and send in the form

Any help or example would be nice

Thanks Bobval

Try this

mWebViewExtras.executeJavascript(sNYEI_FormsWebsite_Webview, "document.querySelector('input[name=field-104]').value = 'Some Value';")

 

[Robert Valentino]

mWebViewExtras.executeJavascript(sNYEI_FormsWebsite_Webview, " document.getElementsByName(""field-55"").value = 'FOB# 123';")

when compiled the ""field-55"" becomes "field-55" same as your 'field-55' I am just using double quotes instead of single

Wish I could let you try the real site (I have uploaded the webpage.txt) which is the source from the page.

But the site is password protected and I don't have the authorization to allow people access.

just to clarify, did you happen to see the image? stuffing a field works with webviewextras. several suggestions regarding the actual command (including mine) have been given. they may all work. the problem is: they don't (and cannot) work with the 2 url's you show in your project. the field to be stuffed is not found at either of those url's. the field to be stuffed is found at the page whose source you captured and uploaded to the forum as webpage.txt. the only way to see that page is to log in with the appropriate credentials. once you do that, you will see the full fill-in form. that is the page whose fob field i stuffed.

the login page is just another instance of a form. stuff that form first with userid and password, and when you get the full fill-in form, you can worry about stuffing the fob field. actually, no need to worry because we know it can easily be done.

Those URLs, bring me to the login page unless I am already logged in then they bring me to the home page and I manually naviagaite to the page I uploaded.

Then once I am at the right page I click a button that calls the routine to set the field

 

[drgottjr]

a puzzlement. unless the image photoshopped itself, the page you uploaded is stuffable. at least you know it can be done.

I am such a moron.

This morning I decided to verify the versions of my libraries.

Turns out I was using v1.40 of WebViews as soon as I switched to v1.42 everything works as nicely.

Sorry to put everyone through this for nothing.

Boy there is a feature the IDE could use (to let you know your downloaded libraries were out of date - LOL like Erel has nothing better to do)

Thanks for everyone that tried to help
