Android Question webview override

[merlin2049er]

Is there a seamless way to jump out of the webview to a sharing menu within the android framework?

Is that accomplished by using url override, or are there other methods?

If you have control over the showing website you could add a javascript interface to your webview and then you can call app methods from html code using the interface

Yes, basically. The app I'm working on insert gps co-ordinates into a url, and basically brings up the closes results.

Any examples?

something like this?

Ok, but he's got to get his website right before I can do anything with those javascript hooks.

As i wrote earlier... if YOU have control over the website... That means that you need to change the websitecode (html)to add the javascript code....

OR you inject a custom javascript to the site. Search the forum; @warwound has posted some examples about javascript injection

Yes, ok. Thanks!
