Webview Searching?

[Ksmith1192]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if you can use an edittext to search throughout a webview? Here is my code, it is really simple.
Thanks! :sign0104:

You can use reflection to call findAll method. This method will highlight the results and return the number of items found.

Sub Globals
   Dim WebView1 As WebView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Activity.LoadLayout("1")
   WebView1.LoadUrl("http://www.b4x.com")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Click
   Log(FindAll(WebView1, "Basic4android"))
End Sub

Sub FindAll (w As WebView, s As String) As Int
   Dim r As Reflector
   r.Target = w
   Return r.RunMethod2("findAll", s, "java.lang.String")
End Sub

Using Erel's code in the previous post, it does not highlight any text. It logs the number of occurences of the search, but there is no text highlighting. What else is missing?
Thank you

Are you running Android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4? There seems to be a bug in these versions and WebView.findAll.

@Erel: You are absolutely correct. I ran it on two OS 4.03 devices and both did not highlight the search. But then, after you mentioned it, I ran it on a an OS4.2 device and it did highlight the search.
Thank you

Erel, I tried adding in the code, but I keep getting java errors when I run the AVD emulator. Is there something I missed? Here is my program.

Which errors do you get?
