Webview Example

saramarz
Here is a simple example of how to use a WebView in an Android app:

Code: 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private WebView webView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        webView = findViewById(R.id.webview);
        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
        webView.loadUrl("https://www.example.com");
    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        if (webView.canGoBack()) {
            webView.goBack();
        } else {
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }
}

You will need to add the INTERNET permission to your app's manifest file in order to use a WebView. To do this, add the following line to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

Code: 
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

You will also need to add the WebView element to your layout file. For example, you could add the following to your activity_main.xml layout file:

Code: 
<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Cannot rebuild after changing targetSdkVersion

Many thanks for your helpful response. After much experimentation, I discovered a message suggesting there was an Android Gradle Plugin update avaiable (I thought I'd done that, but maybe not). After upgrading to APG 4.2.2, I was able to get my project to build (after fixing a couple of other minor errors on the way).
I now have a load of "deprecated" messages but I can look into those in due course.
Thanks again for your help.

Suddenly lost all mobile signal.

This might not be relevant but your phone apparently does not include support for 5G cellular connectivity:
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s10e-9537.php
In the Settings menu, try disabling 5G so that forces your phone to only work with 4G/LTE again and see if that makes a difference.

(Keep in mind that 5G support in any smartphone involves a cellular radio chip that's typically soldered onto the phone's logic board, it's not something that can added in something like a software or even a new SIM card. It's a hardware matter, not software. So eventually, you do need give more serious thought to upgrading to a newer phone. Your S10e is coming up on four years old so it's still quite usable but increasingly out-of-date.)

Android Studio won't run apps due to unsigned driver

M
Thanks for the suggestions; however, as I have an AMD CPU, presumably Intel HAXM is not going to work? and as I am running Windows 8.1, the instructions about Windows 10 do not match my system.

I lodged a bug report with Google a few days ago; they said they have not tested Android Studio on Windows 8.1 for a while (!) and would try to reproduce the issue there. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/264616265

In the meantime I am using a real device to test via a USB connection; I also have BlueStacks installed but that is painfully slow.

Android to Android - Transfer Absolutely Everything!?

Sue Anderson said:
Got myself in a right muddle with my new phone which is a Google Pixel 7 Pro. I thought I had transferred everything from my old Huawei P30 Pro, but it seems I haven't. I've now taken my new phone back to factory to have another go.
Is there any way I can transfer absolutely everything, including ALL apps (and be logged in to everything) or am I asking too much? There's so many suggestions when I Google this that I don't know which way to turn.
Just want to be using my new phone as much as I can like it's the old one.... but better.
Any help would be so very much appreciated.

You can transfer all the data, but it is impossible to transfer all the apps and be logged in to everything.

Is there a better SMS voice to text than Google?

Google's Speech-to-Text service is generally regarded as pretty good to but since you're obviously not happy with it, there a several third-party options available to you in Google's Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=voice to text&c=apps&hl=en
Don't be surprised if this involves some trial and error as you try different apps until you find one that does what you expect in accordance with your Moto G and your own voice patterns.

If you're expecting 100% or even 90% accuracy, that's not a sure thing. Speech dictation involves a lot of system resources so even now it's still an evolving process as AI continues to expand and develop. When you are getting so pissed off at your phone because it can't do what you want, reset your expectations for your own mental health.

Seriously, it's very bad on this phone (and on a Pixel 2 that I had). I know this because I've downloaded another ap and it worked great, but it didn't show up as an option to take place of the Goggle SMS ap... so I had to speak and text, and then copy it and move over to the text that I wanted to respond to and then paste for each response.... too time consuming. I am thinking a AI or learning ap might be better if I can find something that will load on my phone to allow it to take place of Google's service.

Help A01 adaptable storage android update

G
Thank you for the eply.

Should have decribed a few things in more detail I guess. The card was formatted as internal with 25% added to internal memory and the rest used as SD - portable storage. It worked exactly as expected with apps being 'moved' to internal storage, and sosme music being played from the portable part. All worked well for 2y untill the system update.

Managed to fully reformat the SD card, it appears to work without issues, tried to follow the same process to format the SD in the phone again but for some reason it does not format the SD as internal + portable this time. It appears the instructions are completed in cmd but when checking the storage part in the phone it does not appear the way I expect it.

Some more trial and error is needed I guess.

Internal audio recorder app for S22 (and android tablets)

svim
Not quite sure just what you mean by '...record internal audio' as you're implying your phone has multiple audio processors in it that can concurrently send audio out signals to multiple sources. But there's just the one, and that handles all the audio in and audio out signals, and those get distributed accordingly (i.e. internal speakers or Bluetooth processor).
Anyway, I'm going to suggest you try 'Simple Voice Recorder' from Simple Mobile Tools. I've become a big fan of their products and their Simple Voice Recorder is Open Source (no ties to business influences) and free with no ads. Be sure to go into the app's Settings menu to initially set it up. (That's something you should do with all the apps you use.)

Help [Doubt] Android publishing app policies

svim
Keep in mind that pornography is a legal, valid job industry, it's just a matter where some people have personal, philosophical aversions to it. So if you're making an app and wish to avoid it from it even potentially being used by some pornography-related person or business from using it, you definitely don't want to have it publicly posted in any kind of open (well relatively), corporate repository like Google's Play Store. Start looking into religious or conservative markets where restricted access is a given.

Help Android Box lost system files and needs rebuild

svim
Your Seguro Trongle X4 is a budget-class set-top box, I wouldn't put too much time nor money in trying to restore it back into working condition. Get a Firestick, Chromecast, or Roku, they're actively supported and developed, and will allow you to interact with various streaming services in a more up-to-date way.

As a side note, doing a Factory Reset would not remove the Kodi app, it was manufacture-installed, system-level app so it's a preinstalled part of the Android firmware that's running on your X4 -- i.e. the Kodi app was present before you did the Factory Reset and would have still be present after the Factory Reset if it was successful. A Factory Reset only wipes the user data partition clean, it doesn't do anything to the other system-level partitions, where the installed operating system resides. If you did use the Factory Reset option in Recovery Mode instead of the option in the Settings menu, did you also experiment with the other options? If so, that might explain why it's stuck in a boot loop. Also, in one of your posted screen captures it shows an ADB message, did you delete and or alter anything via ADB? But whatever, I'd still suggest you just focus on getting a newer, better set-top or streaming content device. Life is too short wasting time on some things. And if you are averse to Kodi (I find that puzzling considering its capabilities), don't buy something with it pre-installed
