Android WebView Kotlin

Here is the tutorial for Java

A simple example of using WebView in an Android application:

There Are Some Common Attributes for WebView :

Step 1:

File open res/layout/activity_main.xml file −

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

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

</RelativeLayout>

Step2 :

Make sure to add the necessary permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml file if your web page requires internet access. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
    
   <!-- Internet permission-->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    
    
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/data_extraction_rules"
        android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_rules"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.NewTestProject"
        tools:targetApi="31">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:exported="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Step3 :

File open com.microappvalley.newtestproject/MainActivity.kt file −:

package com.microappvalley.newtestproject

import android.annotation.SuppressLint
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient
import android.webkit.WebView
import android.webkit.WebViewClient
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.ImageView
import android.widget.Switch
import android.widget.Toast

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var webView: WebView
    @SuppressLint("MissingInflatedId")
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        // Find the WebView by its id
        webView = findViewById(R.id.webView)

        // Enable JavaScript (optional, depending on your requirements)
        webView.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true

        // Set a WebViewClient to handle page navigation
        webView.webViewClient = WebViewClient()

        // Set a WebChromeClient to handle progress updates (optional)
        webView.webChromeClient = WebChromeClient()

        // Load a URL into the WebView
        webView.loadUrl("https://www.google.com")


    }
}

Open Device Manager, run the emulator, and  then run the application. Next, check the working output and check the output  you declared in your code.
