3. Copy the following and paste into “MainActivity.java”
package app.mitindia.com.mywebappprogressbar;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.ProgressBar;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private WebView webView;
private EditText urlEditText;
private ProgressBar progress;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
urlEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.urlField);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
progress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
progress.setVisibility(View.GONE);
Button openUrl = (Button) findViewById(R.id.goButton);
openUrl.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
String url = urlEditText.getText().toString();
if (validateUrl(url)) {
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl(url);
}
}
private boolean validateUrl(String url) {
return true;
}
});
}
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
progress.setVisibility(View.GONE);
MainActivity.this.progress.setProgress(100);
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
}
@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
progress.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
MainActivity.this.progress.setProgress(0);
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
public void setValue(int progress) {
this.progress.setProgress(progress);
}
}
4. Run the project and see the following output.
