I've created Android App with the webview. When trying to sign in with Google, it first asks for username & password, then the screen with the message 'Please close this window' shows up & nothing happens.
Also, the user is not logged in.
P.S. This works absolutely fine with my mobile website which itself is ported to Android Webview App. Can anyone tell why that doesn't work? I'm completely new to Android.
Two things in webview create problems in google sign-in.
Using custom User-Agent and an AlertDialog in WebChromeClient to handle popups solve the issues for me.
Here's the full code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Context contextPop;
private WebView webViewPop;
private AlertDialog builder;
private String url = "https://example.com";
private WebView webView;
private String userAgent;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
webView = findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// to continue loading a given URL in the current WebView.
// needed to handle redirects.
return false;
}
});
webView.loadUrl(url);
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
// Set User Agent
//userAgent = System.getProperty("http.agent");
// the upper line sometimes causes "403: disallowed user agent error"
userAgent = "";
webSettings.setUserAgentString(userAgent + "Your App Info/Version");
// Enable Cookies
CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);
if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21)
CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptThirdPartyCookies(webView, true);
// WebView Tweaks
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setRenderPriority(WebSettings.RenderPriority.HIGH);
webSettings.setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT);
webSettings.setAppCacheEnabled(true);
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webSettings.setLayoutAlgorithm(WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.NARROW_COLUMNS);
webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
webSettings.setSaveFormData(true);
webSettings.setEnableSmoothTransition(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
// Handle Popups
webView.setWebChromeClient(new CustomChromeClient());
webSettings.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
webSettings.setSupportMultipleWindows(true);
contextPop = this.getApplicationContext();
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(webView.canGoBack()) {
webView.goBack();
}
else {
//super.onBackPressed();
// Terminate the app
finishAffinity();
System.exit(0);
}
}
class CustomChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {
@Override
public boolean onCreateWindow(WebView view, boolean isDialog,
boolean isUserGesture, Message resultMsg) {
webViewPop = new WebView(contextPop);
webViewPop.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// to continue loading a given URL in the current WebView.
// needed to handle redirects.
return false;
}
});
// Enable Cookies
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
cookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true);
if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
cookieManager.setAcceptThirdPartyCookies(webViewPop, true);
cookieManager.setAcceptThirdPartyCookies(webView, true);
}
WebSettings popSettings = webViewPop.getSettings();
// WebView tweaks for popups
webViewPop.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
webViewPop.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
popSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
popSettings.setSaveFormData(true);
popSettings.setEnableSmoothTransition(true);
// Set User Agent
popSettings.setUserAgentString(userAgent + "Your App Info/Version");
// to support content re-layout for redirects
popSettings.setLayoutAlgorithm(WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.SINGLE_COLUMN);
// handle new popups
webViewPop.setWebChromeClient(new CustomChromeClient());
// set the WebView as the AlertDialog.Builder’s view
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this, AlertDialog.THEME_DEVICE_DEFAULT_LIGHT).create();
builder.setTitle("");
builder.setView(webViewPop);
builder.setButton("Close", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
webViewPop.destroy();
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
builder.show();
builder.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE|WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM);
WebView.WebViewTransport transport = (WebView.WebViewTransport) resultMsg.obj;
transport.setWebView(webViewPop);
resultMsg.sendToTarget();
return true;
}
@Override
public void onCloseWindow(WebView window) {
//Toast.makeText(contextPop,"onCloseWindow called",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
try {
webViewPop.destroy();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("Webview Destroy Error: ", e.getStackTrace().toString());
}
try {
builder.dismiss();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("Builder Dismiss Error: ", e.getStackTrace().toString());
}
}
}
}
Here is the working code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

// private ProgressBar mProgress;

private String url = "http://m.example.com";

mainWebView.goBack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
finish();
}
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mContext = this.getApplicationContext();
// Get main webview
mainWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
progress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar);
progress.setMax(100);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
mainWebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
}
mainWebView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("example_android_app");
// Cookie manager for the webview
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
cookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true);
// Get outer container
mContainer = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.webview_frame);
if (!InternetConnection.checkNetworkConnection(this)) {
showAlert(this, "No network found",
"Please check your internet settings.");
} else {
// Settings

}

String host = Uri.parse(url).getHost();
Log.d("shouldOverrideUrlLoading", host);
//Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, host,

if (host.equals(target_url_prefix)) {
// This is my web site, so do not override; let my WebView load

if (mWebviewPop != null) {

mContainer.removeView(mWebviewPop);
mWebviewPop = null;
}
return false;
}

}
public void showAlert(Context context, String title, String text) {
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
context);
// set title

private class MyCustomChromeClient extends WebChromeClient {

return true;
}
@Override

}
@Override
public void onCloseWindow(WebView window) {
Log.d("onCloseWindow", "called");
}
}
}
mainWebView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("example_android_app");
fixed it for me
just changed mainWebView to what my webview was called. In my case, i set it to
webView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("example_android_app");
