Android & iOS Mobile Apps

I noted that as I opened an account immediately after I posted to check out. Thank you datitisev

I also noted that the android app webview code provided is very basic and is not really an advanced version. For instance, it relies on JS / CSS / images files from the website / server instead of providing and use them from the app itself.

I think a faster loading app would use whatever files that are possible to be added to the app itself instead of getting it from the website / server. In this page for example, forum-8451c64f.cs, forum-08315986.js, forum-en-df77f08d.js may be added to the app assets and run from it.

To determine other/all flarum static files that can be included in the app, look into flarum source code or ask flarum developer.

0E800 you could set the actionbar to collapse on scroll

chamath this is good, does it use google chromeview ? i was considering building one in crosswalk as to support file uploads on android 4.4 kitkat which isn't supported in webview.

chamath

witech Its using https://github.com/delight-im/Android-AdvancedWebView which have made the support for file uploads , Did you test upload on 4.4 ?

witech

chamath I only have access to 4.4.4 which I can confirm your webview has file upload support.

chamath

ahrasis Yes. Firebase provides free push notifications.

witech

@chamath after further testing it seems versions below 4.4.4 don't work so 4.4.1/4.4.2/4.4.3 kitkat versions do not have file upload support. Apart the overall functionality seems solid.

Functions to add I would suggest a reload btn or swipetorefresh, and an offline screen for no connection available.

chamath

witech Thanks for the testing. above KitKat means a lot of market share ? ..
Lets do some updates soon ?

Great work! Right on, chamath, and keep going! ?

0E800

punit2502
To add your code that fixed the issue. You did not share or explain what you did to resolve the issue.

Was it by altering OP source code or by some other means?

punit2502

0E800 By Adding the following code:

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
	@Override
	public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
		mPbar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
	}

public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
	mPbar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
	if (!url.contains("whatsapp://")) {
	    Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
	    startActivity(browserIntent);

	    return true;
	    }

	return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
	}

});

wondering if you can show us how to integrate with firebase.
newb in android apps
thanks.

I have to admit I love how it was implemented, the only issue that I find is that WelcomeActivity.java wasn't used for adding a URL over how it is implemented within the MainActivity.java, either way great job!

Felli

@chamath Just sent a PR, I'm hoping that it is to your liking?

chamath

Felli Thats awesome work Felli ? .
I have merged the PR and
