The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

You should use a Webview to display to webpage.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the official example from Google:

To fill the correct fields, check this answer:
Fill fields in webview automatically
First of all, you should check out if the website has the API.
ReplyDeleteIf they don't have the API,
In Firebug (in Firefox) or Developer Tools (in Chrome), goto Network Tab and see what POST is done.
Now that you know what is POSTed & to what URL, you have to do that using Java.
While doing the HTTP POST/GET requests in Java, you will also need to handle cookies (which your browser does automagically for you). For that you need something called a CookieJar. You can use that without using a cookiejar too as explained here but it's cumbersome.
So, read a tutorial here & get started.
If the website is using POST, which is the most likely case, you can simply use UrlEncodedFormEntity and HttpClient to do that
ReplyDeleteHttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(params);
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("www.thewebsiteyouwanttosubmitto.com/post.php");
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity());
client.execute(post, new ResponseHandler(){});
