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.

Figured it out. You have to enable plugins.
ReplyDeletewebview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
Niky, you have a code example here.
ReplyDeleteI have used this example to test this code and confirm it works. In this example the qualibus.swf is in contained within the assets of the app. Please test this on an actual device, as on the emulator it show a blank page (probably the flash player is not present on the emulator)
Test3Activity.java:
package com.blabla.test3;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class Test3Activity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
String url ="file:///android_asset/qualibus.swf";
WebView wv=(WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
wv.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
wv.loadUrl(url);
}
}
