An alternative to Android"s webview


Does anyone knows an alternative to Android's webview component ? For some reasons, it's functionality's are insufficient for me : I need to be able to catch every single request to some url, when i'm browsing a wml page (wap). Anyway, I need to be able to do stuff that Android's webview is not made for. I thought "hey, let's play with the source code, I'm pretty sure that webviews are using apache.org librairies to access internet". Oh boy was I mistaken. Webviews use native code, and that's where I'm stuck.



So I was wondering if anyone knew of another web browser view, in pure java, that would be open source and nice. It's not a problem if it's slow, i'm displaying some basic wap pages...



Thanks in advance.

  1. Try to see how was Opera Mini programmed.

    But I think you must program it if you want another one . But i would be surprised if it has a nice performance.

  2. Try this:

    goButton4.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://tory.com/");
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
    startActivity(intent);
    }
    });

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
