Load an SWF into a WebView

By User



I'm having problems with this. If I go to an SWF directly in the browser, it works fine. If I attempt to use loadUrl on an SWF file it stays blank and loads nothing.

    Figured it out. You have to enable plugins.

    webview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);

    Niky, you have a code example here.

    I 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);
    }
    }


    main.xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
    <WebView android:id="@+id/webView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    </WebView>
    </LinearLayout>


    Result:

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
