Smart WebView provides flexible options for handling URL navigation and choosing the app’s primary UI layout.

URL Handling

This controls how the app treats different types of links.

External Links:

You can configure how links that point to domains outside your main website are handled.

  • ASWP_EXTURL (true/false): If true, external links are opened outside the app. If false, all links are loaded inside the WebView.
  • ASWP_TAB (true/false): If ASWP_EXTURL is true, this determines whether to use integrated Chrome Custom Tabs (true) or the device’s default browser (false).
  • ASWV_EXC_LIST (String): A comma-separated list of domains that should be treated as internal, even if they don’t match your main ASWV_HOST.

Special URL Schemes:

The app intercepts URLs with specific prefixes to trigger native actions:

  • tel:*: Opens the default phone dialer.
  • rate:*: Opens the app’s page on the Google Play Store.
  • share:*: Opens the native sharing dialog to share content from the app.
  • exit:*: Closes the application.
  • print:*: Opens the native print dialog.
  • getloc:*: (For offline page) Fetches and displays GPS coordinates.
  • fcm:*: (For offline page) Triggers a test Firebase notification.

These are handled in the url_actions method in Functions.java.

UI Layout Modes

Configure the app’s main layout via the ASWV_LAYOUT variable in SmartWebView.java.

Mode 0: Fullscreen Layout (Default)

  • Description: The WebView occupies the entire screen. This is ideal for a simple, immersive web wrapper.

  • Layout Files: drawer_main.xml, drawer_main_bar.xml, etc.
  • Menu Definition: app/src/main/res/menu/activity_main_drawer.xml
