[Tutorial] How to create android mobile app for your Osclass website!

[qaximor]

It's really easy and you don't need any prior Java or Android development knowledge.

What you need is:
Eclipse
Java SDK
Android SDK
(I won't be getting into how to download and install them, please look for a tutorial on the internet there is a lot of them trust me!)
Mobile Plugin from the Plug in market to force mobile devices to go to the mobile version and if your theme already has mobile version supported then you don't need to install it.

So what you need is 3 codes to copy and paste, THAT'S IT.

First code you need to past in your activity_main.xml

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
          android:id="@+id/webview"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:scrollbars="none"/>
Second code you need to paste in your MainActicity class (Don't forget to edit your package name above! If you are not sure just copy paste as it is and then ALT+ENTER and eclipse will edit and write your package name.

Code: [Select]

package YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME_HERE;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import com.example.esouqbh.esouq.R;

public class MainActivity extends Activity
{@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //Remove title bar as we already have it in the web app
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    //Point to the content view defined in XML
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    //Configure the webview setup in the xml layout
    WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
    WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
    //Yes, we want javascript, pls.
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    //Make sure links in the webview is handled by the webview and not sent to a full browser
    myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
    //And let the fun begin
    myWebView.loadUrl("http://YOURWEBSITEURLHERE.com");    }}
NOTE: change http://YOURWEBSITEURLHERE.com to your website URL.

Third code you need to paste in AndroidManifest.xml is

Code: [Select]

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>Paste it right before </manifest>

Guess what? That's it! You just made your Osclass website into an android app!

That's great!

Would this also work with Android Studio?

[qaximor]

Yes of course!

It should work as it would in a normal browser of a phone. I tried uploading from my app and it works perfectly.. I have no idea how to fix your problem, sorry.

This sounds very interesting and will give it a shot, currently i have an app made by a third party to do just this, but has their ad plastered all over, so I will give this a shot.
I take it you just set up a new android app in the java ADT and just save it as an APK file?

Yep, didn't work, loads of errors come up when loading this into the ADT, ah well, worth a shot, i think its because it loads a blank template with all the imports already inlcuding package name, i think i just need to play with myview.load url part
