My Application is a news App. composed of 5 Tabs or More (this will be a setting based on each user's requirement).
When the application Start I create the 5 Tabs dynamically and create a webview as an intent for each Tab, I just need to pass the URL for each tab to the intent here's my Code.
This is the main activity
package news.mobile;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.widget.TabWidget;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TabHost.TabSpec;
import android.content.Intent;
public class NewsMobile extends TabActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
TabHost tabHost = getTabHost();
// Here I create the tabs dynamically.
for(int i=0;i<5;i++){
tabHost.addTab(
tabHost.newTabSpec("tab"+i)
.setIndicator("Politics")
// I need to pass an argument to the WebviewActivity to open a
// specific URL assume it is "http://mysite.com/?category="+i
.setContent( new Intent(this, WebviewActivity.class)));
}
tabHost.setCurrentTab(0);
}
}
This is my Webview Creator Activity
package news.mobile;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class WebviewActivity extends Activity {
WebView browse;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
browse=new WebView(this);
setContentView(browse);
// I need the following line to read an argument and add it to the url
browse.loadUrl("http://mysite.com/?category=");
}
}
You can use Bundle like this
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
String url = "http://www.google.com";
bundle.putString("urlString", url);
Intent intent = new Intent(ThisActivity.this, NewActivity.class);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(intent);
