Crosswalk call Java method from JavaScript

I'm using crosswalk now. I need to call a Java method when a user clicks a button in the HTML, which may look like:

<a href="#" onclick="callJava()">Start</a>

I'm not sure if Crosswalk extension is what I wanted, which seems to be so heavy-weighted just for calling a Java function.

Is there a simpler way to do this? Or should I use Cordova with Crosswalk in this case?

Solution

  • If you are only using XWalkView as an embedded view, the addJavascriptInterface is sufficient to inject Java object into XWalkView(JavaScript), which is just like the addJavascriptInterface in android.webkit.WebView:
