    text
    copied!<p>I am coding an app which uses a webview to display HTML files. When the user clicks search this code is ran:</p> <pre><code>public void search() { container = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layoutId); nextButton = new Button(this); nextButton.setText("Next"); nextButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){ @Override public void onClick(View v){ mWebView.findNext(true); } }); container.addView(nextButton); closeButton = new Button(this); closeButton.setText("Close"); closeButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){ @Override public void onClick(View v){ container.removeAllViews(); } }); container.addView(closeButton); findBox = new EditText(this); findBox.setMinEms(30); findBox.setSingleLine(true); findBox.setHint("Search"); findBox.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener(){ @Override public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event){ if((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &amp;&amp; ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))){ mWebView.findAll(findBox.getText().toString()); try{ Method m = WebView.class.getMethod("setFindIsUp", Boolean.TYPE); m.invoke(mWebView, true); }catch(Exception ignored){} } return false; } }); } </code></pre> <p>The code I'm using runs fine generally, with some bugs in Android 4.0. I would like a solution as presented in the Android Browser, where the top bar becomes the search area.</p> <p>When I have tried to implement this I have failed. Is there a way to properly implement this into a webview for an Android application? I would like a more elegant and functional design than what I currently use.</p> <p>Thank you to all replies</p> <p><em>Edit</em></p> <p>For users in the future, this bug is only present in the following Android version:</p> <pre><code>Platform Version API Level VERSION_CODE Android 4.0.3, 4.0.4 15 ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1 </code></pre>
