Android

This course covers various aspects of building Android applications, focusing on creating robust and efficient apps. The course is divided into several modules, accompanied by quizzes and coding challenges that will test your understanding of the course.

You’ll start with an overview, which introduces the Android platform and its key features. Then, you will learn the various Android layouts and UI components—how to create and use different layouts, fragments, and custom views. Moreover, you’ll practically learn about activity and lifecycle management, and how to handle images and work with RecyclerViews.

Next, the course covers Android UI components such as bottom navigation bars, alert dialogs, and web views. You’ll learn about intents, notifications, threading, services, app permissions, user location, and Firebase services—including authentication, real-time databases, storage, and cloud messaging.

By the end of the course, you will be able to create functional and well-performing Android applications.

Android Development Masterclass

# Introduction

In this lesson, we’ll learn how to display web content within our app. The Android SDK comes bundled with the `WebView` class, which allows us to display web pages in the activity layout. By default, the `WebView` class simply shows a web page and doesn’t include features such as navigation controls, address bars, and so on. We can customize the experience by building on top of the base class. We’ll first see an example of how to embed a web page inside our app, and then we’ll see how to parse HTML content and display it in a `WebView`. We’ll also go over some of the common customizations offered by the `WebView` class.

# Working with `WebView`
In this section, we'll go through the basic usage of the `WebView` element. 
## Displaying a web page

We need to add the `WebView` element in the activity layout to display web pages. 

```
<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
```

Next, in the activity class file, we’ll use the `loadUrl` method to specify the web URL to be displayed in the `WebView`. 

```
val myWebView: WebView = findViewById(R.id.webview)
myWebView.loadUrl("https://www.educative.io/")
```

## Displaying custom HTML content

To display HTML content, we need to use the `loadData` method. 

Get introduced to the basic usage of a web view in Android and learn how to use the different customizations it offers.
