Kotlin Android – WebView – Example

Kotlin Android – WebView

Android AlertDialog class is used to display a web page embedded in the Android Activity. The web page could
be displayed in the same Android Application, without opening a browser window.

WebView could be used in your Android Application like any other View (say TextView, Button, etc.).

To display WebView in your Android Activity

1. Add permission for INTERNET in AndroidManifest.xml. Applications that make use of WebView require INTERNET
permission. To let Android know that our application require INTERNET, include the following line in
AndroidManifest.xml. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
2. Include Android WebView In layout fileYou can include following WebView snippet in Layout file to display WebView in
Activity.

WebView in Layout File

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

3. Load URL in WebView programmatically in Activity file. webView.loadUrl("https://www.google.com/")

Example – Android AlertDialog

In this Example Kotlin Android Application, we shall display a WebView and load “www.google.com url”.
