Can I get Camera access in App Inventor Webviewer using CustomWebView Extension if Yes then How? Thank You

TheCodingBus · November 21, 2020, 2:45pm

I try this code but doesn't work

Salman_Dev · November 21, 2020, 3:51pm

I think you have to use this block too

vknow360 · November 22, 2020, 1:41am

Yes you can.

That method only works when webview requests for permissions and triggers OnPermissionRequest event.
Also your app should also have same permission which you want to grant to webview.

It still doesn't work please help

Try adding the AppInventor Camera component to get permission.

Also, if your test fails under the Companion, try again with an APK.

My website needs camera access from the browser if I use this site on chrome this works but on CustomWebView I'm not getting a pop-up to allow the camera. That's my code and website

This is an universal solution:

Also mostly websites need these permissions:

But why your blocks look different.

Error while using this app-:

vknow360 · November 22, 2020, 10:45am

Because you did not allow that permission.
Tap on allow when permissions are asked.

TheCodingBus · November 22, 2020, 11:11am

pop-up not showing that's why I use camera component and call it on button click so this will ask for permission. then I allow camera permission, but still doesn't work,
I'm doing something wrong?... please review my code.
Thank You
That's my code

vknow360 · November 22, 2020, 11:34am

Which version are you using?
Make sure you use latest version.

Also post an apk and aia.

TheCodingBus · November 22, 2020, 3:01pm

Version updated still doesn't work Here is my aia file. webviewextended (1).aia (78.3 KB)

michal_popoola · February 7, 2021, 10:34am

Me too don't know why

dora_paz · February 7, 2021, 11:21am

Have you tested with latest version v10 ? If not download it from GitHub

vknow360 · February 7, 2021, 11:45am

Try asking for permission manually when needed.
You can also use your own logic.
Copy-pasting is not a reliable solution.

Patryk_F · February 7, 2021, 12:09pm

I also tested. In the application settings, the permissions are granted to:

camera
location
microphone
storage

After starting the application, the error message 908 shown above still appears. Of course, version 10 of the extension.

vknow360 · February 7, 2021, 12:16pm

Show your blocks.
Also note that when you grant permission to webview then it is only granted to current webview so if you create another webview and visit same page, it will need those permissions again.

michal_popoola · February 7, 2021, 1:39pm

I tried it didn't work

michal_popoola · February 7, 2021, 1:40pm

What I want is for the code to visit Kingex.xyz/app
And grant it camera ,storage and Microphone permission
