Sry silly question... ofc CustomWebView is itself a Dynamic Component

I wanted to create it via DynamicComponentsExtension and asked myself why it didn't work like it supposed to do for me

vknow360 · July 17, 2020, 8:26am

Yes after latest update of his extension.
But there is no need to use it with his extension if you are using a version greater than >= v6.

I got this error when trying to create a WebView in Vertical Scroll Arrangement:

ScrollView can host only one direct child

Any reason?

No need to discuss, just something I ranodmly discovered, this is not a problem

Oh yeah! This is EXACTLY what I needed!!! Thank you very much! I wanted to make a Slideshow with Gifs, and this is now possible thanks to you!

vknow360 · July 17, 2020, 8:40am

That's why it is lite version

I, vknow360 aka Sunny Gupta, attest that I am the author of the CustomWebView extension , grant that the extension included in this project is free and that MIT has a non-exclusive irrevocable license to republish the extension as part of the project file for the purposes of the MIT App Inventor Hackathon 2020.

Thanks to @Yoshi

Version 8:

TIMAI2 · August 6, 2020, 8:40am

Set UserAgent not working in a companion/compiled app, getting "403 disallowed_userAgent" when attemptng google sign up? (Tried five different user agents, all without ;wv)

vknow360 · August 6, 2020, 9:36am

Hi @TIMAI2
Can you share your blocks and respective User Agents?

ChrisWard · August 6, 2020, 9:51am

Hi Sunny

Is your extension working with HTML files, stored in App Assets, AI2 version nb184? The native WebViewer component cannot load files from anywhere, though it was perfectly fine in nb183.

vknow360 · August 6, 2020, 9:53am

I have not tested it yet.
Let me check.
But android version plays an important role here.
(I can test it only on Kitkat,Lollipop and Nougat)

TIMAI2 · August 6, 2020, 10:38am

Please see your PMs

Hi. Great extension. My question is update from v8 may require uninstall or only import new version?

vknow360 · September 29, 2020, 10:02am

Thank you.
You can simply import the new version to upgrade.
