Hey all just wanted to ask that is webview string not working as yesterday while testing my appathon project it was working but not now it thought it might be a problem with my code so i made another project for testing can any one confirm

@Oye_Lucky please change your topic category to MIT App Inventor Help
because the content of your topic does not fit the category.
And don't use the appathon category if your context is to ask for help.
Also please clarify what you expect, read this too :
Nothing in your test aia project will produce a return from the webviewstring.
this the the code that i have hosted
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<button id="buttonop" onclick="getLocation()">Try It</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var x = document.getElementById("demo");
function getLocation() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
} else {
x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
}
}
function showPosition(position) {
x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
"<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
window.AppInventor.setWebViewString(position.coords.latitude )
}
</script>
</html>hey but the webview string was working properly yesterday
looks like you forgot to input the html code into the ai2 asset
okay i got it
i think you should get the code from that website with this trick:
not working could you try at your end
I don't know much about JS but as i read here:
https://puravidaapps.com/snippets.php#2webviewstring
you have not written getWebViewString() in your HTML and JS code
so it does not return any webview string. Try this method.
see this this sets the webview string to my current latitude
Just retested your code and it works. You either did not give location permission (location services not turned on ?) or you did not wait until the the location sensor on the device had got a fix, and could therefore return a value.
Regardless, as previously suggested, this method is no quicker than directly using the location component.
are you sure
already given the permission
waited for 5 minutes
its (location sensor) too slow, my code was returning the value within seconds yesterday dont know what happened today
@Oye_Lucky close this line :
window.AppInventor.setWebViewString(position.coords.latitude)
with ; on your code
not working updated my site too
