🟨 WebViewExtra - Upload/Download Files with webviewer (and much more...)

It should be done without needing any other blocks, as per my documentation, zoom features are turned off by default

Update 2.2 release

  1. Provides Geolocation permissions
  2. Provides method for camera and microphone permissions in webviewer

Can you add a way for me to download because I can't open the link due to blocks

What is blocking the download link? No issues here

When you have too many blocks spread out over too large a surface area,
the Blocks Editor hits a complexity limit when it tries to generate a blocks.png file for the screen.

There are two main approaches to deal with this:

  • Start a Google Doc with a Table of Contents explaining your app, with sections for Design, Data, Code, including Downloaded Png images of all Events, Procedures, Globals, and with html cross-links for easy navigation. Such a doc becomes easier to read than a complete blocks image, because you have FIND, Next, PREV, back functionality, and you can add paragraphs of commentary around your code. This is my preferred life saver when doing a very large complex app. If you go this route, try to arrange your blocks geographically in a column matching the order of your Table of Contents, then do periodic Clean Up Blocks to pull them inline. This sometimes lowers the load on the Blocks Editor.
  • Reduce your block count:
    • Use parametrized procedures for common code
    • Use Media text files instead of big clumps of text blocks
    • Use generic blocks instead of repeating component event blocks
    • Encode repeating decision patterns into lookup tables loaded from Media csv text files (does your blocks image look like a box of combs?)
    • You don't need a component for every data instance. Reuse those components.
    • If you can't fit data into a ListView or List Picker, show a small subset of the data in an Arrangement and slide it across the larger list of data.

Securely just a school blocker.

Hi, TIMAI , can you please allow adding custom headers to the extension please? Thanks

Use CustomWebView - LoadWithHeaders method - for this.

There is no way to have it with webviewextra as i am using the native already

You have a niche requirement, use what is available, I do not see the point in replicating it.

The main focus for webviewextra is for uploading and downloading files...

Custom is full of extra features that i don't need but i get your point and i guess custom headers can be helpful for many people especially that your extension is regularly updated and also just use the native webview

after use of this extension i got this warning


is there any way to avoid it

You could use this version:

uk.co.metricrat.webviewextra2.1release.aix (24.9 KB)

See release notes (V2.2) in the first post for what is not included.

However, if you want your users to have access to the camera and audio through the webviewer, you need to advise them in advance that they need to accept these permissions on first run of your app, so that these functions will work.

thanks for your reply . i don't need permissions for camera and audio

A post was merged into an existing topic: CustomWebView : An extended form of Web Viewer

Hi, how can I hide the scroll bar? It's visible, and I'd just like to be able to scroll without it appearing.

You could try running some JavaScript:

document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden'; // Hide scrollbars
document.body.style.overflow = 'auto';  // Show scrollbars

Hiding/Showing of scrollbars is not a feature available with this extension.

HEY yo IS THIS A Chromium based extension (CEF)

Not intentionally, requires the native android webview.

ha?
