I am using a WebView to play some html5 animations and the animations depend on some javascript codes. I need to inject javascript codes into WebView before webpages loaded.
class AnimWebView extends WebView{
getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
loadAnimation(String animUrl){
//get javascript code
String js_code = getMyJsCode();
//inject the javascript code to WebView
mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:" + js_code);
//load animation
mWebView.loadUrl(animUrl);
}
}
AnimWebView animContainer = new AnimWebView(context);
// load first animation, the animation works fine.
animContainer.loadAnimation("file:///android_asset/animations/test1/index.html");
//after one minute load second animation(I omit the delay code.)
//it doesn't work because JS code can't be find.
animContainer.loadAnimation("file:///android_asset/animations/test2/index.html");
Because it works first second and failed the second time, so I think maybe I need clear code and cache after first time.
So I tried to clearView(), stopLoading(), loadUrl("about:blank"). But they all doesn't work.
Is there any suggestion?

I have two Javascript files, both setup to generate an image from base64. The first script, called static.js looks like this.
var element = new Image();
element.src = "data:image/png;base64,..."
document.body.appendChild(element);
I can embed the script into my website using the following code and the image appears with no issues. (To see the full code, including the base64, go here)
<body>
<script src="./static.js"></script>
</body>
Similarly, I have a second script that I found on CodePen by takashi that converts a base64 image into an animated glitch. I was able to take that code and modify it using the same base64 image as the static code but with the glitch (apologies, but the code is really long even without my base64 image so I just included the link). The code for my image can be seen here. Note that while CodePen shows the HTML and Javascript on the same page, I broke mine out into separate files.
Again, if I embed the script into the webpage, it works with no issues.
<body>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/0.5.7/p5.min.js"></script>
<script src="./glitch.js"></script>
</body>
The issue I have is that neither code has a dedicated javascript function() attribute, so the only way they work is if I embed the code as indicated above. Using the static image for brevity, if I add a dedicated function:
function isStatic() {
var element = new Image();
element.src = "data:image/png;base64,..."
document.body.appendChild(element);
}
and then try a callback,
<body>
<script src="./static.js">
isStatic();
</script>
</body>
the image does not appear on the webpage any longer. The same happens on the glitched image when I try to wrap the whole script into a function and then try a callback.
The main reason I was trying to turn each JS file into functions is so that I could combine the two into one file (which I did), and then using an embedded script like
<script>
setInterval(function(isStatic) {
// This will be executed every 9 seconds
}, 9000);
setInterval(function(isGlitch) {
// This will be executed every 2 seconds
}, 2000);
</script>
to create an image that switches from static to glitched, and then back again.
Since I was not able to successfully turn each JS file/script into it's own function, what I am trying to figure out is if there is a better way to combine my Static and Glitch JS scripts into one, or if there is a way that I can set the webpage to call each script file individually in such a way that creates a loop of the static and glitched images switching back and forth.
I have scoured the Google-webs looking for anything that describes what I am trying to do visually, but have absolutely nothing to show for it but a whole heap of scripts on various ways to make text and/or images glitch (just not how to make them start out static and then glitch randomly). Essentially what I would like to do with my two scripts is
- run static image (script or call) for *x* seconds (120-180 seconds)
- run glitched image (script or call) for *x* seconds (3-5 seconds)
- reset (loop) the sequence
in order to create the appearance of a single image that seems to randomly glitch for unknown reasons.
Edited answer after your clarifying comment:
Your code uses a library called p5, which is controlling your animation timing, so my previous answer is irrelevant. If you just want to change how often the glitch occurs, you already have almost everything you need. The glitch.js file already has a flag to turn the glitch on and off (this.throughFlag). And, it already has a slight random delay between glitches on line 226:
setTimeout(() => {
this.throughFlag = true;
}, floor(random(40, 400)));
The second parameter to setTimeout controls how long to wait beofre setting this.throughFlag to true (and thus starting to glitch again).
You just need to make this number longer. To do so, you want to make the time on the timeout longer, ie by multiplying it by some constant, which I'll call delayFactor.
const delayFactor = 10;
setTimeout(() => {
this.throughFlag = true;
}, delayFactor * floor(random(40, 400)));

Our GWT application has various fragments and each of them are very big in size(1+ MB). What we would like to do is to show a progress bar when GWT is downloading the fragment. We are using GWTP based code splitting.
I could not find anything related to fragment loading event in GWT source code. Does anyone have any idea about how Javascript on page can be notified about which fragment is going to be downloaded next?
There is not any direct way, but you can workaround that basically in two ways
1.- Extending the CrossSiteIframeLinker and overriding the method getJsInstallScript() so as you can return a customised javascript content which could alert somehow to the user about the permutation being loaded or simply show a spinner. Note that your script should contain a code similar to installScriptEarlyDownload.js or installScriptDirect.js
// Your linker class
public class MyXSILinker extends CrossSiteIframeLinker {
#Override
protected String getJsInstallScript(LinkerContext context) {
return "/your_namespace/your_script.js";
}
}
// your "/your_namespace/your_script.js" script
function installScript(filename) {
}
// your module file
<define-linker name="mylinker" class="...MyXSILinker" />
<add-linker name="mylinker" />
2.- Using the window.__gwtStatsEvent function. You can define a function in your index.html to start a loading spinner when the script loading the app is going to be added to your document, then use your gwt code to remove that.
// In your index.html
<head>
<script>
window.__gwtStatsEvent = function(r) {
if (r.type == 'scriptTagAdded') {
d = document.createElement('div')
d.id = 'loading'
d.innerHTML = 'Loading...'
document.body.appendChild(d);
}
}
</head>
</script>
// In your EntryPoint class
Document.get().getElementById("loading").removeFromParent();
To show an accurate progress-bar is quite difficult because <script> tag does not support progress events. So the best approach should be a linker loading the permutation using ajax, so as you can use html5 progress events in the xhr object.
I would use the #2 approach showing a nice spinner animated with css.
I have different headers that I would like to loop through based on a timer which should be executed every time a page loads. Currently what I have works one time but then stops after it changes the header the first time. I am not very good with javascript and would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Below is what I have in place currently.
In lib/Rotator.rb:
class Rotator
def self.header_rotator(number)
partials = ["header", "header2", "header3", "header4", "header5"]
random_header = partials[number]
return random_header
end
end
Then in the header section of application.html.haml I have:
var start_rotate = setTimeout(rotate, 5000);
function rotate() {
remote_function(:url => {:action})
$("#header").replaceWith('#{escape_javascript( render :partial => "shared/#{Rotator.header_rotator(rand(5))}")}')
start_rotate = setTimeout(rotate, 5000);
}
As I said this works fine but only rotates one time then stops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This is less about js and more about understanding what is running where and when.
If you look at the HTML that is being rendered things should become clearer. That call to escape_javascript, render happens precisely once: when that string gets interpolated during the rendering of the main page load. So the second (and third, fourth, fifth...) times rotate() runs it is replacing the header with exactly the same HTML.
Assuming you are using jquery, the load method can do this:
$('#header').load('/some/server/path')
Don't forget to render without the layout when you respond to this request.
Lastly, are you sure you want to use Ajax at all? You could just load all the header variants up front and use JavaScript to show them in turn. (there are a number of jquery cycle or slideshiw plugins that do precisely this)
I am trying to load Skyscanner API dynamically but it doesn't seem to work. I tried every possible way I could think of and all it happens the content disappears.
I tried console.log which gives no results; I tried elements from chrome's developers tools and while all the content's css remains the same, still the content disappears (I thought it could be adding display:none on the html/body sort of). I tried all Google's asynch tricks, yet again blank page. I tried all js plugins for async loading with still the same results.
Skyscanner's API documentation is poor and while they offer a callback it doesn't work the way google's API's callback do.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/7TWYC/
Example with loading API in head section: http://jsfiddle.net/s2HkR/
So how can I load the api on button click or async? Without the file being in the HEAD section. If there is a way to prevent the document.write to make the page blank or any other way. I wouldn't mind using plain js, jQuery or PHP.
EDIT:
I've set a bounty to 250 ontop of the 50 I had previously.
Orlando Leite answered a really close idea on how to make this asynch api load although some features doesn't work such as selecting dates and I am not able to set styling.
I am looking for an answer of which I will be able to use all the features so that it works as it would work if it was loading on load.
Here is the updated fiddle by Orlando: http://jsfiddle.net/cxysA/12/

EDIT 2 ON Gijs ANSWER:
Gijs mentioned two links onto overwriting document.write. That sounds an awesome idea but I think it is not possible to accomplish what I am trying.
I used John's Resig way to prevent document.write of which can be found here: http://ejohn.org/blog/xhtml-documentwrite-and-adsense/
When I used this method, I load the API successfuly but the snippets.js file is not loading at all.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9HX7N/
I belive what you want is it:
function loadSkyscanner()
{
function loaded()
{
t.skyscanner.load('snippets', '1', {'nocss' : true});
var snippet = new t.skyscanner.snippets.SearchPanelControl();
snippet.setCurrency('GBP');
snippet.setDeparture('uk');
snippet.draw(document.getElementById('snippet_searchpanel'));
}
var t = document.getElementById('sky_loader').contentWindow;
var head = t.document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.onreadystatechange= function() {
if(this.readyState == 'complete') loaded();
}
script.onload= loaded;
script.src= 'http://api.skyscanner.net/api.ashx?key=PUT_HERE_YOUR_SKYSCANNER_API_KEY';
head.appendChild(script);
}
$("button").click(function(e)
{
loadSkyscanner();
});
It's load skyscanner in iframe#sky_loader, after call loaded function to create the SearchPanelControl. But in the end, snippet draws in the main document. It's really a bizarre workaround, but it works.
The only restriction is, you need a iframe. But you can hide it using display:none.
A working example
EDIT
Sorry guy, I didn't see it. Now we can see how awful is skyscanner API. It puts two divs to make the autocomplete, but not relative to the element you call to draw, but the document.
When a script is loaded in a iframe, document is the iframe document.
There is a solution, but I don't recommend, is really a workaround:
function loadSkyscanner()
{
var t;
this.skyscanner;
var iframe = $("<iframe id=\"sky_loader\" src=\"http://fiddle.jshell.net/orlleite/2TqDu/6/show/\"></iframe>");
function realWorkaround()
{
var tbody = t.document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
while( tbody.children.length != 0 )
{
var temp = tbody.children[0];
tbody.removeChild( temp );
body.appendChild( temp );
}
}
function snippetLoaded()
{
skyscanner = t.skyscanner;
var snippet = new skyscanner.snippets.SearchPanelControl();
snippet.setCurrency('GBP');
snippet.setDeparture('uk');
snippet.draw(document.getElementById('snippet_searchpanel'));
setTimeout( realWorkaround, 2000 );
}
var loaded = function()
{
console.log( "loaded" );
t = document.getElementById('sky_loader').contentWindow;
t.onLoadSnippets( snippetLoaded );
}
$("body").append(iframe);
iframe.load(loaded);
}
$("button").click(function(e)
{
loadSkyscanner();
});
Load a iframe with another html who loads and callback when the snippet is loaded. After loaded create the snippet where you want and after set a timeout because we can't know when the SearchPanelControl is loaded. This realWorkaround move the autocomplete divs to the main document.
You can see a work example here
The iframe loaded is this
EDIT
Fixed the bug you found and updated the link.
the for loop has gone and added a while, works better now.
while( tbody.children.length != 0 )
{
var temp = tbody.children[0];
tbody.removeChild( temp );
body.appendChild( temp );
}
For problematic cases like this, you can just overwrite document.write. Hacky as hell, but it works and you get to decide where all the content goes. See eg. this blogpost by John Resig. This ignores IE, but with a bit of work the trick works in IE as well, see eg. this blogpost.
So, I'd suggest overwriting document.write with your own function, batch up the output where necessary, and put it where you like (eg. in a div at the bottom of your <body>'). That should prevent the script from nuking your page's content.
Edit: OK, so I had/took some time to look into this script. For future reference, use something like http://jsbeautifier.org/ to investigate third-party scripts. Much easier to read that way. Fortunately, there is barely any obfuscation/minification at all, and so you have a supplement for their API documentation (which I was unable to find, by the way -- I only found 'code wizards', which I had no interest in).
Here's an almost-working example: http://jsfiddle.net/a8q2s/1/
Here's the steps I took:
override document.write. This needs to happen before you load the initial script. Your replacement function should append their string of code into the DOM. Don't call the old document.write, that'll just get you errors and won't do what you want anyway. In this case you're lucky because all the content is in a single document.write call (check the source of the initial script). If this weren't the case, you'd have to batch everything up until the HTML they'd given you was valid and/or you were sure there was nothing else coming.
load the initial script on the button click with jQuery's $.getScript or equivalent. Pass a callback function (I used a named function reference for clarity, but you can inline it if you prefer).
Tell Skyscanner to load the module.
Edit #2: Hah, they have an API (skyscanner.loadAndWait) for getting a callback once their script has loaded. Using that works:
http://jsfiddle.net/a8q2s/3/
(note: this still seems to use a timeout loop internally)
In the skyrunner.js file they are using document.write to make the page blank on load call back... So here are some consequences in your scenario..
This is making page blank when you click on button.
So, it removes everything from page even 'jQuery.js' that is why call back is not working.. i.e main function is cannot be invoked as this is written using jQuery.
And you have missed a target 'div' tag with id = map(according to the code). Actually this is the target where map loads.
Another thing i have observed is maps is not actually a div in current context, that is maps api to load.
Here you must go with the Old school approach, That is.. You should include your skyrunner.js file at the top of the head content.
So try downloading that file and include in head tag.
Thanks
I'm a creating a loading screen for website I am making. The website loads many images, scripts, etc. The HTML and CSS part is great, but I need a way to guarantee that the "loading..." image will be loaded before anything else.
I'm using jQuery, and everything is initiated within $(function () { ... });. I imagine that the code for this would need to be called before/outside that block, and the code to remove the loading screen will be called at the very end of that block. Currently, the loading image is set as a DIV background, which is the way I prefer it. However, if it's completely necessary, I will settle for an IMG tag.
Update: (solution)
I was able to answer my own question by using a combination of Robin and Vlad's responses. Both were very good, and excellent answers, however the problem is that they were aimed to load an image before another image, rather than load an image before anything else. (CSS, JS, etc...)
Here's the dirty version of what I came up with:
var files = [new Image(), document.createElement('link'), document.createElement('script')];
files[0].setAttribute('src', 'images/loading.gif');
files[1].setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet');
files[1].setAttribute('type', 'text/css');
files[1].setAttribute('href', 'test.css');
files[2].setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
files[2].setAttribute('src', 'js/jquery-1.5.1.min.js');
window.onload = function (e) {
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(files[1]);
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(files[2]);
}
Taking a look at the load sequence on the network tab of Chrome's developer console shows that 'loading.gif' is loaded first, then 4 dummy images, then 'test.css', and then 'jquery.1.5.1.min.js'. The CSS and JS files don't begin to load, until they've been inserted into the head tag. This is exactly what I want.
I'm predicting that I may begin to have some problems, however, when I begin to load a list of files. Chrome reports that sometimes the JS file is loaded first, but the majority of the time the CSS file is loaded first. This isn't a problem, except when I begin to add files to load, I will need to ensure that jQuery is loaded before a script file that uses jQuery.
If anyone has a solution for this, or a way to detect when the CSS/JS files are finished loading, using this method, then please comment. Though, I'm not sure that it's going to be a problem yet. I may need to ask a new question in the future about this, if I start to run into problems.
Thank you to every who has helped with this issue.
Update: (glitch fix)
I ended up running into a lot of problem with this method, because the script files were being loaded asynchronously. If I would clear the browser cache, and then load the page, it would finish loading my jquery dependent files first. Then if I refreshed the page, it would work, because jquery was loaded from cache. I solved this by setting up an array of files to load, then putting the load script into a function. Then I would step through each array item using this code:
element.onload = function() {
++i; _step();
}
element.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (("loaded" === element.readyState || "complete" === element.readyState)) { ++i; _step(); }
}
You can reuse resource prealoding browser support.
I'm not sure it works across all browsers but in my case this approach helps me to load images first. Also it allows to define concrete images so UI specific could be skipped
First define in header what resource you want to preload and define resource priority
<link rel="preload" href="link-to-image" as="image">
or
<link rel="preload" href="link-to-image">
Second line allow to increase loading priority across all object types (scripts / images / styles). First line - only through images.
Then define in body link to image as usual:
<img src="link-to-image" alt="">
Here is my working example
https://jsfiddle.net/vadimb/05scfL58/
As long as the "loading..." image is positioned before any other html elements, it should load first. This of course depends on the size of the image. You could put the loading div right after the tag and position it using 'position:absolute'.
Regarding the code to remove the loading screen, one method is to do the following.
Put all the images, scripts that need to be loaded in a hidden div (display: none)
Set up a variable that will hold the total of the images / scripts to be loaded
Set up a counter variable
Attach to each image / script the "onload" event
Everytime the "onload" event is triggered it will call a function that will increment the counter variable and check if the value of the counter equals the value of the total variable
If all resources have been loaded, fire a custom event that will show the div with the images, and hide the div with the loading screen.
The code below isn't tested so it might not work. Hope it helps
var totalImages = 0;
var loadCounter = 0;
function incrementLoadCounter() {
loadCounter++;
if(loadCounter === totalImages) {
$(document).trigger('everythingLoaded');
}
}
function hideLoadingScreen() {
$('#loadingScreen').hide();
$('#divWithImages').show();
}
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('#loadingScreen').bind('everythingLoaded', function(e) {
hideLoadingScreen();
});
var imagesToLoad = $('img.toLoad');
totalImages = imagesToLoad.length;
$.each(imagesToLoad, function(i, item) {
$(item).load(function(e) {
incrementLoadCounter();
})
});
})
I'm not sure if it's possible to enforce.
If it is, try adding this in the head-tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
if(document.images)
(new Image()).src="http://www.image.com/example.png";
</script>
In theory that may load and cache that image before anything else.
I think if you place the IMG tag at the top of your html body it will be loaded first. If you do not want to move your div just use a copy of the image tag. Once the images is loaded it will be shown in every image tag which shows the same picture.
Or you could use spin.js as loading image. It display this "loading cycle image" via javascript.
