I have faced a really idiot problem, and i want to share it with you.
I tried to make a very simple webview activity like below:
package com.demoapp; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import com.demoapp.R; import android.webkit.WebView; public class WebView extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.webview); Bundle data = getIntent().getExtras(); WebView webview1 = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1); webview1.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webview1.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true); webview1.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true); webview1.setInitialScale(50); webview1.loadUrl(data.getString("webview")); } }
This is looking perfect, but the Eclipse dont let you compile this.
You will get error: cannot cast from View to WebView.
You need to observe that the import android.webkit.WebView; cannot be fullfiled.
WHY? Because you have setted the class name same. As you see my class name is WebView.
This generates a conflict, between imported class WebView, and your class called WebView, so just change the name of your class to something like WebView1 and you are done.
Thank you for your Tip, I have the same Problem right now.
