Local Host Library

A local server library to load web projects into android web view.

How To Use?

• add jitpack to your project

  // in project's root build.gradle
  allprojects {
  repositories {
  // ...
  maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
  }
  // or in settings.gradle file
  dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
  repositories {
  google()
  mavenCentral()
  maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
  }
  }

• Then import the library. tag:

  dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.fcat97:local-server:Tag'
  }

Now to use,

1. Start the server & Set the web project's root path (where the index.html file is):

   ServerProvider.startServer()
   ServerProvider.setDistDir(distHelper.getDistPath(distName))

2. Now just load the local host root i.e. http://127.0.0.1:9099 in WebView.

   if (ServerProvider.currentState isServerState.Running) {
   val url = (ServerProvider.currentState asServerState.Running).url
   webView.loadUrl(url)
   }

3. Remember to enable javascript and domStorage

   webView.apply {
   @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
   settings.javaScriptEnabled =true
   settings.domStorageEnabled =trueif (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
   webViewClient =this@DistViewActivity.webViewClient
   }
   }

   All done.
