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 is ServerState.Running) {
     val url = (ServerProvider.currentState as ServerState.Running).url
     webView.loadUrl(url)
   }

3. Remember to enable javascript and domStorage

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

   All done.
