Android 9 Development Cookbook - Third Edition

How to do it...

We're going to create the WebView through code so we won't be modifying the layout. We'll start by opening the Android Manifest and following these steps:

1. Add the following permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

2. Modify the existing onCreate() to include the following code:

WebView webview = new WebView(this);setContentView(webview);webview.loadUrl("https://www.packtpub.com/");

3. You're ready to run the application on a device or emulator.
