# Class WebBrowser

java.lang.Object
com.codename1.ui.Component
com.codename1.ui.Container
com.codename1.components.WebBrowser

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Animation, Editable, StyleListener, Iterable<Component>`

public class WebBrowser extends Container

A simple browser view that encapsulates a usable version of HTMLComponent or BrowserComponent and automatically picks the right component for the platform preferring BrowserComponent whenever it is supported.

On Android this component might show a native progress indicator dialog. You can disable that functionality using the call.

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### WebBrowser

    public WebBrowser(String url)

    Constructor with a URL

    ###### Parameters

    - `url`: the url

  - ### WebBrowser

    public WebBrowser()
    Default constructor

- ## Method Details

  - ### createDataURI

    public static String createDataURI(byte[] data, String mime)

    This method creates a data URI which allows developers creating HTML for local use to embed local images into the HTML by appending them as a URI. E.g. instead of referencing a file or URL just load the image data and place the contents of this string into the src attribute.

    This is the easiest way to get an HTML with local images to work on all mobile platforms.

    ###### Parameters

    - `data`: data of an image

    - `mime`: the mime type of the image e.g. image/png

    ###### Returns

    a data URL that can be placed into the img src attribute in HTML e.g. data:image/png;base64,encodedData

  - ### onStart

    public void onStart(String url)

    This is a callback method, this method is called before the url has been loaded

    ###### Parameters

    - `url`

  - ### onLoad

    public void onLoad(String url)

    This is a callback method, this method is called after the url has been loaded

    ###### Parameters

    - `url`

  - ### getBrowserNavigationCallback

    public BrowserNavigationCallback getBrowserNavigationCallback()

    The browser navigation callback interface allows handling a case where a URL invocation can be delegated to Java code. This allows binding Java side functionality to JavaScript functionality in the same way PhoneGap/Cordova work

    ###### Returns

    the callback interface

  - ### setBrowserNavigationCallback

    public void setBrowserNavigationCallback(BrowserNavigationCallback callback)

    Set the browser navigation callback which allows handling a case where a URL invocation can be delegated to Java code. This allows binding Java side functionality to JavaScript functionality in the same way PhoneGap/Cordova work

    ###### Parameters

    - `callback`: the callback interface

  - ### onError

    public void onError(String message, int errorCode)

    This is a callback method to inform on an error.

    ###### Parameters

    - `message`

    - `errorCode`

  - ### getInternal

    public Component getInternal()

    Since the internal component can be either an HTMLComponent or a BrowserComponent one of them will be returned. If you are targeting modern smartphones only you can rely on this method returning a BrowserComponent instance.

    ###### Returns

    BrowserComponent or HTMLComponent

  - ### getTitle

    public String getTitle()

    Returns the title for the browser page

    ###### Returns

    the title
