webview - android: after closing the app its still running

Question

I am using webview, and I'm appending some query string with the URL. Say URL is file:///android_asset/www/index.html and I have added the query string ?urlid=MindTree_Projects&city=bangalore&firstTimeRule=%7B%22EEI....something. So the whole URL looks like file:///android_asset/www/index.html?urlid=MindTree_Projects&city=bangalore&firstTimeRule=%7B%22EEI....something. Now suppose I open the app and then close it, still its running, but in foreground its closed.

Only I can see it running in chrome://inspect. Which is one of the way to debug web apps.

Can any body tell me why this is happening, it worth for me.

Answer 1

You may have to call the methods onPause() and onResume() of the WebView Class.

@Override
protected void onPause()
{
    super.onPause();
    mWebView.onPause(); // pauses the WebView (JavaScript, flash etc.)
}

@Override
protected void onResume()
{
    super.onResume();
    mWebView.onResume(); // resumes the WebView (JavaScript, flash etc.)

}

@Override
protected void onDestroy()
{
    super.onDestroy();
    relativeLayoutPlaceholder.removeView(mWebView); // removes the WebView from its Placeholder
    mWebView.destroy(); // destroys the WebView
    mWebView = null;
}
