How to call JS from native Java code?

Question

How can I call a simple event or execute a JavaScript function in native Android code with Cordova?

I tried

    public void notificationRecieved(String heading,String news){
        try{
            if(webview!=null){
                Log.i("PUSHPARSE","in Notification Received Event");
                //webview.loadUrl("javascript:alert('URLcall')");
                webview.sendJavascript("alert('CAlling from Java')");
            }   

        }catch(Exception e1){
            Log.e("PUSHPARSE",e1.getMessage(),e1);
        }

    }

I am not able to get any notification or alert.

Update

Logcat shows I/PUSHPARSE( 2039): in Notification Received Event

Tried doing webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");

the logs show

>>> loadUrl(http://www.google.com)

W/CordovaWebView( 2039): CordovaWebView.init() was not called. This will soon be required.

D/CordovaWebView( 2039): CordovaWebView is running on device made by: unknown

are you sure webview is the cordova webview? and it is initialized? that code should work, or try with webview.loadUrl("javascript:console.log('test');"); and look into logcat to see if the log appears — jcesarmobile

I did that.. still no output. is there any other way to dispatch or call an event from Java to JS.? — Incpetor

is the Log.i("PUSHPARSE","in Notification Received Event"); being displayed on the log? — jcesarmobile

yes that gets logged. but just after the call it vanishes inside Cordova call. No exception or trace. — Incpetor

thanks for reply, what do you want me to write in document? a script for alert? or so?

i guess alert('x') not working on webview may be it works webview.loadUrl("javascript:document.write('URLcall')"); or webview.sendJavascript("javascript:document.write('URLcall')"); and console.log can writes your eclipse console
