Add javascript into WebView

Question

I am developing an application where in 1 part I want to add javascript into WebView.. But am not getting how to do it in an appropriate way.. Can anyone pls guide me into this?????

I am doing it like:

      wb=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
        wb.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        wb.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
        wb.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);

        wb.loadUrl("javascript:<script " ></script> ");
        wb.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());


 public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }

Have you tried pushing it through the javascript: protocol? — suhtai

It was very simple..also without using any javascriptInterface..In my code, Instead writing:

 wb.loadUrl("javascript:<script>   </script>");

use,

  wb.loadDataWithBaseURL(null,"<script>   </script>","text/html","utf-8",null);

and its working now :)
