Challenge: The WebView injection with multiple loadUrl() calls, first one to inject some js code and succeeding ones to load few webpages work fine... until Android Nougat came into picture.
Killer Compatibility Note: The compatibility note on new Android N documentation here explains what changed.
The challenge here is to get the code working as before with proposed changes on the branch android-n
- Get an Nexus 5X/6P and upgrade it to Android Nougat (API-24 aka. 7.0).
- Register the device on beta channel to get Android N, if needed.
- Create a local file named dummy_file.html on the device with below content (no changes to html allowed).
<html><body>
<p id="demo">Click the button to change the text in this paragraph.</p>
<button onclick="window.vungle.myFunction()">Try it</button>
</body></html>- On branch master, when the button is pushed, the text changes.
- On the other hand, with proposed changes to upgrade the app to Android N on branch android-n the text doesn't change
- The dummy_file.html file contents shouldn't be changed.
- Solution should be free of any race condition and should always work irrespective of the amount of javascript code being injected before loading dummy_file.html.
- Hints can be provided upon request.
