85.7 Loading the Web Page into the WebView

Before the web page can be printed, it needs to be loaded into the WebView instance. For the purposes of this tutorial, this will be performed by a call to the loadUrl() method of the WebView instance, which will be placed in a method named configureWebView() and called from within the onStart() method of the MainActivity class. Edit the MainActivity.kt file, therefore, and modify it as follows:

package com.ebookfrenzy.webprint

 

import android.os.Bundle

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

import android.view.Menu

import android.view.MenuItem

import android.webkit.WebView

import android.webkit.WebViewClient

import android.webkit.WebResourceRequest

import android.content.Context

 

import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*

import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.fragment_first.*

 

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

.
