@override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: const Text('WebView CSS Example'), ), body: InAppWebView( initialUrlRequest: URLRequest(url: Uri.parse(url)), initialOptions: InAppWebViewGroupOptions( crossPlatform: InAppWebViewOptions( useShouldOverrideUrlLoading: true, javaScriptEnabled: true, javaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically: true, userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.1.1; Galaxy Nexus Build/JRO03C) " "AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.166 Mobile Safari/535.19", ), android: AndroidInAppWebViewOptions( useShouldInterceptRequest: true, useHybridComposition: true, ), ), shouldOverrideUrlLoading: (controller, navigationAction) async { // You can access the URL like this final url = navigationAction.request.url.toString(); if (url.contains("example")) { return NavigationActionPolicy.ALLOW; } else { //TODO: Launch Url Outside the app. //_launchURL(url); return NavigationActionPolicy.ALLOW; } }, onWebViewCreated: (InAppWebViewController controller) { _webViewController = controller; // Inject the CSS file into the WebView. // _webViewController!.injectJavascriptFileFromUrl( // urlFile: Uri.parse('assets/css_styles.css')); }, onLoadStop: (controller, url) { //TODO: Stop Loader }, ), ); } } |
Here is an example of a simple HTML file that uses a CSS file:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
<!DOCTYPE <strong>html</strong>> <html> <head> <title>WebView Example</title> <style> body { color: blue; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Hello from Flutter!</h1> </body> </html> |
When you run the app, the WebView will display the HTML file with the CSS file applied. The text “Hello from Flutter!” will be displayed in blue.
You can also use a CSS file to style the WebView itself. For example, you can use the width and height properties to set the size of the WebView. You can also use the border property to add a border around the WebView.
Here is an example of a CSS file that can be used to style a WebView:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
webview { width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 1px solid black; } |
When you add this CSS file to your project and inject it into the WebView, the WebView will be styled according to the CSS file.
