Integrate WebView monitoring

WebView monitoring allows the MINT SDKs to access hybrid (non-native) web pages and gain visibility into their functions.

Integrate WebView monitoring

Use one of the following ways to integrate WebView monitoring into your application to view Web pages:

• Use MintWebView

This option is the easiest way to integrate WebView monitoring into your application.

1. In the XML file that contains your WebView, replace <WebView/> with <com.splunk.mint.MintWebView.
2. In your activity, add the following code:

MintWebView webView = (MintWebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

• Extend MintWebView

This option lets you use your own instance of WebView.

webView = (MintWebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
MintJavascript mintJavascript = new MintJavascript(this, webView);
webView.addJavascriptInterface(mintJavascript, "mintBridge");
webView.setWebViewClient(new MintWebViewClient());

• Use your own WebView client

To use your own WebViewClient, replace the last line of the previous example with the following code:

webView.addJavascriptInterface(mintJavascript, "mintBridge");
webView.setWebViewClient(new MintWebViewClient());

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    @Override
    public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
        super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        view.loadUrl(MintJavascript.loadMintJavascript());
    } 
});

Hybrid API calls

You can use the following hybrid API calls.

Mint.initAndStartSession('apiKey')
Mint.startSession()
Mint.closeSession()
Mint.flush()
Mint.addExtraData('key', 'value')
Mint.clearExtraData()
Mint.leaveBreadcrumb('breadcrumb1')
Mint.logEvent('event name', {'key': 'value'})
Mint.logView('view name', {'key': 'value'} )
Mint.setLocation('myLatitude', 'myLongitude', 'myLocationTimestamp')
Mint.setUserIdentifier('username')
Mint.transactionCancel('transaction id', 'reason for cancel', {'key': 'value'})
Mint.transactionStart('transaction name', {'key': 'value'})
Mint.transactionStop('transaction id', {'key': 'value'})
