            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (Searchtext.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("")) {

                    alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(OnlineRecipe.this)

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, all you want to do is load http://allrecipes.com in your WebView in desktop mode... If that is the case, use the following code to get it to work:

webview.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20 Safari/537.31");

This only needs to be placed in your code right after the part where you create the WebView object, webview.

EDIT: just so you know for future reference, this line of code changes the user agent to trick the website into thinking you're accessing it from a computer instead of a phone.

Do not remeber to add activity in your : AndroidManifest.xml

Example :

    <activity android:name=".Second"
              android:label="@string/app_name"
              android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
              android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden">
    </activity>

Class :

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class Second extends Activity {

    WebView webView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

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

        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);

        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebClient());

        webView.loadUrl(getIntent().getExtras().getString("url"));

    }



    public class WebClient extends WebViewClient
    {
        ProgressDialog pd; // Create Proggress Dialog to show if User Internet connection is slow

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
        {
            Intent i = new Intent(Second.this, Second.class);
            i.putExtra("url", url);
            startActivity(i);

            return true;
        }

        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon)
        {
            pd = ProgressDialog.show(Second.this, "",getString(R.string.loading), true);
            pd.setCancelable(true);
        }

        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url)
        {
            if (pd.isShowing()) {
                pd.dismiss();
            }
        }
    }
}
