class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
title = "KotlinApp"
}
@SuppressLint("JavascriptInterface")
fun loadPage(view: View) {
val browser = WebView(this)
browser.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
browser.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/page.html")
setContentView(browser)
val ws = browser.settings
ws.javaScriptEnabled = true
browser.addJavascriptInterface(object:Any() {

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click the Run icon
from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen.
