getting the html source from the selection about btandroidwebviewselection HOT 7 OPEN

I too dont understand how to get the highlighted text from html source? if you know please post the answer.

from btandroidwebviewselection.

The highlighted text is being passed in to the app in the javascript interface method selectionChanged(rangyRange, text, handleBounds, menuBounds); If you were going to change the way the selection works i.e. plain text vs html, etc. You would do that in the javascript.

I'm not sure what you're asking.

Let me explain in detail. I am developing epub reader which contains html to load in webview. When user long press the text in webview, i nee to hightlight the text where user press and it should ask the option to hightlight. Once user came back to particular point where user selected already it should highlight remains same. As now i can take the selected text and rangy value but i dont know how to hightlight once again when the user comes to particular page where he already highlighted.

You'll have to add some javascript to highlight a given rangy range, then store the rangy range given by the selection process in a database. When the page loads, redo the highlighting and unhighlighting in the order it was originally done.

Or, you could take the html contents of the page after each highlighting action and overwrite your stored file with it.
