[jira] [Updated] (CB-8317) exit message is not delivered even though about:blank is loaded

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8317?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Shingo Toda updated CB-8317:
----------------------------
    Description: 
I'm developing an application using Embeded WebView way and tweaked {{onMessage}} method to do our things when "exit" is sent. This {{onMessage}} expects to receive "exit" message which would be dispatched from {{CordovaWebViewClient#onPageFinished}} if {{about:blank}} is loaded, which is triggered by {{CordovaActivity#handleDestroy}}. But the implementation as of Cordova Android 3.6.4 seems to block loading {{about:blank}} for some reasons.

h3. about:load cannot be loaded

Firstly I tried adding {{about:blank}} to whitelist like below, but it didn't work.

{code:xml}
    <access origin="about:blank" />
{code}

It seems that NullPointerException happens at {{URLPattern#matches}} when about:blank is evaluated because {{uri.getHost()}} returns null.

{code:title=Whitelist.java}
        public boolean matches(Uri uri) {
            try {
                return ((scheme == null || scheme.matcher(uri.getScheme()).matches()) &&
                        (host == null || host.matcher(uri.getHost()).matches()) &&
                        (port == null || port.equals(uri.getPort())) &&
                        (path == null || path.matcher(uri.getPath()).matches()));
            } catch (Exception e) {
{code}

So I changed {{CordovaWebView#loadUrlNow}} to let "about:blank" be loaded by adding {{url.startsWith("about:")}} in if statement.

{code:title=CordovaWebViewClient#loadUrlNow|borderStyle=solid}
    void loadUrlNow(String url) {
        if (LOG.isLoggable(LOG.DEBUG) && !url.startsWith("javascript:")) {
            LOG.d(TAG, ">>> loadUrlNow()");
        }
        boolean hoge = internalWhitelist.isUrlWhiteListed(url);
        //if (url.startsWith("file://") || url.startsWith("javascript:") || internalWhitelist.isUrlWhiteListed(url)) {
        if (url.startsWith("file://") || url.startsWith("javascript:") || url.startsWith("about:") || internalWhitelist.isUrlWhiteListed(url)) {
            super.loadUrl(url);
        }
    }
{code}

This patch makes about:blank loaded and "exit" is successfully sent on device < KitKat but still not on KitKat.

h3. exit is not sent on KitKat

On KitKat, exit is not sent even though {{loadUrlNow}} loads {{about:blank}} because of two issues below.

* It seems that KitKat does not call {{CordovaWebViewClient#onPageStarted}} when about:blank is loaded.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=65701

* Crodova is implemented to expect both {{onPageStarted}} and {{onPageFinished}} would be called due to this commit.
https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/commit/a5c8472a374c1c2b2026fa9dbb39235e198768ef

Now {{onPageStarted}} is supposed to set {{isCurrentlyLoading}} to {{true}} but this method is not called on KitKat for {{about:blank}}. Then in {{onPageFinished}}, {{isCurrentlyLoading}} is still {{false}} so it ended up exiting without doing anything.

As workaround, I made tentative patch to ignore {{isCurrentlyLoading}} variable if an app is running on on KitKat. This patch make "exit" message dispatched.

{code:title=CordovaWebViewClient#onPageFinished}
    @Override
    public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
        super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        // Ignore excessive calls.
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT != android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT){
            if (!isCurrentlyLoading) {
                return;
            }
        }
{code}


h3. Question

I want to change some source code to fix this issue but since a couple of problems are involved in this issue and I'm not sure what was a purpose of those lines, I would like to know some things.

h4. Q1
Andrew's commit says

bq. I believe this happens only when using custom schemes.

What is the case of this? Actually my patch ignores this possible multiple {{onPageFinished}} call so it would cause some problem.

h4. Q2
Does whitelist not support {{about:blank}}? Also current implementation seems to block any loading of {{about:blank}}. Do you really intend to do this?
