Steps to Convert Website To Android App Using Android Studio

STEP 1 – Editing AndroidManifest.xml

Give Internet permission in AndroidManifest.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.app">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

   <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>

Note: package=”com.example.app“> – change the domain name and application name.

STEP 2 – Editing styles.xml

open style.xml file from res >> values >> styles.xml

Now replace all the pre code with this given code —

<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

</resources>

STEP 3 – Editing activity_main.xml

Choose Android or Project >>App >>res >>layout >>activity_main.xml. Copy the code below and paste it in your xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.app.MainActivity">

    <WebView
         android:id="@+id/webview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

Note: In the line tools:context=”com.example.app.MainActivity” you need to put your domain name and app name.

STEP 4 – Editing MainActivity.java

Now move to the main codding part that is – MainActivity.java

Choose Android or Project >>App >>Java >>your app name >>MainActivity.java.

Paste the following code after the first line that is – package com.inspiritlive.application;

 import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
 import android.os.Bundle;
 import android.webkit.WebSettings;
 import android.webkit.WebView;
 import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
 private WebView mywebView;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    mywebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
    WebSettings webSettings= mywebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    mywebView.loadUrl("https://example.com/");

// Line of Code for opening links in app
    mywebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
    }

//Code For Back Button
    @Override
    public void onBackPressed(){
        if(webView.canGoBack()) {
            webView.goBack();
        }
        else{
            super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }

}

NOTE: Replace the URL (example.com) with your Domain Name. Use https always as non-http is not supported in the android app.
