Floating Refresh-Button for WebView

Question

I want to make a floating Refresh-Button for my WebView. I did some research but I wasn't able to fix my problem.

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    String url = "https://www.rtl.de/cms/sendungen/serie/alarm-fuer-cobra-11.html";
    WebView view = (WebView) this.findViewById(R.id.WebView);
    view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    view.loadUrl(url);

    FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
    fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            view.reload();
        }
    });

I also tried MainActivity.this.webView.loadUrl("https://www.rtl.de/cms/sendungen/serie/alarm-fuer-cobra-11.html"); instead of view.reload(); but there is always an error.

Cannot resolve method 'reload()'

or

Cannot resolve symbol 'WebView'

It would be very nice if anyone could help me.

Answer 1

You can actually just make an Intent and start your current activity as a new one. For example in your activity, make a button like this:

myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

Please tell me if it is ok.
Take care!
