Javascript overlay redirect not displaying properly on Android WebView

I am trying to implement a custom browser based on WebView. It works great on most websites, but on https://smittenkitchen.com/ I maybe missing something critical:

It loads and displays the homepage fine, but when typing a search term (e.g. "carrot"), it first lands on an ugly looking "search form" page, then it displays an blank overlay! (no trace of that overlay display/redirect in Logcat!)

On any standard web browser it first lands on that ugly looking "search form" page, then after 0.5-2 seconds it displays an overlay with the search results gradually being populated.

I am trying to understand what I am missing in my implementation:

In MyWebViewClient, I override:

  • onPageStarted
  • onPageFinished
  • shouldOverrideUrlLoading
  • onPageCommitVisible

However, the first 3 methods (onPageStarted, onPageFinished, shouldOverrideUrlLoading) only log a Logcat message when called, they do not do anything custom.

The only overridden method that does something custom (onPageCommitVisible) is only calling WebView's loadUrl() with:

javascript:window.HTMLOUT.processHTML(document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML)

facilitated by:

webView.addJavascriptInterface(new MyJavascriptInterface(this, webView), "HTMLOUT");

Note that shouldOverrideUrlLoading is never called by the Android WebView framework, despite the apparent redirect (perhaps because it is a client-side redirect, not changing the URL?)

@Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
    Log.d("", "url: " + url + ", view: " + view.getUrl());
}
@Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
    Log.d("", "url: " + url + ", view: " + view.getUrl());
}
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest webResourceRequest) {
    Log.d("", "webResourceRequest: " + webResourceRequest.getUrl() + ", view: " + view.getUrl());
    return false;
}
@Override
public void onPageCommitVisible(WebView view, String url) {
    super.onPageCommitVisible(view, url);
    view.loadUrl("javascript:window.HTMLOUT.processHTML(document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML)"); // convert all javascript to HTML
    Log.v("", "url (passed): " + url + " < view.getUrl(): " + view.getUrl());
}

The relevant Logcat snippet is as follows:

11:12:03.716                           D   url: https://smittenkitchen.com/, view: https://smittenkitchen.com/ (called from: MyWebViewClient.onPageFinished)

Any idea what I could be missing in my implementation so that my WebView-based browser displays overlays like Chrome does?

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings

How to load Javascript with imported modules?
