how i can do that ? can anyone please help me out.

EDIT : the web page is a sign-up form and i do not own that web page.. i cannot add java script into that page.

Answer 1

I would use javascript in this situation.

Here is how. Make your webview javascript-enabled.

Java code in your webview activity

webview.loadUrl("javascript: fillUpForm(inputId,inputValue)");

javascript in your html file

function fillUpForm(id,value)
{
  document.findElementById(id).value=value;
}

Frankly, I am no expert in javascript. But this should give you starting point.

Well, in your case,

I would try this

view.loadUrl("javascript:(function(){document.getElementById('trop').value='some value';})()");
