Android javascript injection, how would I call this function $(document).ready(function(){...})

Question

I am working on some javascript injection into m android webview. I am just not completely sure of the syntax it is looking for

I want to call this function in my html page: $(document).ready(function({...})

I have a webview and javascript interface setup in my app. I also have javascript enabled

    myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/mydocument.html");
    myWebView.addJavascriptInterface(new myJavaScriptInterface(), "jsintector");
    myWebView.loadUrl("javascript:ready()");

the javascript:ready() is supposed to be the part in the android that calls the correct function in the html page. What is the proper syntax to access this function? $(document).ready(function({...})

(edit: the javascript is already in the html, I just want to force it to run from the android side)

the function is already there in the html data? or you want to inject it? — Sherif elKhatib, Aug 04 '11 at 19:16
the function is already in the html data, I want to force it to execute on the occassions that android does not load it properly — CQM, Aug 04 '11 at 19:21

Try to search before...

Anyway, the simplest way to do this is to do the following:

load the url into a string
inject the javascript into the string
use loaddata to load the html into the webview

Yeah, you have to force android to load javascript sometimes even after the page has loaded, if you search you'll see this is a common problem here - frequently unanswered. The javascript is already in the html file – CQM Aug 04 '11 at 19:20
