WebView not loading URL

Question

I want to load a web page in my webView.

Tried placing the webView.loadurl("") in AsyncTask's doinbackground / onpostexecute and in the onresume.

The url is correct but nothing happens it just shows a white page. In the android manifest file internet access is enabled.

What else needs to be done to load a webview? The application does not crash or show any error. In my emulator I set the proxy with my user name and password.

Here is the code I use to load the URL:

webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1); webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClientSubClass()); webView.loadUrl(promoURL);

webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClientSubClass());webView.loadUrl(promoURL); — D-D

I would recommend you to check what callbacks your webViewClient is getting. I'm guessing that the site requests an authentication, so override onReceivedHttpAuthRequest and do something like this

@Override public void onReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, String host, String realm) { Log.d(TAG, "onReceivedHttpAuthRequest")); handler.proceed(username, password); }

Or if the authentication isn't the problem you can always overide onReceivedSslError to see if there is some certificate problem.

As the initial step though, I would recommend you to use the browser to see if you can load the page. I'm having some trouble with an https site that requires authentication, I enter my credentials and the site can't load(this is on android 2.3)

myVideoView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1); myVideoView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClientSubClass()); myVideoView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); myVideoView.setPersistentDrawingCache(0); myVideoView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true); myVideoView.requestFocus(View.FOCUS_DOWN); myVideoView.loadUrl(promoUrl);

try this should work and also check whether it opens with https in normal browser.
