Android development noob: WebView usage

Question

I've been following this series of Android Development Tutorials and I've encountered some problem trying to tweak one of the projects I've created.

Basically all I want to know is how to apply the WebView correctly in my project - in the easiest and most simple way possible.

What I've done: enabled permission to the internet on the manifest created the webview on the main_activity.xml imported the WebView webkit to my MainActivity Java class

And all I've done after that is simply loading the url on my onCreated method like this:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); WebView v = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.weblol); v.loadUrl("www.google.com"); }

However nothing seems to happen and the block of the WebView remains blank white

Care to explain to a noob what am I doing wrong ?

You should use http://www.google.com instead of www.google.com.
Only you to this,webview can notice this it is a URL.

Otherwise.you can use local file in webview ,like file:///android_asset/xxx in assets folder.
That's all.
