android webview with client certificate

Question

I tried for days to use a web view with a client certificate embedded in the application, but it seems to me that the android sdk does not provide any way to do it, is there

Answer 1

If you just need to ignore ssl certificate requests inside the web view, this worked for me on Lollipop:

Inside your web view client, overwrite:

@Override
public void onReceivedSslError(WebView view, SslErrorHandler handler, SslError error) {
    handler.proceed(); // Ignore SSL certificate errors
}

This is useful for debugging webviews against qa/dev/stage environments.
