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

onReceivedClientCertRequest() is added to WebViewClient since API 21. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebViewClient#onReceivedClientCertRequest(android.webkit.WebView,%20android.webkit.ClientCertRequest)

The solution from the following Stackoverflow post worked for me: Android WebView handle onReceivedClientCertRequest

To test:

• Server URL: https://client.badssl.com/
• Client certificate: https://badssl.com/download/

When client certificate is not setup, you will see "400 bad request".
