Didn\'t find class \"andro

Answer 1

There is a problem with Android after 7.0, but I managed to find a solution. For me it worked to follow this tutorial. In a summary the fragment should look like this:

public class WebFragment1 extends Fragment{
    public WebFragment1() {
        // Required empty public constructor
    }

    WebView wvPage1;
    String url = "http://apptimist.studio";
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_web_fragment1, container, false);
        wvPage1 = (WebView)v.findViewById(R.id.wvPage1);
        wvPage1.loadUrl(url);
        WebSettings settings = wvPage1.getSettings();
        settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        wvPage1.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
        return v;
    }

    private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient{
        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
        }

        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            final Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
            return true;
        }

        @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
            view.loadUrl(request.getUrl().toString());
            return true;
        }
    }

I tried without those two lines, but it was not working, so I included them and it worked. Pay attention to add them

WebSettings settings = wvPage1.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

There is the notification that there might be a vulnerability to XSS attacks, you should be opening trusted websites preferably.

And here is the layout:

Hope that this will help someone as I spent a lot of time looking for the solution
