Webview shows error “Didn't find class ”android.webkit.RenderProcessGoneDetail"

Question

My tablet Android version is 7.0 and Chrome version 62.0.3202.84.

When first run my webview app, debug window show

Didn\'t find class \"andro

Answer 1

I had the same log message but the worst part is that it was opening chrome to load the page. That was a problem since when the back button was pressed, the user was brought back to the activity with a blank page.

So what I did, is I just set the WebViewClient on the webView:

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

Now the error log is gone and the page is loading in the webview.

Hope this helps anyone!
