Android WebView not loading URL

Question

I want to load the URL in WebView

I have used the following Code:

webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview1);
webView.setWebViewCli         


        

Answer 1

First, check if you have internet permission in Manifest file.

You can then add following code in onCreate() or initialize() method-

final WebView webview = (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.webview);
        webview.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
        webview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
        webview.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false);
        webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
        webview.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
        webview.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
        webview.loadUrl(URL);

And write a class to handle callbacks of webview -

public class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                           //your handling...
                return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
        }
    }

in same class, you can also use other important callbacks such as -

- onPageStarted()
- onPageFinished()
- onReceivedSslError()

Also, you can add "SwipeRefreshLayout" to enable swipe refresh and refresh the webview.

And refresh the webview when user swipes screen:

SwipeRefreshLayout mSwipeRefreshLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) findViewById(R.id.swipeRefreshLayout);
            mSwipeRefreshLayout.setOnRefreshListener(new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
                @Override
                public void onRefresh() {
                    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            mSwipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
                            webview.reload();
                        }
                    }, 3000);
                }
            });
