Android WebView doesn't load jQuery

Question

I\'m making a webapp and I\'m using jQuery.

I\'ve made a simple android application with a WebView in it, and I load my url: www.mydomain.com

In mydomain.com

Where is your js/jquery_1.4.2_min.js script located? If it is located in your assets directory, then you should initialize the webView giving it the assets directory as baseUrl:

webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", data, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);

or

webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/file.html");

You could try to create a simple .js file with a simple function like

function dummy(document) { document.write("Hooray it works"); }

and try to access the dummy function in your html to test if the .js file is included.
