How to disable the “save password” dialog on an Android WebView?

Question

I\'d like to know how to prevent an Android WebView form asking to save the \"password-data\" from a html form?

May you can help me out on this?

Answer 1

I have all the above and used the app on my Huawei Ascend P7, which is running higher than 18. But for some reason I am still seeing a confirmation box saying "Do you want the browser to remember this password?"

What could be the reasons of this popup. I have tried the below code.

_viewSettings.setSavePassword(false);  
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT <= 18) {  
    _viewSettings.setSavePassword(false);  
}  
_view.loadUrl(url);

Note: The above doesnt show any save message on Samsung devices.
