WebView loadUrl works only once

Question

EDIT: I worked on this project years ago and unfortunately I cannot verify if any of the answers is working in the given scenario.

I am having hard time with one Web

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue. I was creating a new Webview everytime. Just first destroy your previous webView before creating a new one. I hope this help!! Make your webview a global variable. Like -

Webview w;

then before creating a new webview just destroy the previous one

                if(null != w)
                {
                    //destroy the previous webview, before creating the new one
                    w.destroy();
                }
                w= new WebView(activity);

Answer 2

I have spent the last day or so working on an application that utilised a WebView. I did have a few issues with loading data into the WebView.

I am not entirely sure this would work but perhaps replace this code:

public void reLoadUrl() {
    wv.loadUrl(Constants.BLOG_URL);

}

with this code:

public void reLoadUrl() {

    wv.clearView();
    wv.loadUrl(Constants.BLOG_URL);

}

maybe when you clear the WebView it will solve the issue

Answer 3

I had the same issue, calling resumeTimers() solved the problem for me...

Answer 4

Try to load a blank page before:

wv.loadUrl("about:blank");
wv.clearHistory();
wv.clearView();
wv.loadUrl(Constants.BLOG_URL);

Edit: This is a code I used before because I had problems with this too, please try it.

Answer 5

I'd suggest you try recreating the WebView every time you use it and see if that makes any difference.

First save context, layout parms and parent.

Context context = wb.getContext();
ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = wv.getLayoutParams();
ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup)wv.getParent();

Then stop it loading and remove the view from its parent.

wv.stopLoading();
parent.removeView(wv);

Then recreate and add it back.

wv = new WebView(context);
parent.addView(wv, lp);

That may be other properties that you'll need to restore, but that's the general idea.

Answer 6

I am facing the same issue and got it working by following steps:

webView.clearCache(true);
webView.loadUrl("Url");

and I got the multiple url loaded successfully.
