I've been banging my head against a wall this afternoon trying to get a WebView to work. Below is the code in the main class:
public class fkyougoogle extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
WebView webview;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
// WORKS
//webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
// DOESN'T WORK
//webview.loadUrl("http://www.theregister.co.uk");
//webview.loadData("<html><body>hello</body></html>", "text/html", "utf-8");
//webview.loadDataWithBaseURL("fake://", "<html><body>hello</body></html>", "text/html", "utf-8", "http://www.theregister.co.uk/");
}
}
This is Google's "Hello, Webview" example. If I use a WebView and try to access www.google.com then it works fine. If I try to access any other site then it fails including loadData and it just displays a black screen in the emulator. In the end I would like to read from a local file.
is included under the manifest tag and the XML schema is the same as the Hello Webview example.
Am I missing something obvious here? :(
