Display the Android WebView's favicon

Question

I'd like to display the favicon of the website I am accessing via the android.webkit.WebView. I've tried two ways to get it:

1) WebViewClient.onPageStarted() method has a favicon parameter that is always null.

2) WebChromeClient.onReceivedIcon() method is never called.

3) Called WebView.getFavicon() in onPageStarted() and onPageFinished() but it always returns null.

I haven't been able to find an example online that shows how to access the favicon. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I think to remember that there is a method getFavicon() available for the WebView object. here is my stupid question did you try that?
