Android WebView stopped unexpectly after loading an url

Question

Hello,

i have a big problem and i did not find a solution for my problem.

I try to load an url and i use this tutorial: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html

My Code:

public class HomeView extends Activity {

WebView mWebView;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    try
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.home);

        mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.google.de");

    }
    catch (Exception e) {

    }
}

}`

my home.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/webview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

Now my problem. If i start the program everything works fine. The page is loading and i see it on the screen. but then after everything is loaded, i get the following message (the application has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.) and my programm is terminated.

Hope somebody can help me.

Cheers, Roland

Answer 1

It was just a small mistake in my code.

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)

With @Override everything works fine.
