android webview with https connection and basic auth. How to get this working?

Question

I have researched and researched and researched this until I\'ve gone grey and bald. How on earth do I get a webview to work for a site that needs http basic authentication over

Answer 1

for handling authorization on your site, just override the following method in your webViewClient and add username and password in its handler.

@Override
        public void onReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, String host, String realm) {
            handler.proceed(StringUtils.AUTH_NAME,StringUtils.AUTH_PASS);
        }
