WebView on Android 7.0+ doesn't render page

Question

I have WebView screen with license. And everything worked perfectly until users notified me that nothing shows on Android 7+ devices.

public class DefaultWebActi         


        

Answer 1

From Android doc

This is pre Android N

@Deprecated
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
    return false;
}

This is since Android N

• @return True if the host application wants to leave the current WebView
  • and handle the url itself, otherwise return false.

@Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
        return true;
    }

This method is from Android N , so for this reason you have this issue only in Android N. Returning false you should solve your problem.
