How to disable cache in android webview?

Question

In my android webview my webpage is loading even without internet because of cache, so i want to disable cache in android webview, can anyone help me how to do this?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Even though I had the below two lines, my webview was still loading old data.

webview.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(false); webview.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);

My mistake was, i had this cache related settings after I called the loadUrl() on webview. After I moved these cache settings ahead of loadUrl(), i had everything working as expected.

Answer 2

Please add below code

        mWebView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(false);
        mWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);

Please remove app from history task and test its working.

Just after creating your webview, before loading any pages, you can clear the cache.

myBrowser.clearCache(true) - the boolean indicates if you wish to delete the cached files on disk as well.
