Android WebView Not Loading Mobile Site

Question

My app shows a list of articles from an RSS feed and when one is selected it shows the article in a web view. The problem is that the web view is displaying the desktop sit

Answer 1

As @WarrenFaith pointed out in comments, this might be happening because of the custom User-Agent string that you are setting with

web.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Android");

Do not set this or make sure your webserver is configured to serve the mobile version of the site when it receives request with user agent as "Android".

  WebSettings settings = view.getSettings();
      settings.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
      settings.setSupportMultipleWindows(true);
      settings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
      settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
      settings.setAppCacheEnabled(true);
      settings.setAppCacheMaxSize(10 * 1024 * 1024);
      settings.setAppCachePath("");
      settings.setDatabaseEnabled(true);
      settings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
      settings.setGeolocationEnabled(true);
      settings.setSaveFormData(false);
      settings.setSavePassword(false);
      settings.setRenderPriority(WebSettings.RenderPriority.HIGH);
      // Flash settings
      settings.setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);

      // Geo location settings
      settings.setGeolocationEnabled(true);
      settings.setGeolocationDatabasePath("/data/data/selendroid");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      SelendroidLogger.error("Error configuring web view", e);
    }

After searching a lot this worked for me -

    webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
    webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);

    webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
    webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    webView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

    webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
    webView.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);

Answer 4

Setting setUseWideViewPort to false solved the problem for me:

mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(false);

Answer 5

You just need to do include following line of code and it will be loading mobile site perfectly!

webView.setInitialScale(1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
