can't open twitter url in android webview

Question

I have a problem in my ANDROID application.

I would like to display a twitter page in my webview but the URL won\'t open.

It keeps loading infinitely.

Answer 1

Your problem is that your shouldOverrideUrlLoading needs to return true to indicate that the host application is managing the load:

private class ApplicationWebViewClient extends WebViewClient { 
    @Override 
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) 
    {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }
}

Answer 2

I had to set the User Agent String on the webview to get it to work.

wv.getSettings().setUserAgentString("silly_that_i_have_to_do_this");

and that worked for me.

Hope it helps someone else!

Answer 3

wv.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);

This worked for me!
