Similar Problem :
JavaScript doesn't work on ICS
I'm working on an Android app that displays some code samples to the user. So, I'm using google-code-prettify in a WebView for syntax highlighting. But, the problem is, the js does not work on ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) alone. It works perfectly on all other Android versions (2.2+) except 4.0.x. This is the code that I'm using.
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webViewSample);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/code_snippets/sample_java.html");
The only error-like message that I get from logcat is UNKNOWN CHROMIUM
ERROR: -6
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
Didn't find any proper solution.. So, I ended up following MoshErsan's suggestion as mentioned here:
This is what I did:
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
@TargetApi(11)
@Override
public WebResourceResponse shouldInterceptRequest(WebView view, String url) {
Log.d("shouldInterceptRequest", url);
InputStream stream = inputStreamForAndroidResource(url);
if (stream != null) {
return new WebResourceResponse("text/javascript", "utf-8", stream);
}
return super.shouldInterceptRequest(view, url);
}
private InputStream inputStreamForAndroidResource(String url) {
final String ANDROID_ASSET = "file:///android_asset/";
if (url.contains(ANDROID_ASSET)) {
url = url.replaceFirst(ANDROID_ASSET, "");
try {
AssetManager assets = getAssets();
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
return assets.open(uri.getPath(), AssetManager.ACCESS_STREAMING);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return null;
}
});
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/code_snippets/sample_java.html");
Don't know what the actual problem is. But, this hack works.
