webView not displaying website when offline

I have an app that registers with GCM for push notifications. That code works fine and is not the source of my problem. Once registered, the app simply displays a website in a WebView. So far so good all this works if the device's network adapter is switched on.

If the network adapter is switched off then the webview should load from cache. This part is not working. I have followed the tutorial below and taken parts from it in a bit to save the website pages in a cache saved on the sdcard.

If i run the app the web site is displayed. If i then turn off the network adapter and visit the site, it will not display. I check the cache directory on the sdcard and parts of the site have been written to the cache.

Why doesn't the site load from cache when off-line?

Is it possible to keep the webpages it the cache until say the app is uninstalled or android decides otherwise?

tutorial

The tutorial shows you how to create a directory on the sdcard and write to it. The directories do exist but the webview is not restored from this cache in offline mode.

below is how i call the mainactivity that displays the webview.

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
                //i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
                i.putExtra("name", "hardcoded client name");
                i.putExtra("email", "hardcoded email");
                startActivity(i);
                finish();

Here is the full MainActivity. You can ignore the first part as that's the code that handle the GCM push notification stuff, that all works. I need to know why the webview will not load from cache.

            return super.getCacheDir();
        }
    }
}

I thought i'd include a little logging. This is the logging from a fresh install with the network adapter ON.

One thing i've noticed, it might be nothing, but registeractivity is the activity that calls MainActivity. RegisterActivity just has a button that fires an Intent for MainActivity. After the network adapter is off i have to press the button on registerAcivity, which calls onCreate in MainActivity. It is like it's a new instance of MainActivity?? Could this be effecting the caching of the webview. Effectively the onDestroy of the main activity must have been called along the way.

Also another thing has caught my attention.

This is not what http cache is intended for. If you want to enable offline access for html pages you should use AppCache. Try these two tutorials:

I would not use AppCache if you are writing a native Android app. Load the documents you want to serve yourself, and load them into the webview with either WebView.loadData(...) or create a ContentProvider and use WebView.loadUrl with a content:// prefix. Using ContentProvider is the best way, but loading a data url should be quick to test.

I hope this will get you started, reply if you need help loading the data from a URL in your app.

For that particular URL http://bmi.cubecore.co.uk, your WebView's caching is prohibited by that http server, see the response header Cache-Control:

200 OK
... ...
Pragma: no-cache
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT

This means the client must always connect and load the URL from http server, never from its local cache. That also explained why Unknown chromium error: -400 occurred when you try to load the page after network adapter is switched off. Unknown chromium error: -400 generally means failed to connect internet for some reason.

There is nothing you can do without login and adjust the http server settings. You can use the following URL exam your cache implementation:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14549638/webview-not-displaying-website-when-offline

The response header is:

200 OK
... ...
Last-Modified: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:28:59 GMT
Vary: *
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Cache-Control: public, max-age=60
Expires: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:29:59 GMT

If there is no other issue in your code, your cache implementation should work.
