How to Load Cache Page in Webview


I have Cache Manifest applied on HTML Page.

On Chrome Browser when Internet connection goes off, it redirects to cache mode. Well, this is not the case with Android-Webview. It gives following error:

Webpage could not be loaded

net:ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

Have gone through various resources but none seems to help.

Below is the code am using:

package com.example.page;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;

    @Override

        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
        mWebview.setWebViewClient(new Callback());

    }

    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        if (!DetectConnection.checkInternetConnection(this)) {

            finish(); //Calling this method to close this activity when internet is not available.

        } else {

Solution

  • Just include enableHTML5AppCache()

    private void enableHTML5AppCache() {
            mWebview.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
            mWebview.getSettings().setAppCachePath("/data/data/" + getPackageName() + "/cache");
            mWebview.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);
            mWebview.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK);
        }
