I'm developing a mobile app which shows a webview to users. In android 7.1.1 and higher versions all urls render perfectly fine, but in android 6 I've got some problems with some urls. For example, if I render https://www.amazon.com, it works fine in my android 6 emulator:
But if I try with some other urls, for example https://slack.com/intl/es-ar/, I've got a blank screen:
My kotlin code is the following:
package com.example.webview
import android.os.Bundle
import android.webkit.WebView
import android.webkit.WebViewClient
import androidx.activity.enableEdgeToEdge
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.core.view.ViewCompat
import androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsCompat
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var webView: WebView
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
enableEdgeToEdge()
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(findViewById(R.id.main)) { v, insets ->
val systemBars = insets.getInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.systemBars())
v.setPadding(systemBars.left, systemBars.top, systemBars.right, systemBars.bottom)
insets
}
webView = findViewById(R.id.webView)
webView.webViewClient = WebViewClient()
webView.loadUrl("https://slack.com/intl/es-ar/")
webView.settings.javaScriptEnabled = true
webView.settings.domStorageEnabled = true
webView.settings.setSupportZoom(true)
}
}
I'm not sure what could be the problem.
Slack is using Let's Encrypt for SSL certificates (at least for that site), and Let's Encrypt only supports Android 7.0 and higher.
