I have a html5 application that I wrap in a WebView. To store and retrieve user input values between pages, I use the *localStorage* html5 feature.
It works fine on my Nexus 4 (Android 4.4.4), but it does not work on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (Android 4.3.x) (= nothing happens, but also no error in logcat). Or, to be more clear: *on Samsung, it does not work if the html pages are loaded from within the app's asset folder*. It does work though if I put the pages on a web server, as below in the outcommented line. However, on Nexus 4, loading from file:///android_asset/ and also if I load the pages on a desktop browser (Chrome, Firefox) from file:// path, it is also working. (I had another user reported the issue on a LG device, so it does not seem to be Samsung specific). Below are the settings of the web view. webView = (WebView)this.findViewById(R.id.webView); webViewClient = new MyWebViewClient(this); webViewClient.setSm(sm); webView.setWebViewClient(webViewClient); WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings(); webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true); webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true); webView.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON); webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(false); webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE); webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true); webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true); webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false); webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(false); webView.getSettings().setDefaultZoom(WebSettings.ZoomDensity.FAR); webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/01_home.html"); // does NOT work! // webView.loadUrl("http://192.168.178.33/01_home.html"); // does work! Local storage code in the pages: // storingvar data = document.getElementById('data').value; window.localStorage.setItem((1), data); // reading document.getElementById('data').value = window.localStorage.getItem(1); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
