[android-developers] Re: Webview segfault causes process to restart and in rare cases take the Android platform down and turn the phone off

Thanks again to HeHe for the post. I built a simple test app that has a WebView on a page and I call loadURL with null. This reproduces the problem I am seeing. I have notified my contact with the AdSense for Mobile Apps team about this. I'm concerned that this bug remains in the OS, however.

Thanks for the info. Since I don't have control over the webview component (it's wrapped in an AdSense component that I simply place in the main view) I'll have to defer to the AdSense guys to confirm whether or not they check for a null url before calling WebView.loadUrl. - Mike On Feb 12, 6:35

i experienced this weeks ago. it happened because my app calls WebView.loadUrl(url) with null url value. after i added a null check, it seems never happens again. On Feb 12, 4:03 pm, Mike wrote: > Not to beat a dead horse... but obviously it's not dead enough since I > haven't really seen any go
