Android Webview gives net::ERR_CACHE_MISS message
I solved the problem by changing my AndroidManifest.xml
.
old : <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.internet"/>
new: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Answers assembled! I wanted to just combine all the answers into one comprehensive one.
1. Check if <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
is present in manifest.xml
. Make sure that it is nested under <manifest>
and not <application>
. Thanks to sajid45 and Liyanis Velazquez
2. Ensure that you are using <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
instead of the deprecated <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.internet"/>
. Much thanks to alan_shi and creos.
3. If minimum version is below KK, check that you have
if (18 < Build.VERSION.SDK_INT ){
//18 = JellyBean MR2, KITKAT=19
mWeb.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
}
or
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) {
mWebView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK);
}
because proper webview is only added in KK (SDK 19). Thanks to Devavrata, Mike ChanSeong Kim and Liyanis Velazquez
4. Ensure that you don't have webView.getSettings().setBlockNetworkLoads (false);
. Thanks to TechNikh for pointing this out.
5. If all else fails, make sure that your Android Studio, Android SDK and the emulator image (if you are using one) is updated. And if you are still meeting the problem, just open a new question and make a comment below to your URL.
I tried above solution, but the following code help me to close this issue.
if (18 < Build.VERSION.SDK_INT ){
//18 = JellyBean MR2, KITKAT=19
mWeb.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
}
