Question

I followed the instructions in the Android WebView tutorial (at http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-webview.html). When I deploy it to the emulator, it just displays a blank (white) page. The 3G icon is present in the emulator. I have the “INTERNET” permission set in my manifest, exactly as described in the tutorial.

And to more clearly confirm that I did it right, when I deploy it to my device (Droid2), it works perfectly fine. immediately displaying the web page specified in the app (www.google.com).

Following this is the relevant Android console output. I would think the last line might be relevant, but I don’t know what it means.
