Question

I have an app out which displays this link in a web view when a user presses e-mail:

https://marauder.millersville.edu/mail/index.pl

I developed the app on an Droid X, and on my phone the link loads fine, but I have had reports from users who have an Incredible & Droid X that the link loads a blank screen.

I have tested it myself on a friends Incredible, and it indeed only loads a white screen, but I have have tested it on various other android devices and its loads fine.

And every other links also loads fine on the Incredible. I am assuming it has something to do with the SSL, being a https. I had troubles with this link on an iPhone but was able to fix it. What puzzles me is why it works fine on some devices and not on others..

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Here is how I am setting up my web view:

    // setup webview
    web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
    web.setWebChromeClient(new InternalWebViewClient());

    web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    web.getSettings().setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
    web.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
    web.getSettings().setSupportMultipleWindows(true);
    web.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
    web.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);
    web.getSettings().setSaveFormData(true);
    web.getSettings().setSavePassword(true);
    web.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    web.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(true);
    web.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);

The site you are trying to load uses self signed certificates. The solution is to ignore certificate checking as described here: Does the Web View on Android support SSL?
