Question

In my webview I have loaded a URL which have an embeded video player of a tv channel live stream. It is working correctly in all the OS version of Android except ICS(4). First time It plays the video well, but when I go back and come again in that page containing the video then the video doesnt loads and shows a blank white page. If I force stop the app from the application setting and start the app again then It runs well then appears white screen again as usual, I have implemented a lot of tactics and this is the latest , I am totally stuck here:

public class Livetvwebview extends Activity {

    RelativeLayout a;
    WebView webtv;
    String url;
    VideoView video;
    WChromeClient chromeClient;
    WebViewClient wvClient;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
        setContentView(R.layout.livewebview);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                "Channel is loading..This may take upto a minute",
                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        url = getIntent().getStringExtra("tvchannel");
        Log.i("TVURL", url);
        webtv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webViewlive);
        webtv.clearCache(true);
        webtv.loadUrl(url);

        webtv.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        webtv.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);

        webtv.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);

        webtv.setWebChromeClient(new WChromeClient());
        webtv.setWebViewClient(new myWebClient());
        webtv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        webtv.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);

        webtv.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
    }



    public class myWebClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);

        }

        @Override

            view.loadUrl(url);

            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);

        }
    }

    @SuppressLint("NewApi")
    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        WebSettings webSettings = webtv.getSettings();
        webSettings.setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
        webtv.onPause();
        this.finish();
        super.onPause();

    }

        return dir.delete();
    }

Can anyone help me please?

Answer 1

After researching for a long long time I myself figured out that when I write in the onPause()

webtv.destroy();

instead of

webtv.onPause();

solves the problem 🙂
