Question

Is it possible to get a Android WebView to open a port like: 5984?
I need to get some jquery from the ‘assets-folder’ to $.get() my counchdb json-data via the webview.

But first I just make a little test to see if android´s webview could get a response from counchdb:

webview.loadUrl("http://127.0.0.1:5984");

If I use the android´s build-in browser then I get:

{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.2.0a-7b47329-git"} 

But NOT via Android´s WebView, I just get a blank screen(see code) 🙁

A little update:
I look like if I switch for Vertical to horizontal, then
I get the data from couchdb(see log).

So maybe couchdb need to be in it own thread..

Answer 1

it look like couchdb must have some time to startup… so if you just put all your couchdb request inside, func like jquerys onclick(), or keyup()… then all is god.
