  • 0

When I try to load the following urls in a Webview all i get is black twitter background with loading spinner. The page is loaded, as WebViewClient.onPageFinished is called. However the page loads ok in the standard Android browser. 

https://twitter.com/#!/scottyab or https://mobile.twitter.com/#!/scottyab

I’m thinking Twitter changed their mobile website as this worked a month or so ago. Anyone else experiencing this?

Updated: javascript enabled mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    Fixed the loading issue by hardcoding the user agent to iPhone’s user agent (I found it worked on the iPhone version of the app)

    mWebView.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3");

    Need to wash my hands after this a dirty hack.
