Clear Webview Cache

I was wondering if this is at all possible?

I've tried using the reflection library but it throws up a NoSuchMethod error for the clearCache method. Other methods run successfully so I really don't know why it isn't working.

B4X: 
Dim Obj1 As Reflector

Obj1.Target = WebView1

Obj1.RunMethod2("clearCache","False","java.lang.Boolean")

Am I overlooking something stupid here or is there a reason this can't be done?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Yes! You are defining a clearCache method with a parameter of type "java.lang.Boolean" which is a true Object that is a boxed boolean. The paramater type you need is a boolean primitive "java.lang.boolean". See the list of types Basic4android - Reflection

Sorry to bring this up again but it would seem that the clearCache() method is very temperamental. As in sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I really don't know what's causing it to stop working.

In addition, I've tried clearing out the webviewCache folder created in DirInternalCache but this also doesn't seem to do anything. Argh.
