Android Question How to view 'Wunderground' web pages in Webview

[rthyoung26]

I cannot display any webpages from the weather site Wunderground in a webview. The webpage loads but then switches to a solid white screen. I have tried using chrome client as well but no luck. The sites display properly in PC browsers and in other browsers on android. Sample URLs are:

"https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap"
"https://www.wunderground.com/maps/temperature/us-current"

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is a long-shot, but maybe when the screen turns solid white, the webpage actually scrolled out of view?

Things to try:

1) See if the page will scroll into view
2) Try different overview modes
3) Try different zoom views

You may need to use Webviewextras to access the different view/zoom settings.

Add this to your manifest ... maybe it'll help... The pages you entered do not have SSL encryption.

SetApplicationAttribute(android:usesCleartextTraffic, "true")

Yes! There could be parts of the page that are not secure, and could screw up the rendering of the page if blocked - never thought of that!

Thanks for reply, tried all this, zoom bars are visible but still only white screen after about 1/2 second. Prior to that you can see Wunderground page starting to load

Thanks. Already have webviewextras2 incorporated, no luck

Thanks but didn't change anything, still just a white page.

Thanks - but still the same, just white page
