Sorry to have to report this.

I have been working on this problem https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/cannot-load-page-in-webview.162735/ (I reported yesterday) for some time.

At this point I have to believe that WebView has a bug and that is why this page doesn't load.

The page in question is "www.leaguesecretary.com".

I am sure it has something to do with all the Ads, or external references but the No natter the page should load - it loads in browsers (all I have tried) just not a WebView

Interesting. It loads on everything I have (all Samsung devices - Internet, Google, Chrome) -

But won't load in WebView container.

not much of a problem here. my swiss army webview app uses a regular webview, so i don't know what the bug is all about. maybe the site's esthetics offends it; it is by far the worst-looking site ever. if i were a webview, i would refuse to load it too. whatever. i can load it and navigate in it (as evidenced by the attached), so let's hear no more talk of bug

run the attached. one or more of the settings will allow the page to load. i borrowed them all from my webview debugging app. you don't need a webchromeclient, but if you want to see all the garbage the site is spewing, you'll need to add one. i just tested; page loads.

One final note. If you are using this doSettings code in a B4XPages program you need to change the JavaObject Init From InitializeContext to just equals Me
JavaObject Init: 
 '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 '    Call doSettings for fix to allow LS webpage to load
 '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Dim jo As JavaObject

' jo.InitializeContext
  jo = Me
  jo.RunMethod("doSettings",    Array(sFLS_WebView))
   '-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
