WebView attributes like setJavaScriptEnabled,setBuiltInZoomControls etc. are not being saved

The features are enabled once the onCreate() methood is executed for the first time, but after i do a screen rotation none of the features get saved, even though I've overridden the onSaveInstanceState() method and I've also tried using the onRestoreInstanceState() method.
Kindly help me out.
I'll attach the code below.

restoreState is not reliable, based on the documentation for restoreState :
If it is called after this WebView has had a chance to build state
(load pages, create a back/forward list, etc.) there may be
undesirable side-effects. Please note that this method no longer
restores the display data for this WebView.
Based on the documentation for saveState:
Please note that this method no longer stores the display data for
this WebView
You have to reload your WebView in onCreate(). You can store the URL in SharedPreference and load it in onCreate().
Another alternative is to handle the Orientation by your self and keep WebView unchanged. You can handle the orientation change by adding android:configChanges="orientation" in your manifest and Overriding onConfigurationChanged().

webview android app not loading any image or navigate in the website link

I am trying to load the site in an android app web view.
The site loads without the images ,all the images from the site are not loaded and i can't add to the cart product or even open details of other product
The code for MainActivity.java is shown below.

import android.view.Menu;

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview);
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://shopliek.com");
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyAppWebViewClient(){
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
//hide loading image
findViewById(R.id.progressBar1).setVisibility(View.GONE);
//show webview
findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}});
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(mWebView.canGoBack()) {
mWebView.goBack();
} else {
super.onBackPressed();
}
}
private ShareActionProvider mShareActionProvider;
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
/** Inflating the current activity's menu with res/menu/items.xml */
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);

mShareActionProvider = (ShareActionProvider) menu.findItem(R.id.share).getActionProvider();
/** Setting a share intent */
mShareActionProvider.setShareIntent(getDefaultShareIntent());
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
/** Returns a share intent */
private Intent getDefaultShareIntent(){
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("text/plain");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Make your Life Easier");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT," Visit google");
return intent;
}
}
and also this MyAppWebViewClient:
public class MyAppWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
if(Uri.parse(url).getHost().endsWith("www.shopliek.com")) {
return false;
}
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
view.getContext().startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
}
I'm beginner so please explain kindly with simple instruction and thanks

Try this
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
Hope this will work. Let me know if it works.

I've used the below code & everything worked correctly: show pictures, details page ... ...

web.setWebViewClient(new myWebClient());
web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.loadUrl(WebserviceUrl.BASE_URL);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();

I tried putting a progress dialog in this code but the app stops. I put it in the webclient class but after i ran the app the progress dialog appeared but the app stops. I already deleted that part so you can see the working code. How can I do it?

You have to add a ProgressBar object in your layout, but hidden. Then, when a page starts loading, you show the progress bar:
ProgressBar progress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progress);
progress.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
You can even override the progress change
#Override
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int percentage) {
ProgressBar progress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progress);
progress.setProgress(percentage);
}
For this last method, you have to extend WebChromeClient.

I'm not able to find whats wrong with this code. Someone please help me out. I used same code in other project as well and in that project it worked fine. I'm just trying to open a URL to load it in a WebView and I already gave internet permission in the manifest file.
Here's the code:
package com.example.itmuantiragging;

import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.AsyncTask;

import android.widget.Toast;
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public class Fragment_Website extends Fragment {
WebView wv;
ProgressDialog pg;
Background bg;
public Fragment_Website() {}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_website, container,false);
//Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Loading... Please Wait..",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
wv = (WebView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.webView1);
bg = new Background();
bg.execute();
return rootView;
}
public void progress(){
pg = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());
pg.setTitle("");
pg.setMessage("Please Wait.........");
pg.setCancelable(false);
pg.setIndeterminate(true);
pg.show();
}
class Background extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>
{
#SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
#Override

// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try{
wv.loadUrl("http://www.siddharth.uphero.com/MTNL_address_locator.html");

}
wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);

wv.setWebViewClient(new MyWebClient());
return null;
}

}
}
}

You can only update views on the UI thread.

I don't understand why you are doing background operation as WebView has it's own method to handle it. You use WebView right so you can directly load URL in android WebView using the following method.
webview.loadUrl(url)
So now question is how to show progress bar. Ok there is build in method onPageStarted() and onPageFinished() where you can start progress and stop progress. Move the following code inside onCreateView() method.
wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
wv.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
wv.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
wv.setWebViewClient(new MyWebClient());
Hope it make sense.

Once in a while it will crash with a nullPointerException on the line progressBar.hide() under onPageFinished(). That doesn't make any sense since onPageStarted() starts the progressBar, and onPageStarted always comes before onPageFinished(). Why is this?
This only happens like, once in 10 times or something, which is really confusing to me.
It usually happens (always?) when the activity is being started for the first time.

try this
if(progressBar!=null)
progressBar.hide();

Maybe the Activity has been restarted in between the two callbacks? Try rotating the phone while the progressBar is shown to see what the results are.

Try to load progress bar as singleton object. If you create anther progress bar object before hide first one then second progress bar will crash in hide().
if(_progressBar == null)
_progressBar = new ProgressDialog(this);
