Android webview sometimes not loading images - android

I have a simple Activity to show a webview and a back button. Here is the code that I use to load the URL that I want in the webview.
The webpage that I am loading in on a server online, it has a few form elements plus a few links that when clicked I need to keep loading them inside the webview.
Now the problem is very often the page loads without the images, I can see the form elements though or only blank white page. I am testing this on wifi so internet is working fine.
Why is it not loading images and how can I make sure it does? I even tried making all images in the html page have absolute paths, but that did not help.
Later Edit: I found out what was causing this. Maybe others will run into this. I had this in the manifest file android:hardwareAccelerated="true". After removing it the content inside all the webviews is loading smoothly.
Second later edit: It is terrible, I get the initial page load now, but forms are not submitting and after some going back and forward to the webview, new images do not load anymore. Is it a memory problem? How do I make it start fresh every time?
WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
wv.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
wv.loadUrl(filepath);

On Android 4.4.2, WebView loads slowly

I have a list and when I click on one item of the list, one HTML page is called like that:
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", content, "text/html", "utf-8", "about:blank");
Inside this webview, there is HTML5 video (I'm using this library https://github.com/cprcrack/VideoEnabledWebView). When I enter in full screen mode with the video, then return to the list and click on another item to load an HTML page, this page takes too long to load (like minutes).
This only happens on some 4.4.2 devices, on the emulator it loads quickly.
My hardwareAccelerated is enabled.
I found out that if I rotate the screen, the second page loads quickly. But I tried to reload the page ou setting to clear the view, but it didn't work.
Does anyone has any idea why this happens?
I'm also getting this error:
[ERROR:in_process_view_renderer.cc(193)] Failed to request GL process. Deadlock likely: 0

If your working on web view i would suggest to look on crosswalk and chromium. Its best way to bring in hardware acceleration into the project.

Add a WebView and set it visibility to View.GONE
Like
WebView webView2=new WebView(this);
webView2.setVisibility(View.GONE);

webView2.loadUrl("javascript:MyJSFunction(..)

Android: Improve WebView speed loading local HTML files?

I'm embedding some HTML content (stored locally) in my android application and using a WebView to render it. I'm finding that I always "see" the HTML content being loaded (ie. white bg before the page is rendered), even though it's located as an "asset" inside the app.
To mask this "issue", I'm currently hiding the WebView, sub-classing the onPageFinished() method and showing a ProgressDialog until I the page completes. Which is annoying coz we're only talking seconds here.
I've seen suggestion of using the following:
webview.getSettings().setRenderPriority(RenderPriority.HIGH);
webview.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
...but this doesn't seem to help.
Has anyone managed to overcome this?
(If I could change the WebView's initial bg colour, it might be an improvement, but not ideal)
Many thanks.

Android Webview Cache, Not Caching Javascript DOM changes?

Hi I would like to know if there is a way to make the Android Webview cache changes made to the DOM of the loaded page so that when I go back to it, the previously loaded changes remain.
An example would be I'm on page A, call javascript that adds more html content (from an ajax call or w/e), and then I go to Page B. When I hit the back button to go back to page A, page A only displays what the original page load displays.
Is there any quick way around this?

Try this
WebView view = new WebView(this);
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
view.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
view.clearCache(false);

JQTouch android webView configuration

I'm developing an application which is mainly a webview and will display a JQTouch UI. Two of the 3 views work just fine, however, I have a view which loads another page with a form which does not work at all. This view loads up just fine but when I click the link to go to the form the link just stays highlighted and nothing happens. I have overriden all of the methods in webviewclient and webchromeclient and placed breakpoints within with no luck. None of the hooks catch when I click the links.
The part that truly confounds me is that it works in the phones browser but not in my webview. Is there a setting on webview that I may be missing which would make it act like the phones browser?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

The fix for this was to override onLoadResource as the link was being treated as a resource and not a new page load. I tried calling webView.loadUrl right in the override of loadREsource but that caused an endless loop so I had to write some logic to load the url properly into my webView. This seems a bit hacked but it works.
