Troubles using webview with tawk.to in android

I am using tawk.to to insert an online chat in my app, with a simple WebView to load the chat, but when I put the url of tawk.to it does not display something. With any other url it works fine and loads the page, but not the chat. I also tried the page 'tawk.to' and it loads.
public class ChatOnlineActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
WebView chatOnlineWebVIew;
ProgressBar loadingChat;
/*MORE CODE HERE*/
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_chat_online);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
String url="https://tawk.to/chat/597771645dfc8255d623ede4/default?fbclid=IwAR3QB_DOoEu9ePTSPJbayOcTIaWtXjuJMUn46qLFTRVNnpPZBTZhsOy6lrs";
//String url="https://tawk.to/"; //JUST TEST URLS
loadingChat=(ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.loadingChatOnline);
chatOnlineWebVIew = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.chatWebView);
WebSettings chatSetting=chatOnlineWebVIew.getSettings();
chatSetting.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
//chatSetting.setMixedContentMode(WebSettings.MIXED_CONTENT_ALWAYS_ALLOW);
chatOnlineWebVIew.setWebViewClient(new chatWebClient());
//chatOnlineWebVIew.getSettings().setMixedContentMode(WebSettings.MIXED_CONTENT_COMPATIBILITY_MODE);
chatOnlineWebVIew.loadUrl(url);
/*MORE CODE HERE*/
private class chatWebClient extends WebViewClient{
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideKeyEvent(WebView view, KeyEvent event) {
loadingChat.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
return super.shouldOverrideKeyEvent(view, event);
}
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, request);
}
#Override
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
loadingChat.setVisibility(View.GONE);
chatOnlineWebVIew.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),url,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); //just massage to test if the urls is correct
super.onPageFinished(view, url);
}
}
}

I was also facing the same issue, my WebView was loading the url but not displaying but now i have fixed my issue by adding these following lines of code
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webSettings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webSettings.setDisplayZoomControls(false);
webSettings.setSupportZoom(true);
webSettings.setDefaultTextEncodingName("utf-8");
and my final activity is look like below

}
webView=findViewById(R.id.wv_chat);

progDailog = ProgressDialog.show(activity, "Loading","Please wait...", true);
progDailog.setCancelable(false);

return true;
}

});

My application keeps on crashing using Webview?

I'm just testing my application at the moment. However, it keeps on crashing on the loading screen. Once it loads it redirects to the login or users account if they have already logged in.
However, I keep getting these error messages in android studios console log when built the application.
W/cr_CrashFileManager: /data/user/0/chrisbeckett.********/cache/WebView/Crash Reports does not exist or is not a directory
// I've put the stars as I can't show the name of the application yet.
W/cr_AwContentsClient: Denied starting an intent without a user gesture, URI http://********.********.com/login
My current code:
package chrisbeckett.**********;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private WebView mWebView;// Instance of WebChromeClient for handling all chrome functions.
private volatile WebChromeClient mWebChromeClient;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview);
// Enable Javascript
WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT);
webSettings.setAppCacheEnabled(true);
webSettings.setAppCacheMaxSize(100 * 1000 * 1000);
mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
mWebView.loadUrl("http://********.*********.com/loading");
}
/**
* Set the WebChromeClient.
* #param client An implementation of WebChromeClient.
*/
public void setWebChromeClient(WebChromeClient client) {
mWebChromeClient = client;
}
}
Further information:
My code works on all web browsers on a desktop when viewing it in a mobile mode in the inspector when testing before putting it in App format.
If you require any more information please let me know.

try below code this may work
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;
}
});

You can use it for Android N
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {
super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
return false;
}
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {
view.loadUrl(request.getUrl().toString());
return true;
}
});

android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in application tag
add above line in your manifest.xml file.

How to call youtube app from WebView to play videos?

I have created an application that uses WebView to view my website, the application is running smoothly and without any bugs, I even uploaded it on the Google Play store. The only thing is that I have youtube video links in my website and they don't work on my application. They appear on the screen and the user can easily click on them, but after clicking the video loading sign appear and stays rotating without any benefit. I know that mobile web browser have no flash player plug-in and I have looked at all the similar questions on StakcOverFlow. So what I would like to do is to make my application call the YouTube app from the android system and let it complete the mission by playing my website youtube videos. I read about Intent methode, but couldn't find anything helpful. Any Suggestions guys?
Thank you svenoaks. Now I have a small error in the code:
package com.parse;

}

// TODO: Implement this method
}
}
onReceive method has an Error.

This worked for me pre KitKat, but now I can't even see the videos in the webview to click on, because of no plug-in. Hopefully it will work for you:
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
{
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
{
// YouTube video link
if (url.startsWith("vnd.youtube:"))
{
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse
(String.format("http://www.youtube.com/v/%s", url.substring("vnd.youtube:".length())))));
return true;
}
return false;
}
#Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl)
{
Toast.makeText(WebActivity.this, "Oh no! " + description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});

Get URL From WebView

I was wondering if there exits another effective way to get the URL that will load up on the WebView. My current code gives the current Url and not the one that will be loaded.
For example if my WebView load this: http://stackoverflow.com
After loading If I click on Questions, I would not get this url http://stackoverflow.com/questions, for some reason I would get http://stackoverflow.com
So my question is how would you get the url that will be loading on a WebView?
This is my code, please help!
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Declaring
WebView browser;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Initializing
browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
browser.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
browser.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
browser.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
// Loading
browser.loadUrl("http://stackoverflow.com");
browser.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
public void onLoadResource(WebView view, String url) {
//here I get the Url, but its not accurate. Sometimes it works, sometiems it doesn't
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), browser.getUrl(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}

Try to get url from this function :
EDIT:
browser.loadUrl("http://stackoverflow.com");
browser.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), url, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.v("TEST", url);
if(url.equals("http://stackoverflow.com/questions")){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "SKIP", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else{
view.loadUrl(url);
}
return true;
}
});
Reference :
shouldOverrideUrlLoading

I know its very late but,for other users if it helps it would be my pleasure.
In ur WebViewClient u can use :
private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
String webUrl=view.getUrl();
return true;
}
}
