Android webview Load url doesn't work for Instagram webpage

I realized that not working for under android 4.3 versions.
I have an android app which has webview. When i try to load url "http://instagram.com" it's not working It shows blank page but facebook webpage is working.
It's really important for me please help.
WebView view = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
view.loadUrl("http://www.instagram.com");

Have you tried using the method:
setDomStorageEnabled();
Sets whether the DOM storage API is enabled. The default value is
false.
for example:
WebView view = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
view.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
view.loadUrl("http://www.instagram.com");
I had previously problems loading Facebook and Twitter pages in some devices, solved using setDomStorageEnabled() method.

Android Webview doesn't load

I have a problem with Android Web view.
The slider work fine with Apple but doesn't load on Android WebView.
Can anyone help? www.pgc-usa.net/ivynails
Thanks

I think I know. Web views in Android by default do not have JavaScript enabled. This is because there is someway it can do harm to the app. To enable it though it takes two lines
WebSettings webSettings = yourWebview.getSettings();
yourWebview.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
You can also set it so that links that are clicked open in the web view. ( Otherwise they open in browser.) to add this you just add
yourWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
All that together will make it come to this:
WebView yourWebview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.myWebview);
yourWebview.loadUrl("http://www.pgc-usa.net/ivynails");
WebSettings webSettings = yourWebviewgetSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
yourWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());

WebView in Android not showing web page styles

I am trying to make an Android app display a website in a WebView, but only the website home page actually show content properly via the WebView, the other pages completely disregard the website styles and display content with a white background and blue default hyperlinks. I tested the same type of app on iOS and it works fine there. What can I do about it?
This is the method:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.awesomestories.com");
}

Settings should be set. Tricks Like this:
WebSettings settings = webview.getSettings();
settings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
settings.setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
settings.setSupportZoom(true);

If you have kept Single Column Setting in WebView remove it, it will work just perfect.
myWebView.getSettings().setLayoutAlgorithm(LayoutAlgorithm.SINGLE_COLUMN);
If you have not kept Single Column setting and still its not working, then check that you have enabled JavaScript or not, if not then enable it.
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

Android WebView requires you to explicitly enable javascript.
Styles in the page may be loaded via javascript, and generally websites don't tend to work good without it, so enabling it is important and might solve your problem in addition to that.
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

Web mobile app opening in browser but not in webview

I have problem using webview. When I am opening web mobile url in android browser it is opening perfectly but when i am using webView it is not rendering any view and stuck displaying a progress bar.
I am using below code:
myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.ctn_webview);
WebSettings webSetting = myWebView.getSettings();
webSetting.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSetting.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webSetting.setAppCacheEnabled(true);
webSetting.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webSetting.setJavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically(true);
webSetting.setGeolocationDatabasePath("/data/data/<my-app-pkg>/databases");
webSetting.setGeolocationEnabled(true);
webSetting.setDatabasePath("/data/data/<my-app-pkg>/databases");
webSetting.setDatabaseEnabled(true);
webSetting.setAllowFileAccess(true);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
myWebView.loadUrl(myUrl);
Please note that the page is behind login credential so it redirects to many url in between to reach final page. The login page workes perfectly and after authentication i am redirected to final page where I see a round progress moving (image below). There it should render many buttons and form stuff.
Also when I am opening the same url in the browser in emulator it is working perfectly.
I dont know what I am missing. Please help.

Using local storage on Android webview

I am experimenting with Android code: I would like to store one value using HTML 5 local storage. For this exercise I' using a page as simple as this one:
http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_webstorage_local_clickcount
My manifest does allow me to hit the internet, and it is min-sdk of 7.
Here is my java code:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.addJavascriptInterface(new JavaScriptInterface(this), "Android");
WebSettings webSettings = webview.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webSettings.setDatabasePath("");
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
webview.loadUrl("http://www.xyz.com/test.html");
///xyz.com/test.html is a sample :)
webview.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
}
My problem is that when I close the app, the locally stored value is no longer there. I can browse to the same page using the default browser, and the value is persistent even after closing the emulator, which is exactly the behavior that I am looking for.
This is probably a something extremely simple....any ideas?

It appears the empty string DatabasePath is the problem. I tried similar code and with an empty string path, the value does not persist after the app exits. If I define a specific database path, the value persists as expected.
Try:
webSettings.setDatabasePath("/data/data/"+this.getPackageName()+"/databases/");

If your app use multiple webview you will still have troubles : localStorage is not correctly shared accross all webviews.
If you want to share the same data in multiple webviews the only way is to repair it with a java database and a javascript interface.
This page on github shows how to do this.
hope this help!

Couldn't get it working on all devices (especially with ICS) - even with database path, enabling DOMStorage etc. - using cookies instead helped me out.
