android WebView internet access problem, because of proxy?

Question

Here is my problem:

Emulator(Android 2.2) is able to access internet through browser. (I am behind a proxy so i set the proxy first)

but when i create a webview app, seems like it can not access the internet by webview.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

is set up. So I am afraid it's because of the proxy.

Any clue ? Thanks.

Answer 1

Try adding In OnCreate()

WebView.enablePlatformNotifications();

And adding the following permissions to the manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"></uses-permission>

This should enable your webview to access the proxy info it needs. You may need to restart your emulator (hopefully not).
