I found that I had this problem on KitKat when I used webview.loadData()
. If I instead used webview.loadDataWithBaseURL()
(I used “file:///android_asset/” as the baseURL), then the problem went away.
The methods setAllowFileAccess()
, setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs()
, and setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs()
did not have any affect that I could see.
