Access-Control-Allow-Origin Error At Android 4.1

Question

I have problems with Access-Control-Allow-Origin at Android 4.1

In my application i have some local HTML files and Javascripts which i was using to fetch data from web services. Until trying Android 4.1 there was no problem but after trying at Android 4.1 i got this error.

I read lots of documents but i couldn't find a way to solve this problem.

Answer 1

you need to do something like

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) 
  wv.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true);

Answer 2

@I am Developer and the others who are facing the same problem.

Slushis solution works fine. But if you want to compile against and support systems below API11 you have to add the following:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 16) {  
    Class<?> clazz = webView.getSettings().getClass();
    Method method = clazz.getMethod("setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs", boolean.class);
    if (method != null) {
        method.invoke(webView.getSettings(), true);
    }
}

This will load and invoke the method at runtime, so you can compile with e.g. Android 2.3.3.
