ERR_ACCESS_DENIED in webView in android

Question

i have created a webview app for android studio. but didn't load the web url. the error is net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED. can anyone help with this

Answer 1

For me the problem was a bit silly, I had originally forgot to add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" in the manifest and launched the app. After I added android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" it still gave ERR_ACCESS_DENIED. I then cleared the data, un-installed the app, re-installed it and bam, the error is gone.

Answer 2

Just started to develop android apps and got the same error even when I had permission:

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

Then I've uninstalled the app inside emulator and build again and now the app can access internet.

Try add these to your webview code:

webView.getSettings().setAllowContentAccess(true);
webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);

If it still doesn't work, try add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to your application tag in your manifest.
