How can I make webview use the HTML5 cache manifest?

Question

On Android devices up to and including 4.4.2, the default Browser and Chrome support the HTML5 cache manifest. However, on those same devices, the WebView component does not seem to support the HTML5 cache manifest. Does anybody know how I can make the WebView component support the HTML5 manifest?

Answer 1

webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);  // Set cache size to 8 mb by default. should be more than enough webView.getSettings().setAppCacheMaxSize(1024*1024*8);  // This next one is crazy. It's the DEFAULT location for your app's cache // But it didn't work for me without this line webView.getSettings().setAppCachePath("/data/data/"+ getPackageName() +"/cache"); webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true); webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);  webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT);
