JavaScript not working in Android Webview?

Question

I'm trying to make an Android version of a relativly simple iOS app that uses a webview, some buttons and then relies on javascript calls to a CMS.

But I'm stuck at a pretty early point of development: The webview doesn't function with javascript.I've read a lot of posts about how to enable JS in an Android webview, but no luck so far.

Below is some of my code:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);     setContentView(R.layout.main);      mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);     mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);     mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());     mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient()     {         @Override           public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url)           {               //Calling an init method that tells the website, we're ready              mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:m2Init()");             page1(mWebView);         }       });   mWebView.loadUrl("http://my_url/mobile/iphone//app.php");   }  private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {     @Override     public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {         view.loadUrl(url);         return true;     }  }   @Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {     if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {         mWebView.goBack();         return true;     }     return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); }  public void page11(View view) {     mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:m2LoadPage(1)"); } 

What am I doing wrong here? The URL is working perfectly in my iOS app, and in a browser. But not in my app!

Please tell me it's something obvious...

FIXED! Spurred on by the error, I found out that I needed to set

setDomStorageEnabled(true)

for the webview settings.

Thanks for your help Stephan :)
