OnRecivedError doesn't show the custom error page

Question

I am using onReceivedError with a custom error page to show when internet is not available in a WebView. Below is the code I use for it. It doesn't work. It simply shows the webpage not available page when internet is not available.

Anyway the logcat shows me this error:

I/chromium﹕ [INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "Not allowed to load local resource: file:///android_asset/webkit/android-weberror.png", source: data:text/html,chromewebdata (0)

my code is

private class myWebViewBrowser extends WebViewClient {
    /*@Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }*/
    @Override
    public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request, WebResourceError error) {
        super.onReceivedError(view, request, error);
        Log.e(String.valueOf(error.getErrorCode()), error.getDescription().toString());
        view.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/error.html");
    }
}

Answer 1

you can change

view.loadUrl(...);

to

view.loadDataWithBaseURL( "file:///android_asset/", html, "text/html","utf-8", null );

where

• "file:///android_asset/" is your base url for load html

• html is your html string

• "text/html" is mime type for content

• "utf-8" is encoding style

• and last url as null, its for history reference.

Try Following Code :

private class myWebViewBrowser extends WebViewClient {

@Override
public void onReceivedError(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request, WebResourceError error) {

    Log.e(String.valueOf(error.getErrorCode()), error.getDescription().toString());
    view.loadDataWithBaseURL( "file:///android_asset/", html, "text/html","utf-8", null );   
    }
}

    @Override
