Answer 1

It appears to be a bug, more details here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/android-webview-dev/m0EtO3IXNn0

On N+ new ART logging appears to have been introduced letting app developers know about certain binary compatibility problems in their code. Unfortunately, this is triggering for some of the API-level guarded code in WebView.

One example is "Failed resolution of: Landroid/webkit/RenderProcessGoneDetail;", which is triggered whenever a recent version of WebView with O features is used on an N device. This is harmless, but confusing and spammy to developers looking at logcat.

Answer 2

There is a problem with Android after 7.0, but I managed to find a solution. For me it worked to follow this tutorial. In a summary the fragment should look like this:

public class WebFragment1 extends Fragment{     public WebFragment1() {         // Required empty public constructor     }      WebView wvPage1;     String url = "http://apptimist.studio";     @Override     public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,                              Bundle savedInstanceState) {          View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_web_fragment1, container, false);         wvPage1 = (WebView)v.findViewById(R.id.wvPage1);         wvPage1.loadUrl(url);         WebSettings settings = wvPage1.getSettings();         settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);         wvPage1.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());         return v;     }      private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient{         @Override         public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {             // TODO Auto-generated method stub             super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);         }          @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")         @Override         public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {             final Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);             return true;         }          @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)         @Override         public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, WebResourceRequest request) {             view.loadUrl(request.getUrl().toString());             return true;         }     } 

I tried without those two lines, but it was not working, so I included them and it worked. Pay attention to add them

WebSettings settings = wvPage1.getSettings(); settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true); 

There is the notification that there might be a vulnerability to XSS attacks, you should be opening trusted websites preferably.

And here is the layout:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"     android:orientation="vertical"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     tools:context="com.kosalgeek.webviewfragment.WebFragment1">      <WebView         android:id="@+id/wvPage1"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"></WebView>  </LinearLayout> 

Hope that this will help someone as I spent a lot of time looking for the solution
