WebView - WebPage not available

I (like many others) followed the webview tutorial, but I can't get pages to load. Everything comes up as 'Webpage not Available'

I have ensured that the emulator does have internet access, and just to rule out a problem with the emulator I tried installing it on my phone, which resulted in the same behavior.

I have read that the biggest issue is people not putting the INTERNET permission in my manifest file, which I have tried putting as a child of different elements in the manifest to no avail. Does anyone know why I can't get this to load?

Here is my code:

Manifest:

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <activity android:name=".AndroidTestActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    </activity>     
</application>
</manifest>

AndroidTestActivity

public class AndroidTestActivity extends Activity {
    WebView webview;
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.main);

            webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
            webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

            webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com/m");

            Intent intent = getIntent();
            // To get the action of the intent use
            System.out.println(intent.getAction());
            // We current open a hard-coded URL
            try {
                webview.setWebViewClient(new AndroidTestClient());

            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }

        @Override
        public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
            if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && webview.canGoBack()) {
                webview.goBack();
                return true;
            }
            return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
        }

        private class AndroidTestClient extends WebViewClient {
            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                view.loadUrl(url);
                return true;
            }
        }
}

Thanks!

Why is my WebView not working?

You might often face issues in updating the chrome and Android System Webview. To fix this problem, you can reboot your device, check your internet connection, stop auto-updating all apps, clear Google Playstore cache, and storage, leave the beta testing program, and manually update Android WebView app from Playstore.

Does Play store accept WebView app?

Can I upload my blog's WebView app to Google Play? Yes, you can.

Your internet permission should be an immediate child of "manifest" - shouldn't be under "application".

e.g.

<manifest 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.mypackage.name"
    android:installLocation="auto"
    android:versionCode="3210" android:versionName="1.1.0"> 

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

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="6" android:targetSdkVersion="10"/>

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:debuggable="true">

    <!-- activities go here -->

    </application>
</manifest>
