In this article we will show you the solution of WebView not loading URL android, WebView can be used to serve a web application (or merely a web page) as a component of a client application.

A web page can be displayed as part of your activity layout using the WebView class, which is an extension to Android's View class.

It lacks elements seen in a fully functional web browser, like navigation controls and an address bar.

By default, WebView just displays web pages. When you want to include content that you might need to update in your app, for instance an end-user agreement or even a user guide, using WebView is frequently advantageous.

To display your content that is hosted online, you can build an Activity inside of your Android app that includes a WebView.

If your programme gives the user access to data that must always be retrieved from the Internet, like email, WebView can be useful in this situation.

In this situation, creating a WebView inside your Android app that displays the web page filled with user data may be simpler than making a network request, analyzing the response, and then rendering the data in an Android layout.

               }
            }
            webView!!.loadUrl("http://www.tutorialspoint.com")
      })
   }
}

Android manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="app.com.myapplication">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" >
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

1. First we have to create an import function with the name android.app.activity.
2. Then we create a class with an activity.
3. Then we create a private webview function.
4. Then we create an override function.
5. Then we create a public void as a bundle saved instance state.
6. Then we create webview.load URL for the creation of link.

Conclusion :-

In the WebView, JavaScript is just by default turned off.With the WebSettings connected to your WebView, you can make it active.

Get WebSettings using the getSettings() method, and then turn on JavaScript using the setJavaScriptEnabled method().
