Stefan,
Thanks for leading me down the right path. I still encountered situations
where the history wouldn't be cleared if I did it in 'onPageFinished', so I
ended up doing it in 'onProgressChanged' in the WebChromeClient:
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
if (progress == 100 && mClearWebViewOnPageLoaded) {
view.clearHistory();
mClearWebViewOnPageLoaded = false;
}
}
});
