I am experiencing some very puzzling and frustrating behavior from a WebView. The WebView exists as the only child of a LinearLayout- that is, it fills the entire screen. Viz-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <WebView android:id="@+id/webview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/> </LinearLayout> In the enclosing Activity's onCreate, I do like this: webview.loadData("<html>Try <a href='http://www.somehost.com/ documents/some-document.pdf'>this</a>", "text/html", "UTF-8"); The WebView renders that HTML fine. When I click on the link, I can see (through a debugging web proxy) that the WebView does an HTTP GET for http://www.somehost.com/documents/some-document.pdf, like this: GET /documents/some-document.pdf HTTP/1.1 Host: www.somehost.com Accept-Encoding: gzip Accept: application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/ plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 1.5; en-us; sdk Build/ CUPCAKE) AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Mobile Safari/525.20.1 Accept-Language: en-US Accept-Charset: utf-8, iso-8859-1, utf-16, *;q=0.7 and the server at somehost.com replies like this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 03 Oct 2009 23:51:59 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6 Last-Modified: Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:58:28 GMT ETag: "19d190-aab5-467b908050500" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 43701 Content-Type: application/pdf Then the server at somehost.com starts streaming the PDF data, as the entity of the reply. However, after it streams 10K or so of the data, the client side socket (i.e.- the one controlled by the WebView code) closes the socket prematurely. The document referenced by the link is not downloaded- the WebView simply stays on the original page. Any idea why the Android-controlled socket it closes abruptly? Is there any way I can turn on some low-level socket debugging on Android that I might be able to see logging output from via LogCat or something? Thanks in advance for any help!
