Hi all,

I have a WebView in my layout which I want to display a web page in.
However the webpage requires Basic Authentication.

If I try to access this web page in the normal android browser, I get
prompted for a username and password which then gets remembered and
works for the site in future.

I want to do the same thing in my application, but when I load the
page into the webview it just comes straigt up with the Unauthorised
message without prompting.

I guess the prompting for Authentication is  written in code in the
android browser. Does anyone know how to inject a username and
password into the WebView?

I have done a search arond and found the setHttpAuthUsernamePassword
(String host, String realm, String username, String password) Method,
But  can't seem to get it to work and I can't find anyone else who has
either? Not sure if I am giving it the correc parameters as I'm a
little confused by what is means as the Realm?

I assumed that if the site was myhost.dyndns.org then the hostname
would be myhost and the realm would be dyndns.org? This didn't seem to
work. I also tried connecting by IP Address but that makes the Realm
setting even more confusing?

Any ideas on how I can get this working?

Thanks, Matt.
