Enabling HTML5 AppCache in Android Webview programatically.

enableHTML5AppCache.java

private void enableHTML5AppCache() {
		
	      webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
	       
	      // Set cache size to 8 mb by default. should be more than enough
	      webView.getSettings().setAppCacheMaxSize(1024*1024*8);
	       
	      // This next one is crazy. It's the DEFAULT location for your app's cache
	      // But it didn't work for me without this line
	      webView.getSettings().setAppCachePath("/data/data/"+ getPackageName() +"/cache");
	      webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
	      webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);
	      
	      webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT);
	}

thanks.

Thanks a lot 😄

Or you can simply:

File dir = getCacheDir();

if (!dir.exists()) {
  dir.mkdirs();
}

webView.getSettings().setAppCachePath(dir.getPath());

Does this work, even if the appCache is not set in the html5 app?

doesn't make any difference for my usage. Still issues with HTML5 page load.

Hello,
I am trying to call webpage in webview with feature that if user is already login it should redirect to website else on the login page.but this thing work fine on browser but not on webview .please suggest me for this.
Thank you.

@salahzidi it's programming not magic, of course you need to set it on your HTML5 file, it just allows webview to support it

You have to check for internet connectivity before telling to load from cache

thanks!!! a lot!
