如何使Android Webview崩溃？

Question

I am testing an Android crash reporting tool and would like to see how it responds to crashes coming from WebViews - ie from the HTML/JavaScript/CSS code running in them.

My question is how to produce such a crash.

Answer 1

From the app side, you can do:

mWebView.loadUrl("chrome://crash");

Note that you can't do that from JS / HTML code directly -- the request for this URL must come from the browser side. But you can use Java Bridge to receive a command from the JS side:

class WebViewCrasher {
    @JavascriptInterface
    public void crash() {
        // post a task to UI thread to load "chrome://crash"
     }
}
mWebView.addJavascriptInterface(new WebViewCrasher(), "crasher");

Then in your JS code you can call:

crasher.crash();

But make sure you are not injecting this object in the release version of your app :)
