Loading image url into webview

Question

I'm trying to load image into a webview from http://loremflickr.com/ , but it doesn't seem to work on android 4.3 . Can anyone explain to me why and how can i fix this ? it work fine for Android 4.4 and Android 5 but not 4.3

Here's my code:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    loadUrlInWebView("http://loremflickr.com/320/240/dog");
}
private void loadUrlInWebView(String _URL) {
    WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewer);
    mWebView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
    mWebView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
    mWebView.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
    WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
    mWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
    mWebView.loadUrl(_URL);
}

private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

    @Override
    public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
        Log.e("TAG", "error code " + errorCode);
    }
}

Answer 1

Whats your mistake:

Don't use

loadUrlInWebView("http://loremflickr.com/320/240/dog");

Use

loadUrl("http://loremflickr.com/320/240/dog");

Finally

 @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    loadUrlInWebView();
}
private void loadUrlInWebView() {
    WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewer);
    mWebView.loadUrl("http://loremflickr.com/320/240/dog");
    mWebView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
    mWebView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
    mWebView.setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled(false);
    WebSettings webSettings = mWebView.getSettings();
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
    mWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());
    mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort (true);

}

private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {

    @Override
    public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
        Log.e("TAG", "error code " + errorCode);
    }
}

Answer 2

You can try this:

WebView mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webviewer);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://loremflickr.com/320/240/dog");

Just load image by this, it will definitely work.
