URL not loading in WebView (Android)

Hi!

I'm trying to load a 'chart' from a URL in a WebView but it doesn't work. However some other URLs load.

This is the URL:

http://api.thingspeak.com/channels/14210/charts/1

This is how I'm doing it:

mPlotWebView.loadUrl("http://api.thingspeak.com/channels/14210/charts/1");

And this is the error I get:

E/chromium﹕ [ERROR:buffer_manager.cc(313)] [.Parent-Compositor-0xa3117b00]GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_OPERATION : glBufferData: <- error from previous GL command

How can I do it?

Thanks!

I missed the part where you said other URLs are loading properly.

Try enabling Javascript:

mPlotWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

Have you set a weblient for your webview?

mPlotWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
