Hi,
I was wondering if I can use a LiveView website in an android webview.
My initial tests seems to point to a “no” but I’m not an android developer (nor a LiveView expert) so maybe there’s just a little piece missing to make it work.
Here’s a test I made (that can quickly be reproduced)
- use an android app called “Webview test” which is basically a webview with a few additional features allowing to tweak the webview settings and see what’s going on
- pick a website from the made with LiveView repo. (I chose https://6words.xyz]
It fails, like my project, with an "Uncaught typeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'removeItem')" ...
If someone have an idea… (in the mean time, I’ll keep tweaking the webview settings to see if something makes it work 
)
Thanks !
EDIT : setDomStorageEnabled seems to be needed, I’ll keep investigating 
Where Next?

I had a good experience with a GeckoView. It allows you to store the state of the WebView and return to it. WebViews will always re-initialize when they are resumed.
