Absolute need for clearing cache from webview

[ondesic]

I am creating a program that has a webview. All loads fine, but there is a hidden danger that most new users won't find until later. Every website loaded goes into the programs cache. It never clears unluss you manually go in and clear data. I found a huge amount of space being used by the cache. Used long enough and users will have a big problem.
I have searched the forum and no one has a workable solution. There should simply be a webview.ClearCache for ease of use.

ps. Of course in the mean time if there is a workaround, I'd like to know

Thanks

Hi.

Take a look here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/10382-clear-webview-cache.html

And the official documentation for Android WebView: WebView | Android Developers

Note that you probably want to pass true as a parameter not false as in the example.

Martin.

Many thanks Martin. I wonder why no one ever corrected this in the thread you posted. Changing to True made all the difference!
