if you read the documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/share
you'll see that there is currently no support for webview.

but if all you want in some site's icon, you can always try to download it with okhttputils2 from, eg, https://www.b4x.com/favicon.ico.
if the icon is kept somewhere else, you'll have to track it down first.

thanks drgottjr i don't need dowanlod site icon i want only to make share icon work is there any way to make it work or open sharing page

the web share api does not work in webview. there is no question of "enabling" it or "making it work" or opening a "sharing page". it is not supported by webview.

if you want to share resources with other apps, that is a different matter. you can download a web icon and share it with another app.
