I am trying to load a website: Citibank.

This loads fine in the chrome browser ( Mobile and desktop). However, doesn't load with styles and javascript in my webview app.

Note: I am trying to load a desktop website. This is my code:

package .example.asd.webproj;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private WebView mWebview ;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mWebview  = new WebView(this);
        mWebview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
        mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
        mWebview.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.95 Safari/537.36");
        mWebview.getSettings().setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true);
        mWebview.clearCache(true);
        mWebview.clearHistory();
        mWebview.getSettings().setAllowContentAccess(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enable javascript
        mWebview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);

        mWebview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

        mWebview.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
        mWebview.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);

        final Activity activity = this;

        mWebview .loadUrl(".do?locale=en_HK");
        setContentView(mWebview );
    }
}

• webview

Try this line of code,

   mWebview = new WebView(this);

        mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enable javascript

        final Activity activity = this;

        mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
                Toast.makeText(activity, description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

        mWebview.loadUrl("https://www.citibank..hk/HKGCB/JSO/signon/DisplayUsernameSignon.do?locale=en_HK");
        setContentView(mWebview);

Note: Setting the user agent string may or may not fix the issue, it all depends what user agent string the site is looking for. Here are some user agent strings currently being used https://deviceatlas./blog/list-of-user-agent-strings

The problem is with you declare the user agent is webkit. It should have loaded into the default webkit browser and you should enable the javascript.

mWebview.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.95 Safari/537.36");

Try this line of code.

package .example.asd.webproj;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebChromeClient;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private WebView mWebview ;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mWebview  = new WebView(this);
        mWebview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
        mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
        mWebview.getSettings().setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true);
        mWebview.clearCache(true);
        mWebview.clearHistory();
        mWebview.getSettings().setAllowContentAccess(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enable javascript
        mWebview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);

        mWebview.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        mWebview.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false);

        mWebview.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
        mWebview.setScrollbarFadingEnabled(false);

        final Activity activity = this;

        mWebview .loadUrl("https://www.citibank..hk/HKGCB/JSO/signon/DisplayUsernameSignon.do?locale=en_HK");
        setContentView(mWebview );
    }
}

Here you puting UA for the version of Mac OS. so Add Android Phone based UA string. remove this line

mWebview.getSettings().setUserAgentString("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.95 Safari/537.36");

and add this UA String

Mozilla/5.0 (Android 4.4; Mobile; rv:41.0) Gecko/41.0 Firefox/41.0

Reference 2

If anyone is testing in a Virtual device, I would suggest to test in a real device and see the results.
