Has anyone had problems getting the webview to appear when using the new SDK? I had it working with the old SDK but now it just doesn't appear. This is what i have.

<WebView
 
android:id="@+id/myWV"
 
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
 
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
 
/>

WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.myWV);
 
                wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
 
                wv.bringToFront();
 
                wv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
 
                wv.getSettings().setTextSize(WebSettings.TextSize.NORMAL);
 
                StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder();
 
                data.append("<html><body>TEST</body></html>");
 
wv.loadData(data.toString(), "text/html", "utf-8");

What seems even more odd is that it will display fine in debug mode, but not run mode.

Has anyone else ran into this? I can't seem to track it down.

It probably the the layout width and height.
try to change them from wrap_content to fill_parrent

you were right! Although I couldn't set height to "fill_parent" b/c I just wanted it to fill a certain height. I just set it to the dip I needed and all is good.

Here is my philosophy on what was going on. In debug mode, everything took a little longer to load so the webview had time to load the data. Since I had it set to "wrap_content" initially, the data wasn't loaded so there was virtually no content to wrap the size around.

thanks for your help!
