WebViewTest.java

Code: Select all: public class WebViewTest extends Activity { WebView webview; public WebViewTest(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com/m"); } }

It looks like your webview code is correct, but your main.xml looks strange. I believe FrameLayout can only be a root level layout.

Try with just the webview in your main.xml first and see if that works.
