I have made two attempts in trying to access a website with authentication, and I am not sure what is wrong with my attempts. I will list each one. Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work?
This should not be difficult for Java Android programmers to understand, nor should it matter that I am using monodroid EDIT (It DOES matter, because I have a Java implementation below that works just fine)END EDIT.
I am trying to gain access to an SSRS RDL through the WebView and I need to plug in some generic credentials.
ACTIVITY:
public static string username = "...";
public static string password = "...";
public static string website = "http://10.0.0.5/Reports";
private WebView webView;
private void setupWebView(int attempt)
{
webView.Settings.JavaScriptEnabled = true;
webView.Settings.BlockNetworkLoads = false;
switch (attempt)
{
case 1:
{
webView.SetHttpAuthUsernamePassword(website, "", username, password);
}break;
case 2:
{
webView.SetWebViewClient(new AuthenticationClient(this));
}break;
}
webView.LoadUrl(website);
}
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
webView = new WebView(this);
setupWebView(1);//1 or 2 depending on what I am testing
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
SetContentView(webView);
}
}
AuthenticationClient:
//DECLARED IN ANOTHER FILE
[Android.Runtime.Register("android/webkit/WebViewClient", DoNotGenerateAcw = true)]
public class AuthenticationClient:WebViewClient
{
private Context _context;
public AuthenticationClient(Context context)
{
_context = context;
}
public override void OnReceivedError(WebView view, ClientError errorCode, string description, string failingUrl)
{
Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnReceivedError: " + errorCode, ToastLength.Long);
//base.OnReceivedError(view, errorCode, description, failingUrl);
}
public override void OnPageStarted(WebView view, string url, Android.Graphics.Bitmap favicon)
{
Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnPageStarted: " + url, ToastLength.Long);
//base.OnPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
}
public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, string url)
{
Toast.MakeText(_context, "ShouldOverrideUrlLoading: " + url, ToastLength.Long);
view.LoadUrl(url);
return true;
}
public override void OnReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, string host, string realm)
{
Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnReceivedHttpAuthRequest: " + host, ToastLength.Long);
handler.Proceed(Activity1.username, Activity1.password);
}
}
//END DECLARATION
ATTEMPT 1: It does not even try to load the page. I keep getting an error:
chromium(18710): external/chromium/net/http/http_auth_gssapi_posix.cc:463: [0821/095922:WARNING:http_auth_gssapi_posix.cc(463)] Unable to find a compatible GSSAPI library
ATTEMPT 2: Does not show a single toast message.
I have already looked at:

Using WebView setHttpAuthUsernamePassword?
WebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword() not working?
Passing username and password to SSRS 2005 reports from web application
OTHER STUFF
I have now done it in Java and it works fine. I still need a Mono for Android solution:
public class Android_reporttestActivity extends Activity {
public static String username = "...";
public static String password = "...";
public static String website = "http://10.0.0.5/Reports";
private WebView setupWebView()
{
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
webView.setWebViewClient(
new WebViewClient(){
public void onReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, String host, String realm)
{
handler.proceed(username,password);
}
}
);
return webView;
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webview = setupWebView();
// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
setContentView(webview);
webview.loadUrl(website);
}
