WebView crashed on Xiaomu Redmi Note 4

Question

Working on an app with WebView:

in the layout file:

 <WebView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/webview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
    />

in the code:

mVideo = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); mVideo.loadUrl(mDeviceHost + ":8080/stream/webrtc");

But when I run on the device:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{tprlab.com.pitanq/com.tprlab.pitanq.DashboardActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #0: Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class android.webkit.WebView

Any ideas how to resolve that?

PS. Android version on the device: 7.0 NRD90M (sdk version 24) Build options: min sdk version - 24 target - 26. (is that key?)

not really, they talking about an intermittent problem during the packages update. In my case it is stable. — Topor, Jul 11 '18 at 11:17
To me error seems to be someplace else `Attempt to invoke virtual method boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object) on a null object reference ` please share your complete activity code .The webview error is not an error on your part [check this out](https://stackoverflow.com/a/31732953/6709711) — SynAck, Jul 11 '18 at 11:29

It is turned out the following config lines from the manifest caused that problem: — Topor, Aug 03 '18 at 11:57
