How to send a website to a second activity in kotlin?

Question

I am trying to create an application that allows sending any website as data, but when I write the address it does not load in the second activity.

Note: in the manifest I already put this code <uses-permission android: name = "android.permission.INTERNET" />

This is my code

MainActivity

 bt_ir.setOnClickListener {

            val sitio = pt_sitio.text.toString()
            val inten = Intent (this, MainActivity2_Webview::class.java)
            inten.putExtra("Clave", sitio)
            startActivity(inten)
        }

Second Activity

        val intent = intent
        val name = intent.getStringExtra("Clave")
        wv_sitio.loadUrl("http//:${name}")

        bt_atras.setOnClickListener {
            finish()
        }

You have a typo in your URL string after http, it should be :// instead of //:

As well as that, if you're using http instead of https, you might need to set usesCleartextTraffic in the manifest to true - this was the default before API 28, if you target 28+ it defaults to false and you have to explicitly enable it.

There's also a more complex system with a Network security configuration if you want more fine control over which sites are allowed through.

Depending on what's going on in your WebView, you might need use setMixedContentMode to ALWAYS_ALLOW or something - this is a security problem, so using https would be better, but that's up to you!
