Android v2.2-2.3.5: WebView : loadDataWithBaseURL : will only load page once

Question

When I'm loading a page using .loadData or .loadDataWithBaseURL, the system will load a page once.

After that, subsequent calls do not work.

In 4.0.3, if I were to call the function a second time with new data, it does change.

How can I fix this for 2.2+? Do I destroy the webview and create a new one?

webView1.loadDataWithBaseURL("file://", page, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
webView1.loadUrl( "javascript:window.location.reload( true )" );

In loadDataWithBaseURL, set the last parameter to the URL where that data came from, instead of null.

The page didn't come from anywhere... I'm using HTML generated programmatically. – mcollard Apr 19 '12 at 21:06
If you put something there, like "file://" (doesn't really matter), it will add that element to the history stack (when you click the back button), and you'll get a callback to shouldOverrideUrlLoading in your WebViewClient. – theelfismike Apr 19 '12 at 22:30

I think it should be "file:///". You just missed one slash.
