AndroidWeb - My Own Web Browser

This section provides a tutorial example on how to make my own Web browser, AndroidWeb, to work. The INTERNET permission needs to added to the Android project manifest file.

To figure out what's wrong with my AndroidView 1.0, I looked at the log entries with the "adb logcat" command. Nothing is related to this error.

I went back to the Android SDK document, and found this information: Because this application needs access to the Internet, you need to add the appropriate permissions to the Android manifest file. Open the AndroidManifest.xml file and add the following as a child of the <manifest> element: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Okay. I modified the \herong\AndroidWeb\AndroidManifest.xml file to include the INTERNET permission line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- AndroidWeb_AndroidManifest.xml
 - Version 2.0 - Adding INTERNET permission
 - Copyright (c) 2015, HerongYang.com, All Rights Reserved.
-->
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="com.herongyang.web"
   android:versionCode="1"
   android:versionName="1.0">
   <application android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher">
      <activity android:name="AndroidWeb"
         android:label="@string/app_name">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category
               android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>

Rebuild the debug package, reinstall it to the emulator and run it. Google search home page is displayed!
