reCAPTCHA Not Rendering in Android Webview
android, android-webview, recaptcha
Solution
Captcha requires javascript:
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
Problem
I have an Android app that is redirected users to a webpage that contains a reCAPTCHA question. Previously, I was implementing this simply by opening a browser window, and directing the user there. Recently, I changed it to use a webview instead for a better user experience, but the problem is that now for some reason the reCAPTCHA question is not rendered on the page; everything else functions normally. Why would this be, and how might I fix it? I assume this must have something to do with accessing a different domain from the webview (www.google.com), but not sure how to configure things differently that it's not an issue. Here is how I am setting up the Webview. Note that the overridden method is for handling some OAuth authorization process that can happen in this Webview. Even if I comment that out, I have the same problem. ``` WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); myWebView.loadUrl(this.url); myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() { @Override public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String url){ Uri uri = Uri.parse(url); if (url != null && uri.getScheme().equals(NNApplication.CALLBACK_SCHEME)) { SharedPreferences shPref = getSharedPreferences("NN_PREFS", Activity.MODE_PRIVATE); new OAuthAccessTokenTask(Authorization.this, consumer, provider, shPref).execute(uri); webView.setVisibility(View.GONE); finish(); return true; }else{ return false; } } @Override public void onReceivedSslError (WebView view, SslErrorHandler handler, SslError error) { handler.proceed() ; } }); ``` Likewise, you can view the reCAPTCHA question at the URL below. I already checked, and it's behaving the same between our development site and our live site: https://www-dev.usanpn.org/user/register
