simple webview example caught security exception

Question

I have a code for a simple webview and while running the code works but shows an error 'caught security exception' in logcat. what does it mean?

WebActivity.java

public class WebActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_web);
        WebView mainWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.mainWebView);
        WebSettings webSettings = mainWebView.getSettings();
        webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        mainWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyCustomWebViewClient());
        mainWebView.loadUrl("http://google.com");
        mainWebView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
    }
    private class MyCustomWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
            }
        }
    }

logcat

08-22 11:37:01.569: E/geolocationService(537): Caught security exception registering for location updates from system. This should only happen in DumpRenderTree.

have you also check network state for this?

You need to add this in your manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

This link has the key http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.5.0/cordova_device_device.md.html

I am developing with Android - Phonegap

I added

--> app/res/xml/config.xml

< plugin name="Device" value="org.apache.cordova.Device" />

--> app/AndroidManifest.xml

< uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

and works fine

PS: maybe it's the same answer of this one Using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition in WebView on Android 2.0+ (PhoneGap related)
