Reload Android webview with javascript interface

Question

Im in proccess of creating an Android application based on webview. The application loads html file from android assets into the webview.

I want to create a button the reload the webview I tried to do that using javascript:

location.reload();

But im getting a toast like error message that says me that this file is not exits. I wanted to try to do it with java inside my javascript interface class but I cant find way to access the webview object that is in the MainActivity.

I'd appreciate your help people!.

Nothing is changed. I changed the location to file:///android_asset/index.html and I still getting this message. But its logical if think, it dont have permission to access file on android. So I need to do it with java. — human

From your description seems more a problem connected with the way you load HTML into the WebView. But I've found that if you call in JS location.reload() the WebView seems to ignore it.

I had the idea to call, from the Android Activity, webview.reload() and trigger this call from Javascript using @JavascriptInterface.

Then some other problems arised but just for reference and posterity you can check the answer with the workaround here: Unable to reload Android WebView from Javascript
