Reload a web page in Webview from javascript

Question

I know this is a duplication question and i have been doing a lot of research about this but still not able to find the answer.

I am developing a web page and open this url using Android WebView. So, I am trying to create a button to reload the URL. using :

location.reload(true)

But its not working. Is there anyone has solution ? Thanks

// Update

I am not able to edit the app that has the webView. Just using javascript.

// Update

Hmmm Its weird. Its working now without changing anything in my code. I just don't understand why.

Does this answer your question? Is there a better way to refresh WebView? — jeprubio

@jeprubio I am not able to edit the webView. The WebView is coming from a 3rd party application. i am just using javascript and load it into the webview. If that make senses to you. — daniel8x

Try the following:

myWebViewID.loadUrl("REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_URL");
