    <p>I'm creating a news reader app that, at times, loads web pages into a <code>WebView</code>.</p> <p>I noticed that with default behavior, the cache can get very unreasonable very quickly. Whether or not Android will clear out that cache when memory gets low, I'm not okay with my users seeing a 15MB news app when everything except the web cache is about 1MB.</p> <p>However, I would love to use the cache to some extent. I saw WebSettings#setAppCacheMaxSize() and it seemed like it was just the ticket. </p> <p>It doesn't seem like it does anything. I hardcoded the following into a method that is called by my activity's onCreate(), before anything is loaded:</p> <p><code>originalSourceWebView.getSettings().setAppCacheMaxSize(300*1024);</code> (I was using a larger, configurable value but dropped it lower to confirm my problem).</p> <p>I blow right by 300KB without any fanfare, as shown by <code>settings-&gt;applications-&gt;manage applications-&gt;click on my app</code>. I'm listening in WebChromeClient#onReachedAppMaxCacheSize for events, but that never seems to trigger.</p> <p>Has anyone successfully used this? Is there some different cache I should be trying to manage? The docs seem pretty sparse. I went into the android source but it just sends values off to native code, and I don't know how to delve into that.</p> <p>My test environment is a nexus one on 2.2.2. I know that I'll need to make the cache calls by reflection in order to support 1.5 and 1.6, but if I can't make this work, there will be no need.</p>

    1. COI have tried so, cause I was curious. I tried tha method, passing 1024 and then 1, and it never seems to disptach the event, onReachedAppMaxCacheSize is never called. I'm using a Nexus 1 with 2.2.1. I can try on a HTC Desire and a Samsung Galaxy Tab with a feedback.

    2. COI have tested the same on a Samsung Galaxy Tab (originalSourceWebView.getSettings().setAppCacheMaxSize(1);) and disptachs nothing at all. Is this supposed to work?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
