The title was in all capital letters, this is annoying to a lot of users. As to the question, have you searched through the history? I'm pretty sure this has been answered before.Cheryl Simon– Cheryl Simon2010-11-09 17:24:19 +00:00Commented Nov 9, 2010 at 17:24

There is no address bar in a WebView.
If you think you have a WebView, and you see an address bar, that is not your WebView. Rather, you are looking at the Browser application. Most likely, the URL you told the WebView to load did a redirect, and you did not intercept that redirect using a WebViewClient and shouldOverrideURLLoading().

browser application? i did not call an intent to launch the browser application. i basically used a xml layout with just a single webview that fills the screen an i simple call LoaUrl to that webview. followed this example from the sdk developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html

@jonney: As I wrote, most likely, the URL you told the
WebView to load did a redirect, and you did not intercept that redirect using a WebViewClient and shouldOverrideURLLoading(). A redirect or click on a link will load the resulting URL in the user's choice of browser, unless you use WebViewClient to change that behavior.

the address given in the android.com site is "google.com" when you go to google.com it redirects to google.lk :D datz why I see address bar.. Now I get it.. thanks a lot.

Adding myView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); disabled the address bar for me.
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
...
WebView myView = findViewById(R.id.myExampleView);
myView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
myView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myView.loadUrl("https://www.stackoverflow.com");
XML Snippet
<WebView android:id="@+id/myExampleView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:keepScreenOn="true"
android:gravity="center" />

Finally I Try with this. Its worked for me..
Here is the working code
private WebView webview ;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_ebook);
//webview use to call own site
webview =(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView);
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
webview .getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview .getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
and your entire main.xml(res/layout) look should like this:
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
don't go to add layouts.
