Firebase in android webview

Issue

I'm making an app that's contained in a WebView. Andorid 5.0 and up. As a database, I want to use firebase. However, requests to firebase say could not contact database. Is this expected and is there a way to be able to use firebase in a webview?

Solved by adding <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> to the manifest.
