Android Load Cache Only is not working. Show WebView offline

Issue

I'm trying to show some webpages via webview without connecting to the internet. I'm getting a Null-Pointer Error if there is no connection to the internet. If there is a connection it is working. So I think it's something with

webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ONLY);
webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.de");

Please help me. I already checked if the AppCachePath is correct with getCacheDir(); Thanks a lot

        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
        webView.getSettings().setAppCacheMaxSize(1024*1024*8);
        webView.getSettings().setAppCachePath("/data/data/de.app/cache");
        webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
        webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);


        webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
              @Override
              public void onReachedMaxAppCacheSize(long spaceNeeded, long totalUsedQuota,
                           WebStorage.QuotaUpdater quotaUpdater)
              {
                    quotaUpdater.updateQuota(spaceNeeded * 2);
              }
        });





ConnectivityManager cm =
(ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        if(cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()== true)
        {
            webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);
            webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.de");
        }
        else{
            webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ONLY);
            webView.loadUrl("http://www.google.de");

        }

Solution

One of two things is happening. Either cm is null or cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() is returning null. I'm guessing it's cm.getActiveNetworkInfo(). If I'm right, then changing

if(cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()== true)

to

if(cm.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null && cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected() == true)

should fix your problem.
