Get already loaded images from wevbiew

Issue

I want to get images from the web page and save them into the local storage. I can find all image URLs from the HTML, load that images from the server and save them. But I don't want to access to the server second time for the same information which is already in webview. So I want to know how I can load images from the webview?

Solution

You can set a WebView cache in a few steps. Take a look below.

WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.your_webView_Id);

String cacheDir = getDir("your_WV_cache_dir", Context.MODE_PRIVATE).getAbsolutePath(); webView.getSettings().setAppCacheMaxSize(1024 * 1024 * 1); // 1 Mb cache limited size > webView.getSettings().setAppCachePath(cacheDir); webView.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true); webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK); // This constant is important to you. This way you can load daa from cache, if it was already downloaded once.

You might take a look to th other possible values to the constant above at the WebView.WebSettings official documentation.

Let me know if it works.
