Debug Web View

It used to be really easy to attach a chrome debugger to a web view to catch the initial loading, but now I cannot work out how to do it anymore. So ive resorted to the approach I use for the iOS SDK, which is to load a blank page into the view, and then prompt before loading the ad, so that the chrome debugger can be attached.

The Android SDK 1.4.3+ comes with a loadBlankPage() method which you can use in concert with code somewhat like the following, where loadAd() is the method which will actually call the adnuntius web view loadAd(...) method:

adView.loadBlankPage();

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle(R.string.app_name);
builder.setMessage("Click Ok to load the Ad");
builder.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
        loadAd();
    }
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
