How to display a protected Blog into a WebView (setHttpAuthUsernamePassword)

From setHttpAuthUsernamePassword, you need to pass in the host of the site: so if you are accessing (for example) http://www.google.com with username and password from your code and realm Protected, you would do

webview.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword("www.google.com", "Protected", getString(R.string.username), getString(R.string.password));

You can get the realm by looking at the published realm in your browser: for example, in Firefox if you open http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/example/ you will see that the following text in the caption: A username and password are being requested by http://tools.dynamicdrive.com. The site says: "Restricted Area. In this case the realm is Restricted Area.

BasicAuthentication in android for webview not working

webview.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient ());

private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public void onReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view,
            HttpAuthHandler handler, String host, String realm) {
        handler.proceed("me@test.com", "mypassword");
    }
}

This is most voted solution there I am not sure where to set the URL to open.Please suggest.

android webview with https connection and basic auth. How to get this working?

This simple example abuses a page on HttpWatch since it's more fun with a working public example.

The resource in question, https://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/authentication/authenticatedimage/default.aspx?randomgarbage uses basic auth over HTTPS and can be loaded without authentication failure like this (tested using Android 2.3.7):

    WebView v = ...; // Your webview goes here. 
    try {
        HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
        // This test service takes the username "httpwatch" and a random
        // password. Repeating a password can lead to failure, so we create
        // a decently random one using UUID.
        String usernameRandomPassword = "httpwatch:" + UUID.randomUUID().toString();
        String authorization = "Basic " + Base64.encodeToString(usernameRandomPassword.getBytes("UTF-8"), Base64.NO_WRAP);
        map.put("Authorization", authorization);
        v.loadUrl("https://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/authentication/authenticatedimage/default.aspx?" + System.currentTimeMillis(), map);
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {}

This works on ICS and Gingerbread. Don't have access to anything older than that, but loadUrl(String, Map<String,String>) was introduced in API level 8, so I don't see why it shouldn't work for that to.

Clarification for Nappy:

To support authentication for subsequent requests you supply a WebViewClient and do the following:

    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
            view.loadUrl(url, <your map containing the Authorization header>);
            return true;
        }
    });
