[jira] [Commented] (CB-250) [android] app crashes when DNS lookup
fails
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-250?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13208377#comment-13208377 ]
Maciej Jaros commented on CB-250:
---------------------------------
The issue also occurs when you don't have a WiFi (or other connection) active - not sure if Android throws the same error then (I'm guessing it might be ERROR_CONNECT or ERROR_TIMEOUT).
As for the behavior - I would expect nothing to be loaded or reload - maybe just an alert could be displayed. If reloading is easier (e.g. WebView already loads the new page when the error occurs), then that would be acceptable if you ask me.

> If the DNS lookup on a link to loadUrl fails, the app exits.
> Fil traced this to the onReceivedError method in CordovaWebViewClient - the ERROR_HOST_LOOKUP error code is being passed to that method, which is passed on to the context, and the app crashes.
> http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebViewClient.html#ERROR_HOST_LOOKUP
> Expected behavior in this case is probably for an error to be reported back to the web view, and the initial page to be loaded back once more.
