Monodroid WebView Authentication for SSRS Web Page

Question

I made two attempts to try to access an authenticated website, and I'm not sure what is wrong with my attempts. I have listed each of them. Has anyone tried this and got it to work?

This should not be difficult for Android Java programmers, and it doesn’t matter that I use monodroid EDIT (it matters because I have a Java implementation below that works fine) END EDIT.

I am trying to access the RDRS SSRS through WebView and I need to connect some common credentials.

ACTIVITY:

public static string username = "..."; public static string password = "..."; public static string website = "http://10.0.0.5/Reports"; private WebView webView; private void setupWebView(int attempt) { webView.Settings.JavaScriptEnabled = true; webView.Settings.BlockNetworkLoads = false; switch (attempt) { case 1: { webView.SetHttpAuthUsernamePassword(website, "", username, password); }break; case 2: { webView.SetWebViewClient(new AuthenticationClient(this)); }break; } webView.LoadUrl(website); } protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle) { base.OnCreate(bundle); webView = new WebView(this); setupWebView(1);//1 or 2 depending on what I am testing // Set our view from the "main" layout resource SetContentView(webView); } } 

AuthenticationClient:

  //DECLARED IN ANOTHER FILE [Android.Runtime.Register("android/webkit/WebViewClient", DoNotGenerateAcw = true)] public class AuthenticationClient:WebViewClient { private Context _context; public AuthenticationClient(Context context) { _context = context; } public override void OnReceivedError(WebView view, ClientError errorCode, string description, string failingUrl) { Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnReceivedError: " + errorCode, ToastLength.Long); //base.OnReceivedError(view, errorCode, description, failingUrl); } public override void OnPageStarted(WebView view, string url, Android.Graphics.Bitmap favicon) { Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnPageStarted: " + url, ToastLength.Long); //base.OnPageStarted(view, url, favicon); } public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, string url) { Toast.MakeText(_context, "ShouldOverrideUrlLoading: " + url, ToastLength.Long); view.LoadUrl(url); return true; } public override void OnReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, string host, string realm) { Toast.MakeText(_context, "OnReceivedHttpAuthRequest: " + host, ToastLength.Long); handler.Proceed(Activity1.username, Activity1.password); } } //END DECLARATION 

ATTEMPT 1: It doesn't even try to load the page. I keep getting the error message:
chrome (18710): external / chrome / net / http / http_auth_gssapi_posix.cc: 463: [0821/095922: ATTENTION: http_auth_gssapi_posix.cc (463)] Unable to find a compatible GSSAPI library

ATTEMPT 2: One message with a toast is not displayed.

I already looked:

OTHER STUFF
Now I have done it in Java and it works great. I still need a Mono solution for Android:

 public class Android_reporttestActivity extends Activity { public static String username = "..."; public static String password = "..."; public static String website = "http://10.0.0.5/Reports"; private WebView setupWebView() { WebView webView = new WebView(this); webView.setWebViewClient( new WebViewClient(){ public void onReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, String host, String realm) { handler.proceed(username,password); } } ); return webView; } @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); WebView webview = setupWebView(); // Set our view from the "main" layout resource setContentView(webview); webview.loadUrl(website); } 

Answer 1

Running the following for me allows everyone to work as expected for me:

 [Activity (Label = "WebViewExample", MainLauncher = true)] public class Activity1 : Activity { string url; WebView mWebView; protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle) { base.OnCreate (bundle); // Set our view from the "main" layout resource SetContentView (Resource.Layout.Main); url = "http://awebsite.com"; mWebView = (WebView)FindViewById<WebView> (Resource.Id.webview); mWebView.SetWebViewClient (new ViewClient (this)); mWebView.Settings.JavaScriptEnabled = (true); mWebView.Settings.PluginsEnabled = (true); mWebView.LoadUrl (url); } class ViewClient : WebViewClient { Activity1 _activity; public ViewClient(Activity1 activity) { _activity = activity; } public override void OnPageStarted (WebView view, string url, Android.Graphics.Bitmap favicon) { Console.WriteLine ("On Page Started"); } public override void OnReceivedHttpAuthRequest (WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, string host, string realm) { Console.WriteLine ("On received Http auth request"); handler.Proceed("username", "password"); } public override bool ShouldOverrideUrlLoading (WebView view, string url) { Console.WriteLine ("Should Override Url Loading..."); return base.ShouldOverrideUrlLoading (view, url); } } } 

The reason your toasts are not displayed is probably because you do not call ".Show ()" on them so that they never appear.

If you still cannot start and run it, then providing a URL that we can use to remove it will be really helpful.

I hope this helps,
