Android Webview URL Authentication

I am working on a project to authenticate to a website via a WebView in an android app. I have researched the issue quite a bit, the consensus is to use the onReceivedHttpAuthReque

Solution 1:

There are different types of authentication. onReceivedHttpAuthRequest() is called when an HTTP authentication request comes in (Basic/Digest authentication). The example that you gave for when you go to https://github.com/login this is not a page that uses this type of authentication.

When the browser sees this type of authentication request it typically displays a login dialog box prompting the user for a username and password.
