Android webview within application not loading
<p>The intent of this is to have a webpage firing <em>within</em> the app itself. The app runs without glitches, but the webpage is never seen. The .xml contains the webpage and a list beneath it.</p>

<p>The .xml file reads as</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_centerVertical="true"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt;

     &lt;WebView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/webview"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        /&gt;

    &lt;ListView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="500dp"
        android:id="@android:id/list"/&gt;
&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The activity in the .java reads as</p>

<pre><code>@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    WebView myWebView = new WebView(this);
    myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
    myWebView.loadUrl("https://google.com");

    // Other AWS gibberish
}
</code></pre>

<p>I can get the webpage to fire as an separate application, but this is not what I want. </p>

<pre><code>    WebView webview = new WebView(this);
    setContentView(webview);
    webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webview.loadUrl("http://google.ca");
</code></pre>

<p>Edit: I have already added the internet permission to the manifest</p>

<pre><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Some references I have been using <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13542982/android-webview-stay-in-app">here</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2378800/clicking-urls-opens-default-browser">here</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7746409/android-webview-launches-browser-when-calling-loadurl">here</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a> without success</p>

<p>Edit 2: Going through the device debug files and the following are being logged</p>
