Using a WebView widget to authorize access

I am trying to access a server that requires authorization using the WebView widget in Android. I think it's the .htaccess type of authorization.

I works with the default browser provided with the OS, but when I try it with a WebView.. it gives a 401 immediately.

Any ideas on how I can have a WebView p开发者_StackOverflowresent the dialog to enter the user/pass (and remember it)?

Thanks.

Try using a WebViewClient, overriding its onReceivedHttpAuthRequest() method.
