[guardian-dev] How to use orbot proxy in a WebView?

[Vanitas Vitae]

Hi!

Is it possible to set the proxy of a WebView in Android 6? I tried it
using this code, but it does not work:

WebkitProxy.setProxy(app_class,
webView.getContext().getApplicationContext(), webView, "127.0.0.1", port);

In this example, app_class is the app's name string followed by the name
of the Application class (eg. "com.example.app.Application") and port is
the port orbot listens for.

When I run this code from within my MainActivity I get the following
logcat output and the webview cannot establish any connection:

com.example.app E/ProxyChangeListener: Using no proxy configuration due
to exception:java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual
method 'java.lang.Object android.os.Bundle.get(java.lang.String)' on a
null object reference

I checked the NetCipher code and it seems like there is no explicit
method for setting the code in Android versions > lollipop. Is this not
yet supported? I tried the same code on an emulator with Lollipop, but
it still does not work.
What am I missing?
