Problem with WebView on ICS tablets

[nolanlawson]

I've got some trouble with your App. I'm using it on a tablet and have the following problem:

Ich I search a song and i click a link on the google result page, the next page is completely empty.

ICS Android 4.

On my Mlestone with CyanogenMod 7 everythings works fine.

Another comment:

I'm on an motorola xoom running Android Version 4.0.3. To reproduce,

1. Open chord reader
2. type a song name. (Any name. I picked Black Hole Sun.) and search
3. select a result. I picked the one on tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/soundgarden/black_hole_sun_crd.htm
4. At this point, I just get a blank screen.

Yeah, this bug is due to changes they introduced in ICS to the WebView. I've battled with it, but still have no idea how to fix it.

Seems I'm not the first person to have this problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8555749/getting-an-error-in-webview-on-ice-cream-sandwich
