| ↳ | [android.webkit.WebSettings](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#) |
Manages settings state for a WebView. When a WebView is first created, it obtains a set of default settings. These default settings will be returned from any getter call. A`WebSettings`object obtained from[WebView.getSettings()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebView#getSettings())is tied to the life of the WebView. If a WebView has been destroyed, any method call on`WebSettings`will throw an[IllegalStateException](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/lang/IllegalStateException.html#).

```
static val MIXED_CONTENT_COMPATIBILITY_MODE: Int
```
In this mode, the WebView will attempt to be compatible with the approach of a modern web browser with regard to mixed content. Some insecure content may be allowed to be loaded by a secure origin and other types of content will be blocked. The types of content are allowed or blocked may change release to release and are not explicitly defined. This mode is intended to be used by apps that are not in control of the content that they render but desire to operate in a reasonably secure environment. For highest security, apps are recommended to use[MIXED_CONTENT_NEVER_ALLOW](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#MIXED_CONTENT_NEVER_ALLOW:kotlin.Int).

Added in[API level 33](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
open fun setAlgorithmicDarkeningAllowed(allow: Boolean): Unit
```
Control whether algorithmic darkening is allowed.
**Note:** This API and the behaviour described only apply to apps with`targetSdkVersion`≥[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#TIRAMISU](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#TIRAMISU:kotlin.Int).
WebView always sets the media query`prefers-color-scheme`according to the app's theme attribute[isLightTheme](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/R.styleable.html#Theme_isLightTheme:kotlin.Int), i.e.`prefers-color-scheme`is`light`if isLightTheme is true or not specified, otherwise it is`dark`. This means that the web content's light or dark style will be applied automatically to match the app's theme if the content supports it.
Algorithmic darkening is disallowed by default.
If the app's theme is dark and it allows algorithmic darkening, WebView will attempt to darken web content using an algorithm, if the content doesn't define its own dark styles and doesn't explicitly disable darkening.
If Android is applying Force Dark to WebView then WebView will ignore the value of this setting and behave as if it were set to true.
The deprecated[setForceDark](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setForceDark(kotlin.Int))and related API are no-ops in apps with`targetSdkVersion`≥[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#TIRAMISU](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#TIRAMISU:kotlin.Int), but they still apply to apps with`targetSdkVersion`\<[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#TIRAMISU](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#TIRAMISU:kotlin.Int).
The below table summarizes how APIs work with different apps.
| App | Web content which uses`prefers-color-scheme` | Web content which does not use`prefers-color-scheme` |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| App with`isLightTheme`True or not set | Renders with the light theme defined by the content author. | Renders with the default styling defined by the content author. |

### setAllowContentAccess
Added in[API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun setAllowContentAccess(allow: Boolean): Unit
```
Enables or disables content URL access within WebView. Content URL access allows WebView to load content from a content provider installed in the system. The default is enabled.
### setAllowFileAccess
Added in[API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun setAllowFileAccess(allow: Boolean): Unit
```
Enables or disables file access within WebView. Note that this enables or disables file system access only. Assets and resources are still accessible using file:///android_asset and file:///android_res.
**Note:** Apps should not open`file://`URLs from any external source in WebView, don't enable this if your app accepts arbitrary URLs from external sources. It's recommended to always use[androidx.webkit.WebViewAssetLoader](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/webkit/WebViewAssetLoader)to access files including assets and resources over`http(s)://`schemes, instead of`file://`URLs. To prevent possible security issues targeting[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#Q](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#Q:kotlin.Int)and earlier, you should explicitly set this value to`false`.
The default value is`true`for apps targeting[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#Q](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#Q:kotlin.Int)and below, and`false`when targeting[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#R](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#R:kotlin.Int)and above.
### setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs
Added in[API level 16](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(flag: Boolean): Unit
```
**Deprecated:** *This setting is not secure, please use[androidx.webkit.WebViewAssetLoader](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/webkit/WebViewAssetLoader.html)to load file content securely.*
Sets whether cross-origin requests in the context of a file scheme URL should be allowed to access content from other file scheme URLs. Note that some accesses such as image HTML elements don't follow same-origin rules and aren't affected by this setting.
**Don't** enable this setting if you open files that may be created or altered by external sources. Enabling this setting allows malicious scripts loaded in a`file://`context to access arbitrary local files including WebView cookies and app private data.
Loading content via`file://`URLs is generally discouraged. See the note in[setAllowFileAccess](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setAllowFileAccess(kotlin.Boolean)).
Note that the value of this setting is ignored if the value of[getAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#getAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs())is`true`. The default value is`true`for apps targeting[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1:kotlin.Int)and below, and`false`when targeting[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#JELLY_BEAN](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#JELLY_BEAN:kotlin.Int)and above. To prevent possible violation of same domain policy when targeting[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1:kotlin.Int)and earlier, you should explicitly set this value to`false`.
| Parameters ||
|--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `flag` | [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html):whether JavaScript running in the context of a file scheme URL should be allowed to access content from other file scheme URLs |
### setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs
Added in[API level 16](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
Deprecated in[API level 30](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(flag: Boolean): Unit
```
**Deprecated:** *This setting is not secure, please use[androidx.webkit.WebViewAssetLoader](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/webkit/WebViewAssetLoader.html)to load file content securely.*
Sets whether cross-origin requests in the context of a file scheme URL should be allowed to access content from*any*origin. This includes access to content from other file scheme URLs or web contexts. Note that some access such as image HTML elements doesn't follow same-origin rules and isn't affected by this setting.
**Don't** enable this setting if you open files that may be created or altered by external sources. Enabling this setting allows malicious scripts loaded in a`file://`context to launch cross-site scripting attacks, either accessing arbitrary local files including WebView cookies, app private data or even credentials used on arbitrary web sites.
Loading content via`file://`URLs is generally discouraged. See the note in[setAllowFileAccess](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setAllowFileAccess(kotlin.Boolean)).
The default value is`true`for apps targeting[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH_MR1:kotlin.Int)and below, and`false`when targeting[android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#JELLY_BEAN](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html#JELLY_BEAN:kotlin.Int)and above.

| Parameters ||
|--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `flag` | [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html):whether JavaScript running in the context of a file scheme URL should be allowed to access content from any origin |
### setBlockNetworkImage
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun setBlockNetworkImage(flag: Boolean): Unit
```
Sets whether the WebView should not load image resources from the network (resources accessed via http and https URI schemes). Note that this method has no effect unless[getLoadsImagesAutomatically](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#getLoadsImagesAutomatically())returns`true`. Also note that disabling all network loads using[setBlockNetworkLoads](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setBlockNetworkLoads(kotlin.Boolean))will also prevent network images from loading, even if this flag is set to false. When the value of this setting is changed from`true`to`false`, network images resources referenced by content currently displayed by the WebView are fetched automatically. The default is`false`.
| Parameters ||
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `flag` | [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html):whether the WebView should not load image resources from the network |
**See Also**
- [#setBlockNetworkLoads](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setBlockNetworkLoads(kotlin.Boolean))
### setBlockNetworkLoads
Added in[API level 8](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun setBlockNetworkLoads(flag: Boolean): Unit
```
Sets whether the WebView should not load resources from the network. Use[setBlockNetworkImage](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setBlockNetworkImage(kotlin.Boolean))to only avoid loading image resources. Note that if the value of this setting is changed from`true`to`false`, network resources referenced by content currently displayed by the WebView are not fetched until[android.webkit.WebView#reload](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebView#reload())is called. If the application does not have the[android.Manifest.permission#INTERNET](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/Manifest.permission.html#INTERNET:kotlin.String)permission, attempts to set a value of`false`will cause a[java.lang.SecurityException](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/lang/SecurityException.html#)to be thrown. The default value is`false`if the application has the[android.Manifest.permission#INTERNET](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/Manifest.permission.html#INTERNET:kotlin.String)permission, otherwise it is`true`.
| Parameters ||
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `flag` | [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html):`true`means block network loads by the WebView |
**See Also**

### setBuiltInZoomControls
Added in[API level 3](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun setBuiltInZoomControls(enabled: Boolean): Unit
```
Sets whether the WebView should use its built-in zoom mechanisms. The built-in zoom mechanisms comprise on-screen zoom controls, which are displayed over the WebView's content, and the use of a pinch gesture to control zooming. Whether or not these on-screen controls are displayed can be set with[setDisplayZoomControls](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setDisplayZoomControls(kotlin.Boolean)). The default is`false`.
The built-in mechanisms are the only currently supported zoom mechanisms, so it is recommended that this setting is always enabled. However, on-screen zoom controls are deprecated in Android (see[android.widget.ZoomButtonsController](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/widget/ZoomButtonsController.html#)) so it's recommended to disable[setDisplayZoomControls](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setDisplayZoomControls(kotlin.Boolean)).
| Parameters ||
|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `enabled` | [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html):whether the WebView should use its built-in zoom mechanisms |
### setCacheMode
Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)
```
abstract fun setCacheMode(mode: Int): Unit
```
Overrides the way the cache is used. The way the cache is used is based on the navigation type. For a normal page load, the cache is checked and content is re-validated as needed. When navigating back, content is not revalidated, instead the content is just retrieved from the cache. This method allows the client to override this behavior by specifying one of[LOAD_DEFAULT](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#LOAD_DEFAULT:kotlin.Int),[LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK:kotlin.Int),[LOAD_NO_CACHE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#LOAD_NO_CACHE:kotlin.Int)or[LOAD_CACHE_ONLY](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#LOAD_CACHE_ONLY:kotlin.Int). The default value is[LOAD_DEFAULT](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#LOAD_DEFAULT:kotlin.Int).
| Parameters ||
|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

See also[setDatabasePath](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/webkit/WebSettings#setDatabasePath(kotlin.String))for how to correctly set up the database storage API. This setting is global in effect, across all WebView instances in a process. Note you should only modify this setting prior to making**any**WebView page load within a given process, as the WebView implementation may ignore changes to this setting after that point.
| Parameters ||
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `flag` | [Boolean](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-boolean/index.html):`true`if the WebView should use the database storage API |
