I created a native Android app that basically hosts a webView control. That webView is then used to load a page that calls window.openDatabase from JavaScript. I can successfully confirm that the API exists by verifying window.openDatabase.

Calling this method returns a null when called in a hosted webView control. Calling the same method in the Android Browser returns an instance of the database.

Does anyone know the permessions in the manifest or settings on the webView control that need to be set to access the database? Is this even possible in a native app.
