Description

Hi, I've got a problem with webview on Androids when setting the userAgent. I'm using SDK 6.2.2GA When I set the userAgent it doesn't change. I've tried this in a Samsung S7 (android 7)and HTC M8 (android 6). However, it works on an iPhone. Here is some example code:

var webview = Titanium.UI.createWebView({url:'https://www.whoishostingthis.com/tools/user-agent/',userAgent:'IngelbyApp'});

$.index.add(webview);

$.index.open();

Environment :
