WebView turning white/blank

Leave a Comment

I am using WKWebView to display google maps in my app. This is the URL: http://ec2-54-198-148-171.compute-1.amazonaws.com/map_question.html

Following is the code to display the WKWebView in App:

import UIKit import WebKit import Foundation class MyMapController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate, WKScriptMessageHandler  { var webViewGeo: WKWebView?  var WidgetView:UIView = UIView()    override func loadView() {     super.loadView()        let contentController = WKUserContentController();            contentController.addScriptMessageHandler(         self,         name: "callbackHandler"     )       let config = WKWebViewConfiguration()     config.userContentController = contentController       self.webViewGeo = WKWebView(         frame: self.WidgetView.bounds,         configuration: config     )     self.WidgetView = self.webViewGeo!        }     override func viewDidLoad() {         super.viewDidLoad()               let frame = CGRect(x:0, y:-20, width:self.view.bounds.width, height:self.view.bounds.width)         WidgetView.frame=frame                let url = NSURL(string:"http://ec2-54-198-148-171.compute-1.amazonaws.com/map_question.html")         let req = NSURLRequest(URL:url!)         self.webViewGeo!.loadRequest(req)         self.view.addSubview(WidgetView)                  }  } 

The problem is when I try to interact with Map like zoom-in zoom out or scrolling then my map in app becomes white. Map works fine in web browser without resulting in white screen.

Is there a way to get to know the issue behind this? How to fix this problem?

The problem is not in the WKWebView, the link you are trying to load has 2k+ markers that overload the MapView even on Chrome Browser on a PC, and this is the source of your problem.

One of possible solutions is to add Marker Clustering to your html/javascript code. You can follow official google maps documentation to add it.

Official google maps marker clusterer library repository is here.
