Websettings.SetAppCacheEnabled deprecated, what to use instead?

Question

During an attempt to bring an older android application into the modern world, I have come across the deprecated statement of:

websettings.setAppCacheEnabled(false)

What is the modern Androidx alternate?

Use this

webView.settings.cacheMode=WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE

@Caption You can always opt-in for cache data using WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ONLY or .LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK. – Sashenka

Answer 2

Alternatively, this helped me out:

webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);

@Caption this line of code is not depreciated, that's why we have the new line of code that gives the same result. – Babita

@Caption use webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_DEFAULT); or webView.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK); LOAD_DEFAULT does not use expired cache but LOAD_CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK does – Claman
