I'm almost willing to go out on a limb and say that if I don't sleep
for more then a second after loadUrl() then the page doesn't show.
When I sleep for 1 second, sometimes the page will not show and
sometimes the page will draw 1/2 way and then stop. If I sleep for 3
or more seconds, the page will show ( relatively ) consistently. At
this point, all I do is this:
mainPage.loadUrl("http://commonsware.com";);
Thread.sleep(3000);
I should try some other web pages, but google.com and yahoo.com both
don't show up. It's also curious to me that if the page shows up 1/2
way or enough to reveal the <home> link at the top, I can click on the
home link and it will display the whole page.
This all seems a bit flakey to me. One thing I might add is that I'm
running through eclipse ( 3.3.2 ).
