I broke into the Google servers and hacked the WebKit code to only show
the CommonsWare site.
Note to Google: that's a joke. Honest.

That code works?
The reason I ask is that the Android docs mention that if your activity
doesn't return from callbacks like onCreate() quickly, Android will
consider the activity stuck or dead and will get rid of it. I hadn't
experimented with that feature in the emulator, but I had figured it was
already in there. I would think that minute-long sleep periods in
onCreate() ought to trigger the scavenger, but apparently not.
I seem to recall that accessing the Google Web site was hit or miss, but I
wrote that off as being something peculiar to them perhaps doing
browser-sniffing and causing Android's WebKit some problems. I can say
that http://commonsware.com uses nothing more complicated than CSS -- no
Javascript, no server-side smarts (until you get to the Warescription
ecommerce piece), etc.
Have you tried visiting these other sites in the built-in Browser
application? If they work there, but not in your activity, that might
trigger some ideas. But, beyond that, off the top of my head, I don't know
what might be going wrong.
