title: Is there a way to pre-cache a web page for viewing with an Android WebView?
body: <p>I've read about the HTML5 cache manifest, and I've seen Android does support caching websites using the cache manifest. I want to use the cache manifest to download all the required resources for my website to preload it, and then open a WebView and display the remote website using the pre-cached resources. I want to pre-cache my remote page somehow, preferably without using a WebView for the caching process.</p>
  
  <p>The problem with using a WebView for the pre-caching process is that loading the webpage using a WebView renders and executes the page instead of just downloading it.</p>
  
  <p>I've read this: <a href="http://alex.tapmania.org/2010/11/html5-cache-android-webview.html" rel="noreferrer">http://alex.tapmania.org/2010/11/html5-cache-android-webview.html</a>, but having a WebView support caching is not what I want. I want the loading process to be instantaneous (assuming the cache manifest / etags of the remote website are the same as the cached version) right after I finish pre-caching the resources, instead of waiting for the WebView to load up and cache everything on the first access.</p>
  
  <p>What is the correct way of pre-caching web pages for viewing later?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
