title: refreshing webview in android
body: <p>I have standard webview in my android code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      this.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
      setContentView(R.layout.main);
      WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
      webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i dont have any code in there about reloading/refeshing.
  but i have this code below in the page that the webview is bringing up.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;META http-equiv="REFRESH" content="30"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know very old school, but it does the job I need for now.</p>
  
  <p>But, webview isn't respecting that meta tag exactly, it has nothing to with webkit because i've tried lots of browsers with success. </p>
  
  <p>webview refeshes the app it seems when it wants to, not every 30 secs as instructed.</p>
  
  <p>how can I get webview to refresh every 30 secs or faster, with no issue?</p>
