How to open desktop site in webview in android

I need to open desktop site in android webview for that i have tried as below but it is not working.

String newUA= "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0";
mWebView.getSettings().setUserAgentString(newUA);
Solution

  • This is the perfect solution:

     private static final String DESKTOP_USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2049.0 Safari/537.36";
 private static final String MOBILE_USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.4; en-us; Nexus 4 Build/JOP24G) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30";

 //Choose Mobile/Desktop client.
 WebSettings settings = mWebView.getSettings();
 settings.setUserAgentString(DESKTOP_USER_AGENT);

    UPDATE

    The above MOBILE_USER_AGENT is no longer supported. so use the given below user agent

    private static final String MOBILE_USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9; Redmi 6 Pro Build/PKQ1.180917.001; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/89.0.4389.105 Mobile Safari/537.36";
