Custom alert box not loading in android WebView

In my application , I have a WebView to load a web app.The login is done using a alert box which takes username and password. when i try to load the URL in android browser the alert box appears like this. But when I try to load the same URL in my WebView it does not show any alert box .

After adding the following code

mwebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){

            @Override
            public boolean onJsAlert(WebView view, String url, String message, android.webkit.JsResult result) {
                Log.d("JSALERT", message);
                new AlertDialog.Builder(view.getContext()).setMessage(message).setCancelable(true).show();
                result.confirm();
                return true;
            }
        });

WebView shows simple alert box messages , but it does not show that custom alert box(the method is not getting fired).

In my app WebView , I wanted to show the login alert (which includes login fields and Buttons) .if any one knows the solution pls share with me

Thanks in advance

Well, what you see in Browser isn't actually an "alert box" -- it's an HTTP authentication dialog. In order to handle it, you need to override WebViewClient.onReceivedHttpAuthRequest, see docs.

You can check the relevant code in Android Browser here and here.
