                        set of default settings. These default settings will be returned from any getter
                        call. A WebSettings object obtained from WebView.getSettings() is tied to the life
                        of the WebView. If a WebView has been destroyed, any method call on WebSettings will
                        throw an IllegalStateException.

                        (resources accessed via http and https URI schemes). Note that this method
                        has no effect unless getLoadsImagesAutomatically() returns true. Also note
                        that disabling all network loads using setBlockNetworkLoads(boolean) will
                        also prevent network images from loading, even if this flag is set to false.
                        When the value of this setting is changed from true to false, network images
                        resources referenced by content currently displayed by the WebView are
                        fetched automatically. The default is false.

                    Parameters
                        flag : whether the WebView should not load image resources from the network

                    public abstract void setLoadsImagesAutomatically (boolean flag)
                        Sets whether the WebView should load image resources. Note that this method
                        controls loading of all images, including those embedded using the data URI
                        scheme. Use setBlockNetworkImage(boolean) to control loading only of images
                        specified using network URI schemes. Note that if the value of this setting
                        is changed from false to true, all images resources referenced by content
                        currently displayed by the WebView are loaded automatically.
