I know that many of you know this already but I am making a post
because I spent 5 hours trying to figure out why loadData was not
working. This does not pop up easily in searches of the mailing list.
TAGS: webview background white android loadData
WebView momentContent =
(WebView) view.findViewById
(R.id.subscription_list_moment_webcontent);
WebSettings wsettings =
momentContent.getSettings();
wsettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
//works great
//momentContent.loadUrl("http://www.momentarynow.com/app/public/
android/info_about.html");
//doesnt work exact same content WHY?
momentContent.loadData(
ResourceUtils.loadResToString(R.raw.content,
mContext),
mimeType,
encoding);

unless you use the most simple html possible, like no style sheets,
backgrounds, etc, loadData seems to blow up. The only workaround I
have found is to use loadDataWithBaseURL instead
final String mimeType = "text/html";
final String encoding = "UTF-8";
//render the html
WebView momentContent =
(WebView)
findViewById(R.id.subscription_list_moment_webcontent);
WebSettings wsettings =
momentContent.getSettings();
wsettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
momentContent.loadDataWithBaseURL("http://fake.com";,
ResourceUtils.loadResToString(
R.raw.content,
getApplicationContext()),
mimeType,
encoding,
"http://fake.com";);
oh now it magically works. but my forehead is a bit bruised from
hammering it against the brick wall.
I merely post to help others avoid my fate.
