The code from your example does work fine for anything without table. I thought it could be forced, but I've hit a wall here.
Perhaps this can work around it: Display HTML Table in webview
Or perhaps you can force something like this through in your activity (adjust to suit your purpose):
WebView webview = new WebView(this); setContentView(webview); String yourHtml = "<html><body><table>...</table></body></html>"; webview.loadData(yourHtml , "text/html", "utf-8");
