WebView.loadData not working on Android 9.0 (API-29)
I have an article app, I am showing articles in WebView. In Android version 9.0 (API-29) this WebView is not working. The app shows NOTHING in my article Activity.
mWebView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setMinimumFontSize(14);
String htmlContent = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>"
+ "<head>"
+ "<meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />"
+ "<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\"/>"
+ "<style type=\"text/css\">body{color: #525252;} img {max-width: 100%; height: auto}</style>"
+ "</head>"
+ item.getContent() //content of item
+ "";
mWebView.loadData(htmlContent, "text/html; charset=utf-8", "UTF-8");
As a result, how can I solve this problem?
Answer
I solved my problem, the problem occurs in Smartphones that has latest Chrome.
SOLUTION:
Do not use
mWebview.loadData
method, instead use
mWebview.loadDataWithBaseURL
As a result my solution is:
mWebview.loadDataWithBaseURL(null,htmlContent,"text/html", "utf-8", null);
