I'm developing an android activity which is loading an HTML file into a webview.
However this acitivty is not loading fonts in some phones e.g. HTC Desire or Sony Xperia Z with 4.4 or 4.1 androids.
I want to know if i have missed something or it is only depends on phone which i'm testing my app.
private void loadToWebView(String s) {
try {
pageWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", s,
"text/html", "utf-8", null);
configureWebView(pageWebView);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
here is html header:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<style type="text/css">
@font-face { font-family: 'Persian'; src: url('file:///android_asset/fonts/b_yekan.ttf'); }
@font-face { font-family: 'Persian2'; src: url('file:///android_asset/fonts/b_homa.ttf'); }
@font-face { font-family: 'PersianTitle'; src: url('file:///android_asset/fonts/b_titr.ttf');}
body {font-family: 'Persian';}
h1 {font-family: 'PersianTitle';}
h2 {font-family: 'Persian2';}
</style>
fonts are located in assets/fonts/ like this 
510
So, instead of this:
@font-face { font-family: 'Persian'; src: url('file:///android_asset/fonts/b_yekan.ttf'); }
Use something like this:
@font-face { font-family: 'Persian'; src: url('fonts/b_yekan.ttf'); }
With that, below I am providing a working example.
assets/about_us.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<style type="text/css">
@font-face { font-family: 'B Homa'; src: url('fonts/BHOMA.TTF');}
@font-face { font-family: 'B Lotus'; src: url('fonts/BLOTUS.TTF');}
@font-face { font-family: 'B Lotus Bold'; src: url('fonts/BLOTUSBD.TTF');}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p style="font-family:'B Homa';font-size:20px;">B Homa: مخصص</p>
<p style="font-family:'B Lotus';font-size:20px;">B Lotus: مخصص</p>
<p style="font-family:'B Lotus Bold';font-size:20px;">B Lotus Bold: مخصص</p>
</body>
</html>
BHOMA.TTF, BLOTUS.TTF and BLOTUSBD.TTF are downloaded from bornaray.com and stored in assets/fonts/ folder.
loadToWebView(), it is part of a Fragment, hence getActivity().getAssets():
private void loadToWebView() {
AssetManager assetManager = getActivity().getAssets();
try {
InputStream input = assetManager.open("about_us.html");
byte[] buffer = new byte[input.available()];
input.read(buffer);
input.close();
mWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/",
new String(buffer), "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And the result:
Hope this helps.
