I have an Android app with a WebView where I show content that includes embedded twits and embedded instagram photos.
In both cases I copy the blockquote as indicated in the documentation, and I show it this way:
String html = "<!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head><style>a {color:#333333;}</style></head><body>"+content.substring(0, blockquoteEnd)+"<script async src=\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script></body></html>";
WebView tText = new WebView(getActivity());
tText.loadDataWithBaseURL("", html, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
WebSettings webSettings = tText.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
textWrapper.addView(tText);
My Tweets where shown only in plain text but I fixed this with this line:
tText.loadDataWithBaseURL("https://twitter.com", html, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
I've tried to do the same with Instagram photos doing this:
tText.loadDataWithBaseURL("https://instagram.com", html, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
but it's not working, all instagram photos only show the description in plain text.
I can not find any documentation (official or not) on how to embed Instagram in Android WebViews. Anyone has any idea of how to fix this?

After trying a lot of combinations and referencing the other answers here, this worked for me:
WebView webView = findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("https://instagram.com", myHtmlString, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
Did you try using this link? https://instagram.com/developer/embedding/
I'm not sure what your "html" param is when you're trying to embed Instagram, but assuming you have the link for the item you want to embed, you can send a request to http://api.instagram.com/oembed with the item's URL and get the relevant information (see the bottom part in the link, "Embedding for developers"); once you get a response, you should be able to retrieve the "html" part from the JSON object and pass that to loadDataWithBaseURL as the second parameter.
Also, I was trying to embed Instagram and Facebook videos on my Android app and was unable to, as I was calling loadDataWithBaseURL with null as the first param, instead of the Instagram/FB URL. Earlier today I saw your questions and noticed that your first param was different than mine, so I changed it, and then everything was OK. So thanks for that :-)
