Menu
I'm loading some data, containing latin-1 characters, in a WebView using
String uri = Uri.encode(html); webview.loadData(uri, "text/html", "ISO-8859-1"); When displayed, the latin1 characters are replaced by weird characters.
If I load the html directly in a TextView (just to test), latin characters are properly displayed.
Anybody can help?
Thanks
html:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <!-- some html --> </html>

You might often face issues in updating the chrome and Android System Webview. To fix this problem, you can reboot your device, check your internet connection, stop auto-updating all apps, clear Google Playstore cache, and storage, leave the beta testing program, and manually update Android WebView app from Playstore.
Android App Development for BeginnersStep 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml. In the above code, we have taken web view to show html content.
myWebView.loadData(myHtmlString, "text/html; charset=UTF-8", null); This works flawlessly, especially on Android 4.0, which apparently ignores character encoding inside HTML.
Tested on 2.3 and 4.0.3.
In fact, I have no idea about what other values besides "base64" does the last parameter take. Some Google examples put null in there.
You should always use UTF-8 encoding. Every other character encoding has become obsolete for many years already.

Only way to have it working, as commented here:
webview.loadDataWithBaseURL("fake://not/needed", html, "text/html", "utf-8", ""); No URI encoding, utf-8... loadData bug?
