Webview doesn't display text with color

Question

In my app I display some Html content in webview:

String webViewConent = 'this is some <span style="color:#2ecc71">sample</span> string'
webView.loadData(omowienie, "text/html; charset=utf-8", "UTF-8");

However after last app update, which was related with some other thing, for some users webview doesn't work correctly. They see only string which is before span tag. The problem is not related to any specific android version.

Answer 1

Same problem here, I found base64 encoding as a quick fix:

String base64 = android.util.Base64.encodeToString(html.getBytes("UTF-8"), android.util.Base64.DEFAULT); mWebView.loadData(base64, "text/html; charset=utf-8", "base64"); 

Answer 2

I had the same issue today. As a simple workaround I replaced hex colors in CSS by RGB equivalents.

Before

<span style="color: #3050c0">Some text</span>

After

<span style="color: rgb(48, 80, 192)">Some text</span>
