I am using the following code to render my webview in android -
webview.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, "Subject: "+ getSubject() +" Content: "+ getContent() , "text/html" , "UTF-8", "");
The subject and content that I receive from the server are UTF encoded and show wrongly as Ã¥,ä,ö in the log and on screen. However in iOS webview they show up correctly as å,ä,ö. How do I get them to show as å,ä,ö in android as well?
make sure the content you recieve, in tag <head> use like this: <meta charset="UTF-8" >
Sorry for my English. :)
I think it's more of a font problem than code itself. Try putting DejaVuSans.ttf font instead of DroidSansFallback.ttf on the android itself. It should fix it. I'd search forum.xda-developers.com for a solution.
It was due to how I was retrieving the message from the server. I was reading the Http response character by character so it broke up the encoding. When I started reading line by line it worked fine!
