I am developing an android application and I need to display HTML page.

I managed to do this using the web view as below 

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <WebView 
    android:id="@+id/webView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    </WebView>

    <Button
            android:id="@+id/disease_consultation_button"
            android:layout_width="@dimen/buttonWidth"
            android:layout_height="@dimen/buttonHeight"
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
            style="@style/buttonStyle"
            android:text="@string/continue_button" />

    </LinearLayout>

and from java code

WebView webView;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.disease_web_view_activity);

       webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
       webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

       String customHtml = "<html><body><h1>Hello, WebView</h1></body></html>";
       webView.loadData(customHtml, "text/html", "UTF-8");

    }

the button doesn’t appear in the view and I don’t know why ?

can anyone help me please ?

    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >    

     <TextView android:id="@+id/disease_consultation_titleTextView"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            style="@style/activityTitle" />

    <Button

    One thing you can do is to place first button (or another layout to contain more than one items) and then add you WebView e.g.

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Button" />

<WebView
    android:id="@+id/webView1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

    Hope this helps…
