Question

*I am working on an application which can read emails. I am using textview / edittext to display the mails. Right now I am able to fetch the email content as string and display it.
But Which is the best view to display emails with html content and images??
Please help me out.
Thank you 🙂
Edited:
I used webview as suggested by S.O. friends(thanks to @Andro Selva, @CFlex).
But I am facing a problem, Its displaying the email’s body twice! 🙁
Once as a text/plain and again as a Text/html.

I have tried following codes to load webview.

webViewBody.loadData(details[3], "text/html", "UTF-8");
//webViewBody.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, details[3] , "text/html", "utf-8", null);

here details[3] is the email content.
What am i missing here!? 🙁 Please help me out.

EDITED:
I have Added codes I have Used to get the message contents for displaying email content below.

    public void getContent(Message msg)
{
     try
     {
        Object o = msg.getContent();
            if (o instanceof String) 
        {
        if(((String) o).equalsIgnoreCase(""))
        {
        }
                    else
        {
           messageBody = (String)o+"STRING!!";
        }
       }
       else if (o instanceof Multipart) 
       {
        Multipart mp = (Multipart)o;
            int count3 = mp.getCount();
        for (int j = 0; j < count3-1; j++)
        {
            // Part are numbered starting at 0
            BodyPart b = mp.getBodyPart(j);
            Object o2 = b.getContent();
            if (o2 instanceof String) 
            {
                if(((String) o).equalsIgnoreCase(""))
                {
                }
                                    else
                {
                    messageBody = (String)o2+"MULTIPART!!"; 
                }
            }
        } //End of for
       }
       else if (o instanceof InputStream) 
       {
        //System.out.println("**This is an InputStream message**");
        InputStream is = (InputStream)o;
        // Assumes character content (not binary images)
                    //messageBody = convertStreamToString(is)+"INPUT STREAM!!";
            int c;
                    while ((c = is.read()) != -1) 
                    {
                    messageBody = convertToString(is)+"INPUT STREAM!!";
                System.out.println(messageBody);
                    }
       }
    }
        catch (Exception ex)
    {
    System.out.println("Exception arise at get Content");
    ex.printStackTrace();
    }

    //TODO TEST CODES
    try
    {
        String contentType = msg.getContentType();
        //          System.out.println("Content Type : " + contentType);
        Multipart mp = (Multipart) msg.getContent();
        int count = mp.getCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
        {
            dumpPart(mp.getBodyPart(i));
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        System.out.println("Exception arise at get Content");
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public String convertToString(InputStream inputStream)
{
    StringBuffer string = new StringBuffer();
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
    String line;
    try 
    {
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) 
        {
            string.append(line + "\n");
        }
    }
    catch (IOException e) 
    {
    }
    return string.toString();
}   

The control is always going to “else if (o instanceof InputStream)” condition. so its streaming email always and displaying complete email content. What am I missing here?

adding these lines solved the problem!

    MailcapCommandMap mc = (MailcapCommandMap) CommandMap.getDefaultCommandMap();
    mc.addMailcap("text/html;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_html");
    mc.addMailcap("text/xml;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_xml");
    mc.addMailcap("text/plain;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_plain");
    mc.addMailcap("multipart/*;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.multipart_mixed");
    mc.addMailcap("message/rfc822;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.message_rfc822");
    CommandMap.setDefaultCommandMap(mc);

Thanks to everyone who helped me to solve this. 🙂
