I want to parse following code to html code and show in a WebView

  • 0

I want to parse following code to html code and show in a WebView. This works fine, but…

Code to parse:

<img src="http://...jpeg" alt="„Indoor Maps“ von Google" align="left" style="padding-right:5px">\n\n\nEinfachere Navigation in Gebäuden verspricht Indoor Maps von Google. Der Praxis-Test von COMPUTER BILD im Hamburger „Alsterhaus“ verlief aber kurios.<br>Foto: ComputerBILD<br>

attempt 1) Html.toHtml(Code) – The umlauts and quotes of the texts where parsed fine and the img-tag is still valid (quotes). But some img-attributes were removed, like alt and align. Result:

<p><img src="http://...jpeg"> Einfachere Navigation in Geb&#228;uden verspricht Indoor Maps von Google. Der Praxis-Test von COMPUTER BILD im Hamburger &#8222;Alsterhaus&#8220; verlief aber kurios.<br>\nFoto: ComputerBILD<br>\n</p>\n

attempt 2) external library: org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4(Code) – All umlauts and quotes where parsed. The img-tag is corrupted by parsing the quotes. Now i can’t show the image on a WebView. The img-tags where not removed. Result:

&lt;img src=&quot;http://...jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&bdquo;Indoor Maps&ldquo; von Google&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;padding-right:5px&quot;&gt;\n\n\nEinfachere Navigation in Geb&auml;uden verspricht Indoor Maps von Google. Der Praxis-Test von COMPUTER BILD im Hamburger &bdquo;Alsterhaus&ldquo; verlief aber kurios.&lt;br&gt;Foto: ComputerBILD&lt;br&gt;

I know there are a lot of posts of this category, but I can’t find help to parse the html code and don’t "touch" the quotes of attributes. I am stucking.

EDIT

This is the full Html code

    StringBuilder html = new StringBuilder();
    html.append("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\">");
    html.append("<html>");
    html.append("<head>");
    html.append("<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\">");
    html.append("<title></title>");
    html.append("</head>");
    html.append("<body bgcolor=\"white\" leftmargin=\"0\" topmargin=\"0\">");       
    html.append(CODE AT THE TOP);
    html.append("</body>");
    html.append("</html>");

When I use UTF-8 I got the same result…

webView.loadData(html.toString(), "text/html", "iso-8859-1");

@Christiaan: This is the current result, when i set the unparsed code to WebView

    I’ve found this post, now it works 🙂 Android. WebView and loadData

    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.
