I have a WebView in which I wish to render some content. But this WebView does not show a single character if the length of data I am showing reaches close to 5100 characters.
The WebView works perfectly fine if the length of data is less than 5000 characters.
I have tried to just pass simple data in the WebView similar to "abcde ....." with < 5000 chars it would work fine. with > 5100 chars it won't display a single character.
I have searched through the Internet to see if there are any limits for the amount of data that can be shown inside the WebView, but I don't seem to find anything.
Here is my Java Code.
myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.passage);
String data = "abcde ......."; // large number of characters > 5100.
myWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL(URL, data, "text/html", null,null);
I have tried myWebView.loadData(data, "text/html", null);
as well instead of using the loadDataWithBaseURL
function, but that has not helped.
Here is the XML that I am using.
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:fadeScrollbars="false"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
android:scrollbarFadeDuration="0" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/passage"
android:textColor="@color/red"
android:textSize="18px" />
<WebView
android:id="@+id/passage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fadeScrollbars="false"
android:layerType="software"
android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
android:scrollbarFadeDuration="0" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Please help.
EDIT : To be more precise, if I render 5096 characters, it renders properly. If 5097 or more characters are attempted to be rendered, then nothing gets displayed. If I try to log the data
variable in a file. All data gets logged, so its not a issue relating to proper data not being saved into string.
