Android WebView garbled characters when loading local pages

Android itself comes with a WebView control, which is used to display webpage content in the application during development. The web content or local content can be displayed, however, when a local page is displayed, the WebView does not know the encoding used to render the page content because it does not have an http header. The solution is to specify the display encoding for WebView, and set the encoding for WebView in Settings, for example:

 

1 mWebView = (WebView) findViewById (R. id. webview );
2 mWebView. getSettings (). setJavaScriptEnabled (true );
3 mWebView. getSettings (). setdefatextextencodingname ("UTF-8 ");
4 mWebView. loadUrl (path );

 

 

 

The page will be displayed in UTF-8 encoding

 

Note that if the local page is loaded, the path must be specified as the file Protocol, for example, "file: // data/com. mytest/1.web"
