Asset Font Is Not Loaded In Android Webview
I'm developing an android activity which is loading an HTML file into a webview. However this acitivty is not loading fonts in some phones e.g. HTC Desire or Sony Xperia Z with 4.
Solution 1:
- First of all, fonts path should be relative to your HTML/CSS file.
So, instead of this:
@font-face { font-family: 'Persian'; src: url('file:///android_asset/fonts/b_yekan.ttf'); }
Use something like this:
@font-face { font-family: 'Persian'; src: url('fonts/b_yekan.ttf'); }
- Second, you must make sure that the target you are testing against actually supports Arabic script.
With that, below I am providing a working example.
assets/about_us.html:
<!DOCTYPE htmlPUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><htmlxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><metacontent="text/html; charset=utf-8"http-equiv="Content-Type" /><styletype="text/css">@font-face { font-family: 'B Homa'; src: url('fonts/BHOMA.TTF');}
@font-face { font-family: 'B Lotus'; src: url('fonts/BLOTUS.TTF');}
@font-face { font-family: 'B Lotus Bold'; src: url('fonts/BLOTUSBD.TTF');}
</style></head><body><pstyle="font-family:'B Homa';font-size:20px;">B Homa: مخصص</p><pstyle="font-family:'B Lotus';font-size:20px;">B Lotus: مخصص</p><pstyle="font-family:'B Lotus Bold';font-size:20px;">B Lotus Bold: مخصص</p></body></html>BHOMA.TTF, BLOTUS.TTF and BLOTUSBD.TTF are downloaded from bornaray.com and stored in assets/fonts/ folder.
loadToWebView(), it is part of a Fragment, hence getActivity().getAssets():
privatevoidloadToWebView() {
AssetManager assetManager = getActivity().getAssets();
try {
InputStream input = assetManager.open("about_us.html");
byte[] buffer = newbyte[input.available()];
input.read(buffer);
input.close();
mWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/",
new String(buffer), "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And the result:
Hope this helps.
