Displaying html file in webview on android lollipop device giving unformatted text

I want to display a html file from a URL into a webview
If i run the app on a device running pre-lollipop (4.2)the html file is displayed as desired like below
But if i run the app on a device running lollipop (5.1)its showing unformatted text in webview like below
Why does this happen ?
mainactivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
String webViewurl = "http://files.parsetfss.com/f1c96efa-83e3-4dc3-8e0e-7c5b6dbbd7a2/tfss-7862469c-fb9d-4e9e-b914-779fd8415e13-main.html";
WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.mainWebView);
wv.loadUrl(webViewurl);
}
}

Load files from Assets folder in webview

I have a webview in my android app, the html file which gets loaded is on a server, however I need to address some files from app's assets folder. I wanted to ask how can I address those files.
Thanks

public class ViewWeb extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
WebView wv;
wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/aboutcertified.html"); // now it will not fail here
}
}
And in general you can use
getAssets().open("filename.txt"))
To get filea from assets
On a side note:please put some code next time that you have triedget

Android prob to show pdf in webview

I am using android Webview to load a url to show a pdf file.
Here is my code:
public class TestProgectActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView mtWebView=new WebView(this);
setContentView(mtWebView);
mtWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mtWebView.loadUrl("https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.cbwe.gov.in/HTMLEditor1/pdf/sample.pdf");
}
}
It is working for the link "https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.cbwe.gov.in/HTMLEditor1/pdf/sample.pdf".
But it is not working for "https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.pancreaze.net/pdf/PANCREAZE.pdf". When I am firing this url through Webview it is showing HTML content in the WebView instead of the actual pdf file. Here is the screenshot.
What is problem in my code?

For your most basic PhoneGap app you should extend your main activity from DroidGap.
import com.phonegap.DroidGap;
public class Main extends DroidGap {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
//private Button m_button;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}
}

I would suggest checking out this link for a series of tutorials using Phonegap within the Eclipse development environment. Once you are setup on eclipse, you only need to overide a few lines of code in the Android Activity class to call your web pages. Phonegap takes care of the rest in terms of opening up a webview class and rendering your html within it. You will no longer to code that yourself (as you've done above). The tutorials spell it out quite clearly. You can also add your own custom JavaScript interface methods as well. Again that's described in the tutorials. Hope this helps.

In your case there is a need to Embedding Cordova WebView on Android here is link for it
Modify your main Activity as
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements CordovaInterface {
CordovaWebView cwv;
/* Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
cwv = (CordovaWebView) findViewById(R.id.tutorialView);
cwv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}
And in your layout replace your webview with
<org.apache.cordova.CordovaWebView
android:id="#+id/tutorialView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Android URL redirect in webview [duplicate]

android webview click opens default browser
I have an application that opens a website in webview on start, however I can't seem to figure out how to keep any URL's that a user clicked on from opening in the browser.
Is there anyway to load the clicked URL inside the webview app?
EDIT - Using the below solution I still get an error on the private class "Illegal modifier for the local class MainScreenActivity; only abstract or final is permitted"... even if I try to rename this I get the same error
public class MainScreenActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
WebView webview = new WebView(this);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.loadUrl("http://www.talk-of-the-tyne.co.uk");
setContentView(webview);
private class MainScreenActivity extends WebViewClient {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
}
}
Apologies if I am being thick about this, I just can't seem to get my head around this one

try this code:
WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
