WebView in Fragment doesn't load HTML string

Question

I'm passing an HTML string to my Fragment. It loads it into a WebView but nothing happens, the fragment remains empty.

I'm pretty sure (thanks to logs) that my Fragment is receiving the HTML string.

That's the Fragment code:

private WebView mWebView;
String html;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, "VideogamesWebViewFragment --> onCreate()");
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    Bundle bundle = this.getArguments();
    if(bundle != null)
    {
        html = bundle.getString("html");
    }

super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, "VideogamesWebViewFragment --> onCreateView()");
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.default_web_view, container,
            false);
    mWebView = (WebView) view.findViewById(R.id.webview);   
    mWebView.getSettings().setLoadsImagesAutomatically(true);         
    //load html string   
    mWebView.loadData(html, "text/html", null);  

    return view;
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, "VideogamesWebViewFragment --> onDestroy()");
    super.onDestroy();
}

@Override
public void onDestroyView() {
    Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, "VideogamesWebViewFragment --> onDestroyView()");
    super.onDestroyView();
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    Log.d(MainActivity.TAG, "VideogamesWebViewFragment --> onResume()");
}

@Override
public void onViewStateRestored(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewStateRestored(savedInstanceState);  
    Log.d(MainActivity.TAG,"VideogamesWebViewFragment --> onViewStateRestored()");
}  

I also get these errors:

Answer 1

onCreateView can be called before or after onActivityCreated depending on how you add your Fragment. Try loading the HTML in onResume or onStart

Answer 2

Don't care about the errors you get from the logcat.

In my case, I loaded a site which contains a Image slider. The logcat produces the same error code when the image in slider is changes the images. I assumed that it might because of the webpage computes the size of the screen of my device. I just gussed because its from gl, Im not sure..

05-03 10:15:25.149: E/eglCodecCommon(5081): ERROR unknown type 0x1(glSizeof,73)

But it didn't trouble my app anymore.
