Changing text color in a WebView?
Question
There's a method for altering background color but not font.
Any ideas?
Solution
I'm not sure I understand. The WebView just displays the HTML you give it so you would just use normal HTML/CSS to modify the content displayed within.

something like
String text = "<html><head>"
+ "<style type=\"text/css\">body{color: #fff; background-color: #000;}"
+ "</style></head>"
+ "<body>"
+ your_string_text_here
+ "</body></html>";
webview1.loadData(text, "text/html", "utf-8");
I had to put it in the onPageFinished method.
_webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
_webView.loadUrl(
"javascript:document.body.style.setProperty(\"color\", \"white\");"
);
}
});
This is the easiest way I found (change the text color to white for example):
webview.loadUrl("javascript:document.body.style.color=\"white\";");
This worked for me
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(
"javascript:document.body.style.setProperty(\"color\", \"white\");"
);
}
});
When the buffer is SPANNABLE, modifying the HTML directly is an ideal solution. The font, color, typeface, style can all be affected through HTML:
String szMessage = "<font face='trebuchet' size=30><a href=zz><b>click me</b></a></font>";
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv_message);
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(szMessage), BufferType.SPANNABLE);
@rafraph's answer didn't work for me. I had to use
webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.body.style.setProperty(\"color\", \"white\");");
You can concatenate your answer one body tag HTML with CSS style hex color, this is an example using a JSON response
First: function for decode JSON to HTML format
public String stripHtml(String html) {
return Html.fromHtml(html).toString();
}
Second: Load data in WebView (no url)
String string_html;
string_html = "<body style="color:#535362;">" + youStringHTML + "</body>";
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, stripHtml(string_html), "text/html", "utf-8", null);
