I was facing the same issue.

Solved this by applying the code below

WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(location);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
String data = new BasicResponseHandler().handleResponse(response);
String base64 = android.util.Base64.encodeToString(data.getBytes("UTF-8"), android.util.Base64.DEFAULT);
webView.loadData(base64, "text/html; charset=utf-8", "base64");

This will fix all issues in webview rendering from android 1.5+

Will definitely work for you!

This is a SDK Bug The loadData(String, ..., ...) method converts the content of the strings into a uri, and such that my code contains characters that needs to be encoded like % it truncated the code causing errors. so the solution as found here was to convert those characters to unicode as this code

public final static void webViewLoadData(WebView web, String html) {
  StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder(html.length());
  for (char c : html.toCharArray()) {
    switch (c) {
      case '#':  buf.append("%23"); break;
      case '%':  buf.append("%25"); break;
      case '\'': buf.append("%27"); break;
      case '?':  buf.append("%3f"); break;                
      default:
        buf.append(c); break;
      }
  }
  web.loadData(buf.toString(), "text/html", "utf-8");
}

I've placed provided html file to assets folder with name snipt.html. And this code displays it correctly.

final WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
final WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/snipt.html");
