Android: how to format a html string to be displayed in a webview?

Here is why I want to do. I have an html string extracted from a rss feed. I want it to display nicely in a WebView embedded in my activity. I can easily do it using the loadData() function, but the display isn't optimized for a small device : in another word I want to resize the html content not to exceed my view width. So images, frames, tables need to be resized.

How can I do it ? I thought I could use Google Wireless Transcoder service but it only works with urls

One option would be to use css, but it depends on the feed (each post might have different formatting / apply styles inline) Use loadDataWithBaseURL(), with "file:///android_asset/" as the base url. Put a css file in your /project/assets folder. Inject the css file into the tag of your html.
