I want to display image from relative url like (//via.placeholder.com/350x150) in android web view Though i can see the html , but the image is broken in web view.
Below is my code to load image from custom html, passed to webview.loadData function.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);
String customHtml ="<html>\n" +
"<body>\n" +
"\n" +
" <h3>A demonstration of how to access an IMG element</h3>\n" +
"\n" +
" <img id=\"myImg\" src=\"//via.placeholder.com/350x150\" alt=\"The Pulpit Rock\" width=\"304\" height=\"228\">\n" +
"\n" +
" <p>Click the button to get the URL of the image.</p>\n" +
"\n" +
" <button onclick=\"myFunction()\">Try it</button>\n" +
"\n" +
" <p id=\"demo\"></p>\n" +
"\n" +
" <script>\n" +
" function myFunction() {\n" +
" var x = document.getElementById(\"myImg\").src;\n" +
" document.getElementById(\"demo\").innerHTML = x;\n" +
" }\n" +
" </script>\n" +
"\n" +
"</body>";
webView.loadData(customHtml, "text/html", "UTF-8");
}
i have proper permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>;
In my case, main problem is, i always get image with relative url i.e. it won't have http: or https: appended to the url. So what setting or function i should use in android , to display images from relative url protocol.
Please help.

This issue is customHtml with wrong src. Replace
src=\"//via.placeholder.com/350x150\"by
src="http://via.placeholder.com/350x150".
