Android 2.3 Hebrew Fonts In Webview
I am porting an app that displays Hebrew to Android 2.3. The 2.3 emulator displays the strings correctly when in a TextView, but when I try to put the strings in a WebView, the web
Solution 1:
When you display the page, you aren't giving a way for the browser to know that your page uses a right-to-left script.
You can use the HTML dir attribute in a markup element that surrounds your right-to-left text (it should detect automatically which characters to reverse, and which not to). (For more details, look at this note from W3C - it seems to be implemented in Chrome at least.)
Probably the most expedient way would be to rewrite the first tag as:
<html dir="rtl">
Solution 2:
I changed the font of the webview by adding
mWebView.getSettings().setFixedFontFamily("DroidSansHebrew.ttf");
The text is rendered in the correct font but left-to-right which is not the correct orientation for Hebrew.
