WebView won't display static HTML in 4.2.2, but works in 2.3.3

I can't get a WebView to display static HTML. It works in Android 2.3.3 but not in 4.2.2. No similar questions appear relevant, as I'm not using Javascript, HTTPS, and I tried clicking on the view. I tried the documentation http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html

TmpActivity.java

public class TmpActivity extends Activity {

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_tmp);
        WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
        webView.loadData("<html><body>You scored <b>192</b> points.</body></html>","texl/html","UTF-8");
    }

activity_tmp.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".TmpActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/webView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp" />

</RelativeLayout>

There are no errors in the logs. The only error is

Solution

  • Looks like a typo

    texl/html -> text/html
