A in a TextView with fromHtml

Question

I want to load an image in a TextView with fromHtml

In the answer to this question a <img src="your_link"> should work in a TextView, but I only get a green square, see image below:

Result

This is the HTML that's loaded:

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
<body> 
<h1>Image</h1> 
<img src="http://hanassets.nd.gov/images/product/test.png"> 
</body>
</html>

I use databinding: `android:text='@{Html.fromHtml(message != null ? message : "")}'` — rvanrees, Aug 06 '18 at 11:42

Loading an image with is not possible using fromHtml() method. This method just helps you get the text styling from html

I think you're right, I'm now using a `WebView` instead – rvanrees Aug 06 '18 at 12:00
WebView will do the needful. Enjoy :) – Viswanath Kumar Sandu Aug 06 '18 at 12:00

It's a long shot, but did you add the permission in the android manifest?

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
