Android WebView -> Display WebArchive

Question

Android\'s WebView has this saveWebArchive method since API level 11: http://developer.android.com/.

It can save entire websites as webarchives, which is great! But

Answer 1

I've found an undocumented way of reading saved webarchive. Just do:

String raw_data = (read the mywebarchivefile as a string)

and then call

webview.loadDataWithBaseURL(mywebarchivefile, raw_data, "application/x-webarchive-xml", "UTF-8", null);

The reference: http://androidxref.com/4.0.4/xref/external/webkit/Source/WebCore/loader/archive/ArchiveFactory.cpp

Available from Android 3.0, api level 11.
