Try using `str = http://files.flipsnack.com/iframe/embed.html?hash=fdk843nc&wmode=window&bgcolor=EEEEEE&t=1381431045%22%20width=%22640%22%20height=%22385%22%20seamless=%22seamless%22%20scrolling=%22no%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowtransparency=%22true%22` `webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, str, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);` — Aniruddha, Jun 09 '14 at 10:23
@Aniruddha your previous comment help me to solve these problem.post your answer like these: `webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, "", "text/html", "UTF-8", null);`. then if you provide some explanation with that answer also its better for me. — Stephen, Jun 09 '14 at 10:38

Change your

webView.loadUrl("<iframe src=\"http://files.flipsnack.com/iframe/embed.html?hash=fdk843nc&wmode=window&bgcolor=EEEEEE&t=1381431045\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\" seamless=\"seamless\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"></iframe>";

to

webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, "<iframe src=\"http://files.flipsnack.com/iframe/embed.html?hash=fdk843nc&wmode=window&bg‌color=EEEEEE&t=1381431045\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\" seamless=\"seamless\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"></iframe>", "text/html", "UTF-8", null);

The loadDataWithBaseURL() method takes, among other parameters, the “base URL” to use when resolving relative URLs in the HTML. Any relative URL (e.g., ) will be interpreted as being relative to the base URL supplied to loadDataWithBaseURL(). If you find that you have content that refuses to load properly with loadData(), try loadDataWithBaseURL() with a null base URL, as sometimes that works better, for unknown reasons.

> as sometimes that works better, for unknown reasons. If you don't specify base url, the entire text becomes your url. And if that text contains `#` character, it the is interpreted as anchor and eveything after the `#` character gets cut off. Probably similar bug exists for other characters too — Alexey, Aug 23 '19 at 07:13

i have tried and works fine in webviewFragment

 public class WebPageLoader extends Activity
 {

   final Activity activity = this;
   private String html;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      this.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
      webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

webview.loadUrl("http://files.flipsnack.com/iframe/embed.html?hash=fdk843nc&wmode=window&bgcolor=EEEEEE&t=1381431045");

       webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
        public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress)
        {
            activity.setTitle("Loading...");
            activity.setProgress(progress * 100);

            if(progress == 100)
                activity.setTitle(R.string.app_name);
        }
     });

     webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl)
        {

        }

        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
        {
            view.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }
    });

 }
}

its too much memory consuming file so may its no see proper or blank screen but its work fine but not same as web browser
