hi all
I have been using WebViewer in my app to open html files
I don't really know why but sometimes it shows "Web Page not available" and at times it works great
(This happens on a redmi phone)
but ..
it always shows "Web Page not available" on a samsung phone
The code is not changed at all
it all happens with a interval of time
Blocks :

blocks (10)
blocks (10)1059×20705 3.08 MB

This time : it fails in samsung

What is the Android version of the Redmi phone? And of the Samsung one?

  2. it extends long : on one of my screens , after showing the content on screen , it extends long with white space
  3. one one of my screens , it sometime shows full content , sometime only half
