Android HtmlContent should use LoadDataWithBaseURL #36
Description
I was having some html content not appearing when using the WebView.HtmlContent property. After doing a bit of digging I've discovered that it's due to the use of LoadData in the Android.Webkit.WebView. This code fails to have anything display:
var webView = new global::Android.Webkit.WebView(parentContext);
webView.LoadData( """

But this works fine:
webView.LoadDataWithBaseURL(null, """

""",default, default, null);
Changed the source to test it there, but I can't get source code to build due to this:
14:36:27:737 1>C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\8.0.100\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.TargetFrameworkInference.targets(117,5): error NETSDK1139: The target platform identifier ios was not recognized.
Installed ios workload again, but not working so far, sadly.
Anyway, only change is:
bool IWebViewControl.NavigateToString(string htmlContent)
[..]
webView.LoadData(htmlContent, default, default);
becomes:
webView.LoadDataWithBaseURL(null, htmlContent, default, default, null);
I'm not sure how to submit the source change so hopefully someone can to make the change and put it into the nuget packages.
Thanks,
Stefan
