I am parsing a json feed and displaying its content in a android webview. Everything works great. But now i want to hide all img tags in that android webview.
The problem is that the content in the webview is showen dynamically, that means i don't know the img tag parameters. So i need something to replace everything in that string that begins with
<img ... >
and ends with
</img>
How can I do that?
Because none of these answeres worked for me, i finally decided to use jsoup to filter and remove all img tags.
using jsop was a little bit complex but it worked!!
EDIT Here is an example java code
String content = "<h1>title</h1><img src="http://..."></img>";
if(content != null) {
Document document = Jsoup.parse(content);
document.select("img").remove();
content = document.toString();
}
If you handle the String yourself and you set it to the webview, then suppose your content is in a String called oldWebViewContent , and try this :
String webViewContentExcludeImage = oldWebViewContent.replaceAll("<img .*?</img>","");
\n from your string : oldWebViewContent=oldWebViewContent.replaceAll("\\n",""); then use the code in the answer.
<img src=""/>, which would not work for this example. In fact, an img tag may not even have a / at all. Due to the nature of HTML, regex is not usually the best thing to use.
/) tag at all? (As used on the W3C site)
