Unfortunately, this approach is intractable for viewing HTML. The problem

images and then fire off threads to download and embed them, which is
possible but obviously non-trivial. However, even if this were implemented,
the web view has a hard limit on the amount of data you can embed in it which
seems to be set in stone. In fact, the web view control became *less*
flexible in later versions of Android, probably for security reasons.

Thanks for the explanation, it sounds tricky indeed!

In the meantime I modified my GophComix engine so it generates embedded images in the html code of my gopher comics agregator, and it now works perfectly on my Android phone with Overbite :)

cheers,
