The difference between loadData () and loadDataWithBaseURL () in the WebView class .....?

Question

can someone tell me the difference between loadData () and loadDataWithBaseURL () in the WebView class.

when I used web.loadDataWithBaseURL("",html, mimetype, encoding,""); in my program, where html is a string containing hard-coded html tags, its display is exactly the same as the html page where, when I used loadData (html, mimetype, encoding) in my code, the application closes.

I read the API, but could not understand it ..... so please help me ...

Thanks at Advance

If someone comes across this, WebView.loadData seems to be broken:

The solutions proposed in the OP question are a workaround. I believe that zeros are cheaper than "", so I used this:

 web.loadDataWithBaseURL(null,html, "text/html", "utf-8",null);
