Android WebView with garbled UTF-8 characters.

by

You can try to edit the settings of your webview before you load the data:

WebSettings settings = mWebView.getSettings();
settings.setDefaultTextEncodingName("utf-8");

Also, as provided in the comment below, be sure to add "charset=utf-8" to the loadData call: 

mWebView.loadData(getString(R.string.info_texto), "text/html; charset=utf-8", "utf-8");
