Improve Markdown Rendering when using Webview (Android)

Opening Repos with a lot of Markdown content in its Readme.md file crashes the app. Also in a lot of cases even if the Markdown is not huge it is unable to render it completely.

Examples:

• https://github.com/transloadit/uppy
• https://github.com/mdn/content
• https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs

Thanks for the feedback.

Could you please provide more device info, for example, Android or iOS, System version?

@pd4d10 I am having the same issue, on latest fdroid build 1.11.1.

Device: Google Pixel 4 non-xl, Android 11 Janurary 2021 security update.

The other application, OctoDroid which I was looking to switch from as this integrates other services like Gitlab, also had similar issue was was addressed in an earlier update.

I have the same issue. How about setting the flutter render engine as default before this issue is properly solved?

[pd4d10]

Yep, it seems that the Android webview widget may have some problems, for example #123 and #194

setting the flutter render engine as default

Makes sense. We could make Flutter render engine as default on Android.

The reason we prefer Webview previously is that inline HTML is not supported in the Flutter markdown widget.

BTW, this issue could be submitted to the official repo: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22p%3A+webview%22
