webview loaddata in android does not load a picture from img src

Question

I use loadData method to load some html content into a webview, but when it encounters something like this :
<a href="http://www.anywebsite.fr/"&gt;some text</a><img src="http://www.anotherwebsite.fr/thewantedpicture" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />
I only get this in the application :
some text
And if I'm not mistaken, this should also display the picture ? If someone has any lead, thanks...

If you look at the documentation for the loadData() method you'll see it says:

Content loaded through this mechanism does not have the ability to load content from the network.

Try using the loadDataWithBaseURL() method instead.
