Description
Describe the bug
When displaying a html file that contains a style element (on Android) the page is not rendered and remains white. The html file is rendered correctly with Android's HTML Viewer The html file is rendered correctly in WebView on Windows The html file was rendered correctly in WebView on Android with Toga 0.3.1dev93
When the style element is removed, the page is shown in WebView (but without the styles of course). When using a separate CSS file, the html file is shwon in WebView but without the styles.
Steps to reproduce
I use this code to display the html file:
# create box for content
main_box = toga.Box(style=Pack(direction=COLUMN, flex=1))
# read help file
f = open(self._html_file, "r", encoding="utf-8")
text = f.read()
f.close()
webView = toga.WebView(style=Pack(flex=1))
webView.set_content("data:text/html", text)
main_box.add(webView)
Expected behavior
The html file should be rendered correctly also with Toga 0.4.x
