Unless your application is based on the Android Wikipedia app, this shouldn't 
make any difference. The change to the app was not that it was styled to "look

Like Nick said, the WebKit inspector is your best bet on solving the rendering 
issue as it will show exactly what CSS rules are being applied from where.
