I'm using the first sample code for charts API on my Android Gingerbread and it shows and error, Cannot set property 'overflow' of null

I'm developing using Phonegap, hence using JS and HTML only. The interesting part is, it seems to work fine for Andorid ICS.

The sample code is here,

<html>

<head>

// Load the Visualization API and the piechart package.

google.load('visualization', '1.0', {'packages':['corechart']});

// Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded.

google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);

// Callback that creates and populates a data table,

// instantiates the pie chart, passes in the data and

// draws it.

function drawChart() {

// Create the data table.

var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();

data.addColumn('string', 'Topping');

data.addColumn('number', 'Slices');

data.addRows([

['Mushrooms', 3],

['Onions', 1],

['Olives', 1],

['Zucchini', 1],

['Pepperoni', 2]

]);

// Set chart options

var options = {'title':'How Much Pizza I Ate Last Night',

'width':400,

'height':300};

// Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options.

var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));

chart.draw(data, options);

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

The fact that it works on ICS and not on GB is expected.

SVG is not supported by the Android Browser before Honeycomb.

The Android browser for Gingerbread doesn't support SVG, so the API doesn't work on it. SVG is supported in Honeycomb and later versions of Android only.
