Loading local html file in webView android

Question

I have to load an existing html file into a WebView that is located at this path in the file system:

/data/data/com.example.example/files/file.html

But, when the WebView loads it, I don't see anything. Who can help me?

WebView code (assuming path is the path I've written above):

 WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);

  File htmlFile = new File(path);
    if(htmlFile.exists())
    {
        webView.loadUrl(htmlFile.getAbsolutePath());

    }

Answer 1

Try this, adding in a file:/// and doing it a little differently:

WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webview.loadUrl("file:///data/data/com.example.example/files/file.html");  

Instead of this, however, you could just put the file into your assets folder in the source code, and then do this:

WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webView1);
webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/file.html");
