Loading package html + resources into webview
I would like to know how I can display a HTML page in webview with references to relative/local images. The goal is to have the html page and all linked images contained in the android application package itself.
Where would I need to place the assets (assets directory?) and how do I reference these so they load into the webview?
Thanx! Sven
Answer
You can put all html and images to assets directory, like:
assets\html\
index.html
image1.png
image2.jpg
All references to the images in the html file should be in form of file:// url
<html>
<body>
<img src="file:///android_asset/html/image1.png">
<img src="file:///android_asset/html/image2.jpg">
</body>
</html>
After all, just load this HTML to WebView as usual:
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html/index.html");
