android image webview local

In my app I'm making a basic HTML help document. I wanted my app's logo in the HTML img tag itself, but I don't know how I'd reference to the logo which will be stored in assets.

Is this possible, if so how?

Thanks for the help!

Put your Logo into the assets directory eg: assets/logo.png

Then load your html with:

webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", htmlData, "text/html", "utf-8", null);

Reference your img like: 

<img src="logo.png">
