I did try samples, demos from Google codes and other resources with WebView
, but when i try to do it in my own code, it doesn't work for me.
I want to load myfile.html
which i put in assets folder, and using:
private WebView myWebView;
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/myfile.html");
On emulator shows error
The web page at
file:///android_assets/myfile.html
could not be loaded as: The requested file was not found./android_assets/myfile.html
When i put that file to res/raw/
folder and using:
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_res/raw/myfile.html");
then only emulator android 2.2 API level 8 can load the file probably, other older versions show the same error. Am i missing something?
Is there any way of loading an existing .html file in the application package which works on all API versions ?
ok, that was my very stupid mistake. I post the answer here just in case someone has the same problem.
The correct path for files stored in assets folder is file:///android_asset/*
(with no "s" for assets folder which i was always thinking it must have a "s").
And, mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/myfile.html");
works under all API levels.
I still not figure out why mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_res/raw/myfile.html");
works only on API level 8. But it doesn't matter now.
