I have a local html page along with several other resources pointed by it (css files and Javascript libraries) that I would like to load into a WebView . How could this be achieved ?

Perhaps not the best way to procede but I'm still experimenting.

The easiest way would probably be to put your web resources into the assets folder then call:

webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/filename.html");

For Complete Communication between Java and Webview See This

Update: The assets folder is usually the following folder: <project>/src/main/assets This can be changed in the asset folder configuration setting in your <app>.iml file as:

<option name=”ASSETS_FOLDER_RELATIVE_PATH” value=”/src/main/assets” /> See Article Where to place the assets folder in Android Studio
