Displaying Android asset files in a WebView?


Well, I found something that seems to work (on 1.6 and 2.2), in spite of a warning that it would recurse.

I also discovered that a css style-sheet link inside the first and second page both work without the following intercept. Odd and it makes me a bit nervous. Thoughts?

Here's the code:

WebView wv = (WebView)this.findViewById(R.id.splashWebView);wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {    @Override    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)    {      view.loadUrl(url);    return true;  }  }); wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html_no_copy/demo_welcome.html");

Here's the file contents:

demo_welcome.html:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html>  <head>    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">    <title>Demo Html</title>    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="demo.css" />  </head>  <body>    <H1>Testing One Two Three</H1>    <a href="test.html">CLICK HERE</a><p>    <a href="file:///android_asset/html_no_copy/test.html">OR HERE</a>  </body></html>test.html:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html>  <head>    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css" />    <title>Insert title here</title>  </head>  <body>    <H1>TEST.HTML</H1>  </body></html>


instead of loadUrl, try using the loadDataWithBaseURL method:

wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("fake://not/needed", html, mimeType, encoding, "");
