Difference between "file:///" and "file://"

Question

I tried both and both did the same. Is there any difference (only for interest)?

I have a WebView that loads local data and was able to hand over an URL like that.

Example:

webView.loadUrl("file://storage/emulated/0/folder1/folder2/hello.html"

Answer 1

The difference in URL definiton in which the schema separated from the path using schema://. The next you specify the path, if the path is absolute then it begins with /. The correct url on Unix

"file:///storage/emulated/0/folder1/folder2/hello.html"

but it could be on Windows

"file://c:/storage/emulated/0/folder1/folder2/hello.html"
