Working with Android-Studio, I am trying to use WebView to load a local html file that contains javascript.
First, I created an assets folder inside the Java folder. Then, I created two folders inside assets folder: html and scripts. I put my index.html page inside html folder and the index.js file inside scripts folder. The two paths look like the following in Android-Studio:
Now, when I try to load the index.html, I use the following syntax:
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///assets/html/index.html");
but it is not working. I also used each of the following:
myWebView.loadUrl("file://assets/html/index.html");
myWebView.loadUrl("file://android_assets/html/index.html");
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/html/index.html");
Still, when the page loads, it shows "Webpage not available"!!
The app works fine, the intent start and a webpage loads with the above warning message.
Here is the code:
public class DisplayMessageActivity extends Activity {
private WebView myWebView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_message);
myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/html/index.html"); // doesn't work
// myWebView.loadUrl("http://www.example.com"); // works
}
UPDATE
Here is the index.html :
<html>
<header><title>This is title</title></header>
<body>
Hello world
</body>
</html>
No javascript at the moment.

Create assets folder under main ( not inside java ) and then use
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html/index.html");
not
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset**s**/html/index.html");

Use above answer just replace
webView.loadUrl("file://android_asset/index.html");
with webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
