HTML page is not displayed in the WebView!

[Amalkotey]

Hello,

I myself my copyright notice in a WebView view, so that I reach a link after my Internetpräzenz. I would like to download the HTML text in my program with the following copy

Dim pnlCopyright As Panel
Dim pnlclose As Panel
Dim wvCopyright As WebView
Dim bmpBackground As Bitmap   

pnlCopyright.Initialize("")
wvCopyright.Initialize("")
pnlclose.Initialize("")

bmpBackground.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "bgclose.png")
pnlclose.SetBackgroundImage(bmpBackground)

Activity.LoadLayout("copyright")

o.Target = wvCopyright
o.RunMethod2("clearCache", "False", "java.lang.boolean")

wvCopyright.LoadHtml("file:///android_asset/copyright.htm")

The HTML is read and shown with either LoardHTML or LoadUrl. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help in advance.

You need to do something like this:

MyHTML = File.GetText(File.DirAssets, "copyright.htm")
wvCopyright.LoadHtml(MyHTML)

Or try:

wvCopyright.LoadUrl("file:///android_asset/copyright.htm")

@all:

Thanks for the help. Both variants, LordHtml and LoadUrl, have not worked. I uninstalled now the Kaspersky Mobile, and behold, the Web page is displayed.

I bet Kaspersky has a firewall 'feature' that was blocking your WebView from access to the internet.

I have Avast Mobile Security on my mobile and that has a user configurable firewall - not that i have it enabled.

During the development process - what directory is functioning as the
android_asset directory?

Is that an alias for the files directory?

Yes.
