Thank you for your help

Are you asking about Basic4android (WebView) or Basic4ppc?

Hello

Basic4android
Android 2.2 phone

 

[Erel]

It should be:

WebView.LoadUrl("file://" & File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal, "yourfile.html"))

 

[SoyEli]

Thank you for your reply:

it is a text.txt file not a .html
I tried what you said and it does not do anything.
I can go in with file manager and select the file and open with HTMLviewer
an it opens ok.

Thank you again

This line works in one of my apps

WebViewHelp.LoadUrl ("file://"&File.Combine (savedir, "summary.txt"))

savedir is just File.DirRootExternal.

Are you sure the file is where you think it is?

Thank you will try again

Hello:

this is what I Have:

Dim ShowMe As WebView, TxT as string
Txt="FileName"
ShowMe.Initialize("ShowMe")
ShowMe.LoadUrl("file://" & File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal,"FirstFolder\SubFolder\"&Txt&".txt"))

Runs with NO errors, just does not do anything.
I am 100% I got the path correct.

Thank You

You should add the WebView to the Activity.

LoadURL Code

myw.Initialize("myw")
activity.AddView(myw, 0, 0, 600, 980)
myw.LoadUrl("file:///android_asset/help.txt")

The above code works fine in my app.

Thanks,

Margret
