Loading html file into WebView

[Andras]

I have no problems loading picture files stored (originally!) in the Files directory into an ImageView, but can't load an html file stored in the same place into a WebView as I get a File Not Found error; why doesn't this code work, and what needs to change?

FileName = "testfile.html"
WebView1.LoadUrl ("file:///DirAssets" & FileName)

Thanks for help!

For WebView, to load your html file you must use this path:

WebView1.LoadUrl("file:///android_asset/testfile.html")

Thanks - I'd tried that earlier and I've just tried it again, but I still get File Not Found. And I know that the file is there because I put it there earlier and it's still there!

I have tried playing around with upper and lower-case letters, having been caught out like that before, but it makes no difference.

The name should be lower cases. It should work fine.
If you like you can upload your project.

Sorted! Simply a problem with the program flow that I'd misinterpreted ;-(

Thanks to both for the help; Erel made me look in the right place with his promise to examine the whole code!

This is an old thread. You should start a new thread and explain the problem.
