Android Question webview load url does not open android_asset files

[korn]

when webview is used with load html, any html reference to images,js,etc in file:///android_asset works perfectly.

but when webview is used with loadurl('http://someserver.com') then any html tag reference to images,js, etc in android_asset does not load.

is it true that only html loaded locally from android_asset can use images,js from asset folder. and when we load html from external server, webview cannot access asset files.

Or the base url of relative links is not being set?

thanks for your reply.

i am using 3.20 version, which does not support #DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true attribute.

since i have tested with two webviews (one with loadhtml & another loadurl), as one of the webview loads asset picture. so i think file is properly copied to project asset folder.

warwound, i am referencing files as <img src ="file:///android_asset/file.jpg" /> so it is not relative reference.

The WebView can be unpredictable in behaviour.
Whether it will recognise your file based links or not i am not sure.
(And no doubt different versions of Android will behave differently as seems the way with the WebView ).

Can you modify your links so they are relative to the assets folder:

<img src ="file.jpg" />

Does that work?
