iOS Question What is the B4i name of the B4A name "file:///android_asset/"

klaus · Dec 6, 2014

To load a file from DirAssets to a WebView we use
in B4A: wbvHelp.LoadUrl("file:///android_asset/" & HelpFile)
in B4i: wbvHelp.LoadUrl("file:///???/" & HelpFile)

Try this:

B4X:

wvHelp.LoadUrl("file://" & File.Combine(File.DirAssets, HelpFile))

I have the following code in an Html Page that I load into a webview in b4a. It pulls a jpg file from the assets folder. What do I need to change in the html code so that it pulls the jpg file from the assets folder using b4i? It's not working in b4i.

B4X:

<img src="file:///android_asset/hymns.jpg" width="100">

B4X:

"<img src=""file://" & File.Combine(File.DirAssets, "hymns.jpg") & """ width=""100"">"

That doesn't seem to work.

Are you using LoadHtml to load this string? If yes then the base path is the assets folder so you just need to use the file name.

No, I'm using loadurl to load a web page. The web page contains the code mentioned previously. It works just fine in b4a but not b4i.

Can you upload your project (or a small project that demonstrates it)?

This code works for me:

B4X:

Dim linktoimage as String
linktoimage = File.Combine(File.DirAssets, "pic.png")
WebView1.LoadHtml("<html><head></head><body><img src=' " & linktoimage & " '></body></html>")
