how to load android assets css files to android WebView URL - android

Actually I want to load complete site from internet link but i want to load css files from mobile (means not from internet). Because I want to load all page faster using internal local css file.
Example :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/css/font-awesome.min.css" />
</head>
</html>
So Here I want to Load "bootstrap.min.css" and "font-awesome.min.css" from mobile memory only.
My Android Code :
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
String url = "http://www.MySiteName.com/";
view = (WebView) this.findViewById(R.id.webView);
view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // Enable JavaScript Support
view.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()); // Links open or Navigate in same webView not in Browser
view.loadUrl(url);
}

Please put CSS in assets folder, and refer to CSS by relative path, and load HTML to WebView by loadDataWithBaseURL() method:
if your css file name is mycss.css
StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder();
data .append("<HTML><HEAD><LINK href=\"mycss.css\" type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\"/></HEAD><body>");
data .append(tables.toString());
data .append("</body></HTML>");
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", data .toString(), "text/html", "utf-8", null);
thank you

Because the two other answers are just copy pastas and I happened to have the same issue I will help you with my solution:
You need to specify the file path in the head section of your html file.
Pay attention to the part after href
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///android_asset/bootstrap.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///android_asset/font-awesome.min.css" />
</head>
</html>
I just can't get my head around why the other posters just copied and pasted and didn't even read what you were trying to tell them.
I hope this helps.
Be aware that your resources folder can be named differently.

<WebView
originWhitelist={['*']}
source = {{uri:'file:///android_asset/index.html'}}
/>

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styles.css"/>
</head>
<body >
<h1>Hello World</h1>
</body>
</html>
this is an example of my css page:
my file css is stored in: react-native-project->android->app->src->main->assets->web->css
h1 {
color:red;
}

Unknown character in html inside webview android studio

I view a lot of htmls with text inside, but there seems to be one html that is not displayed correctly, for some reason all the tilde characters display an unknown character, this is strictly related to that particular html document?
Since all the others htmls are viewed perfectly in webview, i guess it has nothing to do inside android studio?
Intial portion of html document
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html><head>
<link href="Content/watermark.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Código de Proceso Penal</title></head>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
CADE
This happens due to fact that Webview is not able to detect encoding.
If you are using Webview loadData() or void loadDataWithBaseURL() method, try passing "UTF-8" as encoding, you can check same here, on developer.android.com..
it this doesn't work try with "iso-8859-1" or "iso-8859-15" encoding

Android WebView doesn't load local css file

I am working on an application in Android, where I am using a local html file which includes css files, but It won't work and I have no Idea why.
The Java code is like this:
view.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", content, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
The HTML code is like this
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="author" content="">
<title>Starter Template for Bootstrap</title>
<!-- Bootstrap core CSS -->
<link href="../css/main.css" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
</style>
The path is correct, Eclipse WebBrowser shows the html Page correct but if I test it on my Device it's without styles.
The Logcat throws the Error "Unknown Chromium Error: -6"
Thanks a lot in advance
you cannot refer to this path inside a webview. you probably need to store your css file in assets folder and refer to it dynamically:
put CSS in assets folder, do your manipulation with HTML, but refer to CSS by relative path, and load HTML to WebView by loadDataWithBaseURL() method:
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", htmlString, "text/html", "utf-8", null);
E.g. you have styles.css file, put it to assets folder, create HTML and load it:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("<HTML><HEAD><LINK href=\"styles.css\" type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\"/></HEAD><body>");
sb.append(tables.toString());
sb.append("</body></HTML>");
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", sb.toString(), "text/html","utf-8", null);
from: WebView, add local .CSS file to an HTML page?
On a related note, if you're not storing the file in the assets folder and want to use relative paths, Webview on Android sometimes requires dot-slash before relative paths.
<LINK href="./styles/file.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
See this post
In your case the error -6 means FILE_NOT_FOUND, which probably due to access permission issue on your device.
You may need to put the CSS file under the same folder of your HTML files. For security consideration, webkit engine will apply same-domain policy when accessing local files. i.e. accessing sub-resource files (such as CSS, JS, images) that are not in the same folder of your main HTML file is not allowed.

Load CSS in local in WebView

i try to load in WebView a code HTML with CSS, in local. the file CSS is storage in sdcard0/Style/Template.css. Html code is:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Style/Template.css" />
Java code is:
webView.loadData(source, "text/html", "UTF-8");
Not works.. i can't use Asset folder, there is any solution?
Have you tried using link href file ?

Displaying Android asset files in a WebView?

I have seen various discussions on the problem of serving WebView pages from assets, none of which seemed definitive.
I want to be able to use a webview to display html (and included css) files stored in the project assets.
I have found that wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html_no_copy/demo_welcome.html") displays that file okay, but links in demo_welcome.html, either local (no url prefixing the file name) or absolute - the same form as fed to loadUrl - don't work. They get a "Web page not available" error displayed on the view.
WebView wv = (WebView)this.findViewById(R.id.splashWebView);
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html_no_copy/test.html"); // Works
or
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html_no_copy/demo_welcome.html"); // Works
But neither of the following links in demo_welcome.html work:
CLICK HERE<p>
OR HERE
I know I can get around this by writing a content provider, but that seems extreme.
I want this to work from SDK 1.6 (4) on up.
Does anyone know if this can be done with just HTML, or does one need to kluge up some code to load the data?
Well, I found something that seems to work (on 1.6 and 2.2), in spite of a warning that it would recurse.
I also discovered that a css style-sheet link inside the first and second page both work without the following intercept. Odd and it makes me a bit nervous. Thoughts?
Here's the code:
WebView wv = (WebView)this.findViewById(R.id.splashWebView);
wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
#Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)
{
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
});
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html_no_copy/demo_welcome.html");
Here's the file contents:
demo_welcome.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Demo Html</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="demo.css" />
</head>
<body>
<H1>Testing One Two Three</H1>
CLICK HERE<p>
OR HERE
</body>
</html>
test.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css" />
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<H1>TEST.HTML</H1>
</body>
</html>
instead of loadUrl, try using the loadDataWithBaseURL method:
wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("fake://not/needed", html, mimeType, encoding, "");
