WebView does not work with local HTML files

I am trying to use WebView to show a local HTML file containing a table. However, when I use the WebView to check websites online it works perfectly, the problem is when i try to use the local HTML file.
This is the webView part of the code:
WebView myWebView = (WebView) v.findViewById(R.id.webview);
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///asset/table.html");
I have used an online host to test the HTML file with this and it worked perfectly:
myWebView.loadUrl("http://ahmad92billectric.host56.com//home.html");
the HTIML file is in app\src\main\asset, I tried calling it using the following ways:
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///andriod_asset/table.html");
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///app/src/main/assets/table.html");
myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/table.html"); //this one is assets with an s at the end
I looked up many questions here non of the answers worked for me:
Loading existing .html file with android WebView
What does file:///android_assets/www/index.html mean?
Android webview loadurl("file:///android_asset/index.html#home") failed
Android Studio Assets not loading Local HTML File
I have checked many other questions with no fruitful results. I am using android studio 0.8.14

Use file:///android_asset/table.html, which is none of your listed attempts.
You can see that in use in this sample project, though the file here is geoweb1.html:
#SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
browser=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webkit);
myLocationManager=(LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
browser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
browser.addJavascriptInterface(new Locater(), "locater");
browser.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/geoweb1.html");
}

Android WebView not loading local HTML files

I'm using the standard Android SDK with Ecliple as provided from the Android website.
What I want to to is to have an activity display a WebView that loads a local HTML-file. Everything works fine until I try to load the webview.
I've placed all the index-files I've tried in the project's assets-folder.
This is the code in my activity:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/www/index.html");
setContentView(webView);
}
When I run the app over ADB, I get the following message in the WebView:
Webpage not available
The webpage at file:///android_assets/www/index.html might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
I know this problem has been posted before, and I've tried every single solution out there. But it just won't load. It displays online http-addresses just fine, but it doesn't seem to find any of the local files.
Please help me, this drives me mad.

Change this line:
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/www/index.html");
to this :
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
is android_asset not android_assets :D. Good Luck

file://android_asset/www/index.html was not found

I am new to android programming and I am developing my first apps using eclipse.
I have kept my html and jquery codes inside assets folder.
now this is my code in mainactivity.java
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
WebView webView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
// webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient);
webView.loadUrl("file://android_asset/www/index.html");
}
when i installed app on my device and run it,
it says,
webpage not available,
the file at file://android_asset/www/index.html may have been moved permanently
plz help me to solve this

Try changing
webView.loadUrl("file://android_asset/www/index.html");
by
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html"); // please see the extra forward slash, they have to be 3.

Display HTML page with external JavaScript via Android assets

So I have been looking everywhere and doesn't seems to find working answer for this. I have dynamic html page create using iMapBuilder and it has 3 external js files. Before I have added dynamic contents html was working just fine being under assets directory with following command:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.ground_floor);
WebView wv;
wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
wv.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/imap5custom.html");
}
}
After adding dynamic content with 3 Java Script external files which are also under root assets folder, html doesn't work any more. I have tried:
mWebView.loadDataWithBaseURL
but still didn't work for me.

phonegap android: opening another html file in the phonegap webview

i am building a phonegap(v1.3) android(for 3.1 sdk) app. i load the index.html page as in the sample app
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.setIntegerProperty("loadUrlTimeoutValue", 60000);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");
}
this works fine. now later on i want to load another abc.html file in the webview when i call for it from the js through a plugin. How to achieve a function like this which we can call from a Phonegap plugin.
public void loadUrl(String file){
super.setIntegerProperty("loadUrlTimeoutValue", 60000);
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/"+file+".html");
}
Or if not this way, how to load another html in the phonegap webview?

a simple
window.location.href = "file.html";
was the way. :(
