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, "");

I looked into this solution history.pushState does not update url for "share ..." button on mobile Chrome.
I tried this snippet,
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<link rel="canonical" href="http://localhost:3000">
<title>Test Website</title>
<script src="./jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
Hey shan <br> <br>
<button id="btn">Click me</button>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#btn').click(function () {
history.pushState({urlPath:'/'}, "/", "/1234?name=shan&color=87878");
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is working even without changing canonical url too. With the above code if i click the native share button in android chrome browser the string http://localhost:3000/1234?name=shan&color=87878 gets copied.
But in my actual website the same is not happening. The only change over there is Router.replace from nextjs. The approximate snippet looks like this
buttonClick = Router.replace(...)
The problem is when user clicks a button Router.replace is called with the params and everything works except the native share copies only the url http://localhost:3000/1234 not the query string.
But the querystring gets copied when i use the copy button or edit button on the browser.
I am not sure how to approach this problem, what could be the issue? Is any meta tag could block copying the queryparam?
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>

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
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.
So i have a webview in which i want to display some html ... If i load html from web like this:
wv.loadUrl("http://www.somepage.com/somehtml.html");
It shows all characters like it should. Then i downloaded that code and save it to assets folder, now it laods but it doesn't show characters like š,ž,č correctly. I load it like that
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/samehtml.html");
In the head of html i have set charset to utf-8. Start of my html looks like thease...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<title></title>
<meta name="Generator" content="Cocoa HTML Writer">
<meta name="CocoaVersion" content="1138.32">

I'm searching for a way to load remote html's in phonegap android app.
I'm using super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/hello.html"); but how to load remote html page?
it's very simple Venkat,
just load required html page with the http request,
super.loadUrl("http://www.test.com/test1.html");
or you can load local html file like you did
super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/hello.html");
and in hello.html used window.location in onLoad() javascript function to load external html page.
