Linking local image in webview

[Brad]

I'm loading a local html file into a webview. The html code is linking images that are also stored in the asset dir. I have tried several variations with no luck. I'm sure that I'm missing something easy but it seems to be escaping me tonight. :sign0163:

A small example of loading an image from the assets file is available in the manual: Basic4android - Views (Core)
Note that the file names should be referenced with lower case names.

Thanks Erel. :sign0098: Of course it was in the manual :sign0161:..Gotta stop coding late at night.

I'm still unclear about the images. Say I have MyImage01.jpg added to the assets folder how can I sue LoadURL() method and have that image referenced in the HTML code ?

or I can only use LoadHYML()?

I have an activity which supposed to display an HTML file. It works but when I added an image to the HTML file and I added the file to the FILES tab the App displays only an image placeholder with the name (no image). any ideas ?

To load a local picture you need to do this in your HTML:

<img src='file:///android_asset/mypicture.jpg'/>

that's what I needed - thank a lot!
one more thing: dos this path refer for the emulator / device or both ?

what wold be recommended method to download images from FTP or WEB server and store them in that folder, so they can be later referenced in WebView ?

To load a local picture you need to do this in your HTML:

<img src='file:///android_asset/mypicture.jpg'/>

Is that the same for all local linked files? .js .css files etc ? im using html file that uses local image and i had in the normal html way <img src='picture.jpg'/> and it still showed ?

It is always better to start a new thread for a new question.

It should work with relative links.
