Android Question Load html to WebView

[Stefano Di Chiano]

Hello,
I'm looking for a way of loading html code from a file in my files directory in a webview.
I looked up for a solution in the forum but none seems to work.
I tried both loadHtml adn loadUrl, using as argument of the sub File.DirAssets & "file.html", "file:///android_asset/file.html" and others.
I also tried WebView1.LoadUrl(File.GetUri(File.DirAssets,"yourfile.html")) but File.GetUri doesn't show up.

You definitely want to only use the .LoadHTML and not LoadURL if you want to display a local html file.

Try this:

webview.loadhtml(File.ReadString(File.DirAssets,"myfile.html"))

webview.loadhtml(File.ReadString(File.DirAssets,"myfile.html"))

It seems to work. How do I link a css file? Because the css settings are not loaded.

Do a forum search of "css webview" and it will show you how.
