Android html image prob

Question

I am displaying a text file that contains html code in a webview using loadData(). The html code has a image tag like <img src="file:///android_asset/test.png" alt="cd4+ cell"> and placed the test.png file in the res\drawable folder. But webview is displaying perfect without the img. Where is the probelm in my system?

Answer 1

Try using loadDataWithBaseUrl() instead of loadData(). Something like this:

public void loadHTML() {  
    final String mimeType = "text/html";  
    final String encoding = "utf-8";  
    final String html = "<img src=\"file:///android_asset/test.png\" />";  

    WebView wv = (WebView) findViewById(yourIDhere);  
    wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("fake://not/needed", html, mimeType, encoding, ""); 
}
