NativeScript-vue: Unable to display local HTML in WebView

I'm using NativeScript-vue.

I want to use WebView to display an HTML file in a local asset.

src/components/App.vue:

<template>
  <Frame>
    <Page>
      <GridLayout columns="*" rows="*">
        <WebView row="0" col="0" src="~/assets/index.html" />
      </GridLayout>
    </Page>
  </Frame>
</template>

src/main.ts:

import Vue from 'nativescript-vue';
import App from './components/App.vue';

new Vue({
  render: h => h(App)
}).$start();

src/assets/index.html:

<html>
  <body>
    <div>test</div>
  </body>
</html>

App_Resources/Android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="__PACKAGE__"
    android:versionCode="10000"
    android:versionName="1.0">

    <supports-screens
        android:smallScreens="true"
        android:normalScreens="true"
        android:largeScreens="true"
        android:xlargeScreens="true"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    <application
        android:name="com.tns.NativeScriptApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/icon"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">

        <activity
            android:name="com.tns.NativeScriptActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_kimera"
            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|locale|uiMode"
            android:theme="@style/LaunchScreenTheme">

            <meta-data android:name="SET_THEME_ON_LAUNCH" android:resource="@style/AppTheme" />

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name="com.tns.ErrorReportActivity"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

Now, I get the error "ERR_ACCESS_DENIED" when I run this application on Android Emulator.

enter image description here

This situation is the same with the actual device instead of the emulator.

Is there any possible cause?

Environment:

  • npm:
    • @nativescript/core: 7.0.3
    • nativescript-socketio: 3.3.1
    • nativescript-vue: 2.8.1
  • Emulator: API 30, Android 11.0, x86

Curiously, it works fine with the Android 10.0 (API 29, x86) emulator.

Solution

  • It turns out that in Android 11.0 and later, file access is not allowed by default!

    Android Developers Reference: WebSettings

    The default value is true for apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.Q and below, and false when targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.R and above.
