Android WebView not loading local HTML files

Issue

I'm using the standard Android SDK with Ecliple as provided from the Android website.

What I want to to is to have an activity display a WebView that loads a local HTML-file. Everything works fine until I try to load the webview.

I've placed all the index-files I've tried in the project's assets-folder.

This is the code in my activity:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    WebView webView = new WebView(this);
    webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    webView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/www/index.html");
    setContentView(webView);
}

When I run the app over ADB, I get the following message in the WebView:

Webpage not available The webpage at file:///android_assets/www/index.html might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

I know this problem has been posted before, and I've tried every single solution out there. But it just won't load. It displays online http-addresses just fine, but it doesn't seem to find any of the local files.

Please help me, this drives me mad.

Solution

Change this line:

webView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/www/index.html");

to this :

webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

is android_asset not android_assets :D. Good Luck
