How to load html file to android app?

Issue

I'm new to android development and I'm trying to figure out how to load an HTML file that I have which contains a video. Everytime I run my app on my mobile it crashes.

This is my code which is found in the onCreate main class.

WebView wv = (WebView)this.findViewById(R.id.video);
WebSettings wbset=wv.getSettings();
wbset.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
wv.setWebViewClient(new WebClientClass());
wv.loadUrl("file:///assets/video.html");

I have the video in the assets folder. This is my manifest xml class.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.video"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="16"
    android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

And the activity is right here.

<pre lang="text">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="com.example.video.MainActivity" >

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/video"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

Solution

Use#

wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/video.html");

Instead#

wv.loadUrl("file:///assets/video.html");
