Displaying Android asset files in a WebView?

by

Well, I found something that seems to work (on 1.6 and 2.2), in spite of a warning that it would recurse.

I also discovered that a css style-sheet link inside the first and second page both work without the following intercept. Odd and it makes me a bit nervous. Thoughts?

Here’s the code:

WebView wv = (WebView)this.findViewById(R.id.splashWebView);
wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {  
  @Override  
  public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url)  
  {  
    view.loadUrl(url);
    return true;
  }  
}); 
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/html_no_copy/demo_welcome.html");

Here’s the file contents:

demo_welcome.html:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
