Loading existing .html file with android WebView

by

ok, that was my very stupid mistake. I post the answer here just in case someone has the same problem.

The correct path for files stored in assets folder is file:///android_asset/* (with no “s” for assets folder which i was always thinking it must have a “s”).

And, mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/myfile.html"); works under all API levels.

I still not figure out why mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_res/raw/myfile.html"); works only on API level 8. But it doesn’t matter now.
