Loading an Android Resource into a WebView

Question

I have an Android app that displays a comic book. To make use of the built-in zoom controls, I am loading the pictures in a WebView like so:

webView.loadUrl(         


        

Answer 1

from this site

Using the resource id, the format is:

"android.resource://[package]/[res id]"

Uri path = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.androidbook.samplevideo/" + R.raw.myvideo);

or, using the resource subdirectory (type) and resource name (filename without extension), the format is:

"android.resource://[package]/[res type]/[res name]"

Uri path = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.androidbook.samplevideo/raw/myvideo");

Answer 2

I also had to use loadDataWithBaseURL instead of just plain loadData to get the file:///android_res/drawable/page1.jpg to work.
