XMLHttpRequest cannot load file from android asset folder on emulator

Question

I am new to hybrid development. I wrote a small application which launches webview. I have XML, JS files copied in /asset folder.

App works fine on my samsung tablet

Answer 1

got the same error. I fixed it by changing some settings of the webview in the activities onCreate() method as follows:

// settings for webview
mWebView = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.activity_main_webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);
mWebView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setAllowContentAccess(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true);

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

Hope that might help you :)
