android webpages in webview

Question

i want to store webpages inside the android project folder so that a user does nor needs a internet connection to view the webpages. i am using android webview. i am able to see the webpages with the HTTP protocol . My code is as below:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_home);

        WebView webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
       // webview.loadUrl("http://www.mysite.com/index.html");

        webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    }

but i want to see the webpages offline. is there any way that webpages can be stored as resource in android project folder and view even without internet connection?

yes !

Put them in the /assets folder and access them like this :

webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/my_html_page.html");

This questions already have been answered : Webview load html from assets directory

store the webpage in your Asset folder and use

         public  File getfile(String filename) throws IOException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   String externalStorage_path          =Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
   String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
   if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)){
        File dir = new File(externalStorage_path + "/yourfilename");
        dir.mkdir();
        File mfile = new File(dir,filename);
        if( mfile.exists()==true)  return  mfile;
        else{
              try{
                  InputStream myInput =  mcontext.getAssets().open(filename);
                  String path =externalStorage_path+"/yourfilename";
                  OutputStream  myOutput = new FileOutputStream (path);
                  byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                  int length;
                  try {
                      while((length = myInput.read(buffer))>0)
                      myOutput.write(buffer,0,length);
                  }catch(FileNotFoundException e){Log.d("error",""+ e.toString());
                  }finally{
                      myOutput.flush();
                      myOutput.close();
                      myInput.close();
                  }
              }catch(IOException e){ }
              File dir1 = new File(externalStorage_path + "/yourfilename");
              dir1.mkdir();
              File mfile1 = new File(dir,filename);
              return mfile1;
        }
   }else if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY.equals(state)){
       showToast("External storage has readonly access");
   } else if (Environment.MEDIA_REMOVED.equals(state)) {
       showToast("External storage not present");
   } else if (Environment.MEDIA_UNMOUNTABLE.equals(state)){
       showToast("External storage cannot be mounted. Sdcard problem");
   }

this will write the file in your storage and can be share by another Application like Adobe to open. jUST called this method.

Uh, this seems like overkill to just display one Page. – Raghav Sood Sep 05 '12 at 12:54 — Raghav Sood, Sep 05 '12 at 12:54
