Android webview url request with query string

Question

I need to know, in android sdk 4.0

the following line says that 'the file is not found'. But the webview loads perfectly in sdk 2.2 and 2.3 etc.

mWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/currentLocation.html?width_="+grosswt+"&height_="+grossht);

Is there any other way to send query string with url in android webview?

This is a well known bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17535

You can find a workaround for Honeycomb and ICS here:

Answer 2

Yes, this is a known bug, even in ICS.

Google don't feel like fixing it.
