I am throwing HTML to a webview to render. In the HTML I need to load an image that I have in /res/drawable
.
I have /res/drawable/my_image.png
and code such as this:
final WebView browser = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.my_webview);
String html = new MyHelper(myObject).getHtml();
browser.loadDataWithBaseURL("", html, "text/html", "UTF-8", "");
Where the String html
has something like:
<html><head>
<h1>Here is the image</h1>
<img src="my_image.png" />
</head><html>
The question is, what should that image src
attribute be to refer to the image in /res/drawable
?
This worked in android 2.2
<img src = "file:///android_res/drawable/q1.png" />
where q1.png is in the res/drawable-hdpi folder
I admit I don't know much about WebViews / HTML, but it seems like you're taking the more complicated route for this. There's an easy way to load the HTML file; put it in your assets folder, and then it can be referred to as follows.
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.html");
setContentView(webView);
Obviously your layout is more complex as you have more than just the WebView so you can't use setContentView()
directly, but that's the basic idea. Then to reference an image in that HTML file, I used a <img>
tag like so:
<img src="res/drawable/icon.png"/>
Does that work for you?
