How to Play local swf files in a webview

Question

Am trying to play local .swf files (kept in asset or sdcard) inside webview. But am not getting any luck...Can anyone guide me the proper way??? I am able to play swf files

Answer 1

For assets:

webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/YourFile.swf");

will play the file auto-scaled to the WebView size.

For the SD card, I expect something like this would work:

if (!Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)){
    Log.d(TAG, "No SDCard");
} else {
    webView.loadUrl("file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/YourPath/YourFile.swf");
}

(Using the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, of course).

Edit: You may also need to set:

webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
