Answer 1

I tried the methods mentioned before with no success, so this are the options that worked for me to load an image from the external storage:

Load the image directly into the WebView.

Supossing that i have an image called image.jpg inside the root of the external storage directory (in my case /storage/emulated/0/image.jpg) .

  String pathExternalStorage = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toString();
  String imagePath = pathExternalStorage + "/" + "imagen.jpg";

    /*

    //We can chek if the file really exists. 
    File archivo = new File(imagePath);
    if(archivo.exists()){
        Log.i("TAG" , "EXISTS " + imagePath);
    }else{
        Log.e("TAG" , "DOESN´T EXISTS " +imagePath );
    }
    */

  String imagePath = "file://" + imagePath;
  webView.loadUrl(imagePath);

Loading the image using a html template to load into theWebView.

 String pathExternalStorage = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toString();
 String imagePath = pathExternalStorage + "/" + "image.jpg";

String imagePathWV = "file://" + imagePath;
String html = ("");
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, html, "text/html","utf-8",null);
