@Android display /res/viewable in WebView

Question

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

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 tag like so:

Does that work for you?
