@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

Answer 1

I have the exact same problem, but neither placing the image file in res/drawable (which I first had to create, I hust had drawable-hdpi, -ldpi and -mdpi already existing) or using the file:///asset/ URL worked for me.

Here is what I do:

Activity:

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        String summary = "
";
        mWebView.loadData(summary, "text/html", "utf-8");

Then in res/drawable I placed the banner300.jpg - but it does not show up. Any ideas?
