I have been researching for 2 days and I haven\'t found a similar problem anywhere on the internet!

From the main activity, I\'m trying to open a new activity contai

Answer 1

I updated last week from 2.3.4 to 4.0 on my HTC Sensation. The two apps i wrote had a local HTML-Contact site. On 2.3 it ran fine, now i get a "Webpage not available" site.

I found another post here on this site with the comment: "Via some discussion with a Google engineer it seems that they've made the decision that the file:// scheme is insecure."

See here for the workaround: Android 4.0.1 breaks WebView HTML 5 local storage?
