In latest android versions we cant access resources such as assets , files from storage. https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/webkit/WebViewAssetLoader is best guide to proceed. WebViewAssetLoader and its internal classes helps to access them.

you can check the below sample code.

    final WebViewAssetLoader assetLoader = new WebViewAssetLoader.Builder()
            .addPathHandler("/assets/", new WebViewAssetLoader.AssetsPathHandler(this)) //****for assets****
            .addPathHandler("/images/", new WebViewAssetLoader.InternalStoragePathHandler(context, getFilesDir()))//****for files****
            .build();

    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public WebResourceResponse shouldInterceptRequest(WebView view,
                                                          WebResourceRequest request) {
            return assetLoader.shouldInterceptRequest(request.getUrl());
        }
    });

    String assetsPic = "";
    String storagePic = "";
    webView.loadData(assetsPic+"
"+storagePic, "text/html", "UTF-8");
