Whats the actual path to be followed to get a file placed in assets folder for webview?

Question

I have a "index.html" file which I have placed inside a folder named "webpages" and this page is under assets folder in an hierarchy as

my_android_project --> assets --> webpages --> index.html

now in my webview code -

 WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

            WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
            webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
            webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);           

            myWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());

        myWebView.loadUrl("file:///android_assets/webpages/index.html");

still my webview says webpage not found. Please guide. I am new to android. Thanks.

remove the s from /android_assets/. This may not fix it however, an answer to another question suggests this does not work in honeycomb+ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3152422/webview-load-html-from-assets-directory — RED_, Jan 26 '14 at 16:54
No problem, I'll add it as an answer, can you mark it as correct? — RED_, Jan 26 '14 at 17:08

Removing the s from /android_assets/ as seen in the code here should fix your issue, but beware of the comment that says it does not work in honeycomb.

I would say

"/webpages/index.html".
