Yes it is. put html in `assets` folder and load using WebView — cYrixmorten, Apr 14 '15 at 23:25
Should i put the html with all the folders ? cos my website includes other folders — Achraf Hamdi, Apr 14 '15 at 23:26
Ask please... You want add website sites in your app and later check? You want use a website html file in your app in the navigation? — josedlujan, Apr 14 '15 at 23:27
Have only done it using single html files but should work for folders with css etc as well .. is more or less just as loading your dev website using localhost. As long as the references are correct of course (refs to javascript,css..) — cYrixmorten, Apr 14 '15 at 23:29

Ok, then: First collocate the html, css, js or others files you need to charge in the same folder to do "easy way" but if you want you can use diferents path for each one.

To load the web:

    urlcapitulo = "file:///android_asset/youweb.html";  //change for you html file

   web = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webkit);  //using webview declare in xml
   web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enable javascript
   web.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true); // add zoom button

  web.loadUrl(urlcapitulo); // load url

What have you tried till now? Post your code. Stackoverflow is not about making apps for you. Its about solving any issues you are facing. A simple google search gave me many results for your question.

Following is taken from here:

WebView wv = new WebView(this);
StringBuilder html = new StringBuilder();

html.append("<html>");
html.append("<head>");

html.append("<link rel=stylesheet href='css/style.css'>");
html.append("</head>");
html.append("<body>");
html.append("<h1>Some Heading</h1>");
html.append("<p>Some HTML content</p>");
html.append("<p><img style='width: 100%;' src='spidermen.jpg' /></p>");
html.append("</body></html>");

wv.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", html.toString(), "text/html", "UTF-8", "");

enter image description here

See this as well.

For HTML file try this:

webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/filename.html");

i have seen this before and in my case i have 10 pages. i want a methode to import the page not write html code insite android classes thank you for your help — Achraf Hamdi, Apr 15 '15 at 17:04
