Load files from Assets folder in webview

Question

I have a webview in my android app, the html file which gets loaded is on a server, however I need to address some files from app's assets folder. I wanted to ask how can I address those files.
Thanks

public class ViewWeb extends Activity {  
    @Override  
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.webview);  
        WebView wv;  
        wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);  
        wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/aboutcertified.html");   // now it will not fail here
    }  
}

And in general you can use getAssets().open("filename.txt")) To get filea from assets On a side note:please put some code next time that you have triedget

Thanks again Vaibhav , but I don't want java code, I want to load local android assets from an html file on the server. – m0j1 Oct 07 '15 at 15:11
