Hey El_Auls, you should make you question clearer... By providing more details showing how you tried to load it into your webview and failed — Fenn-CS, Sep 11 '16 at 00:06

what is lu?, should it be a comma instead of +?

In any case, the method loadDataWithBaseURL takes 5 arguments:

base, data, mimetype, encoding, historyUrl

E.g:

wbHelp.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/", 
readAssetFileAsString("index.html"), 
"text/html", 
"UTF-8", 
null);

readAssetFileAsString is as follows:

private String readAssetFileAsString(String sourceHtmlLocation)
{
    InputStream is;
    try
    {
        is = getContext().getAssets().open(sourceHtmlLocation);
        int size = is.available();

        byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
        is.read(buffer);
        is.close();

        return new String(buffer, "UTF-8");
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return "";
}

Shouldn't the `is.close()` statement be placed inside a `finally` block? (initialising `is` to `null` before the `try` block) — Aldan Creo, Dec 19 '21 at 20:11
