I'm trying to load a html page from the assets directory. I tried this, but it fails.
public class ViewWeb extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
WebView wv;
wv = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/aboutcertified.html"); // fails here
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
}
}
I don't really get any telling errors in LogCat...
You are getting the WebView before setting the Content view so the wv is probably null.
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
}
}
Whenever you are creating activity, you must add setcontentview
(your layout) after super call. Because setcontentview
bind xml into your activity so that's the reason you are getting nullpointerexception
.
setContentView(R.layout.webview);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
wv.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/xyz.html");
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
WebView wb = new WebView(this);
wb.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/index.htm");
setContentView(wb);
}
keep your .html in `asset` folder
