Webview: Cannot Display Local Image On Phone But Displays On Emulator

I have went through all the posts on displaying local images on android phone. I can see the local image on emulator but on phone - 'Webpage not available'. However I can load othe

Solution 1:

Are you by any chance running the code on a phone with API Level < 8 (Android 2.1 and lower) and testing it on an emulator running a more recent version?

file:///android_res/...only works for 2.2+.

Alternatively you can try putting the image in the assets folder and reference it by file:///android_asset/..., which apparently is also supported on devices running older versions. Unfortunately you will lose the ability to automatically load up resources appropriate to the device's screen size and density.
