Android webview for local html, local images

[ewindso]

If I create a webview using a local html file (say "page.html") and within page.html I reference images locally (), it won't display / find the image. However, if I run on device (outside of TiShadow) it finds it OK.

Btw -- are you going to the CODESTRONG? Be great to say "hi" and talk about where you're going with TiShadow. I feel next to Titanium it's the best thing for mobile dev.

Great to hear you are going, look forward to meeting you and seeing you there as well.

@ewindso html files are currently not rewritten for TiShadow. If you can put together a quick sample app for me I will try an make it work. I am speaking at codestrong so I might look at it on the flight. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Thanks man -- no worries, I'll just wait 'til I see you speak man. Have a good flight!

I found a little bit of time to look at this. Here are the steps to make it work (sort of), if you are referencing local files (images, pictures, etc):

• Use a relative path to asset and javascript source files and not slash leading. E.g. use images/icon.png and not /images/icon.png
• javascript files referenced by the webview should be renamed so they don't end with .js. (You will need to do this anyway when you want to make a production build due to the Titanium's compilation process.) For example just change the extension to .jsf

I've only tested against and iOS Simulator (which works) and Android device (which doesn't).

Thanks - the .jsf extension solved the problem I was having loading local JS files into an HTML page within a WebView.

excuse me.. I tried .jsf extension solution, but can't solve the problem on android TiShadow.. my PC's OS is windows 7( so now android only) device install works right on .js and .jsf extention. please tell me specific advice.

for example my test source directory.

index.html >>>

map.jsf >>>

do I have a misunderstanding??

[dbankier]

@segamail you would need to change the script tag to point to the file, but I don't think it works on Android anyway. I think there is an issue with relative paths (to ApplicationDataDirectory) in the Ti SDK. I will need to look into (eventually).

[segamail]

thanks reply. humm.. i also will try other ways.

Is there any new about this issue?

[dbankier]

sorry @yomybaby, haven't looked at it any further (yet). See my comment above for iOS.

thanks for your work @dbankier ; is there any update on the Android issue?
