I am developing an android application, that should open html 5 file when it launches. What I did was

I saved the complete html application under android Assets folder.

I am not able to run the html file in the external browser using the path of assets folder directly, Following is the code I used


An exception is thrown.




So now I want to send this folder to phone’s internal memory and From there I want to run it.

Qn 1. How can I send a file into phone memory?

Qn 2. And can I run that html file from phone memory?

Is it possible to do so??

Hi shailaja,

Here is some code I'm using to copy from assests to sdcard. Maybe it will help. Might need a little modification to work in the /data/data/package folder.

Code: Select all

    String dataPath = "/sdcard";

    private void copyFromAssets(String fromFile, String toFile) { //if toFile empty this will
         InputStream ips;                                          //make it same as fromFile
         String toTemp = toFile;
         if (toTemp.length() == 0) toTemp = fromFile;
      try {
         ips = this.getAssets().open(fromFile);

             String outFileName = dataPath + "/" + toTemp;
             OutputStream ops = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);
             byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
             int length;
             while ((length = ips.read(buffer))>0){
                ops.write(buffer, 0, length);
                 }//while
             ops.flush();
             ops.close();
             ips.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
             // TODO Auto-generated catch block
             e.printStackTrace();
              }//catched
          }//copy from assets
