Webview path error

[jose_coimbras (José Coimbras)]

Hi.

Until some time ago everithing worked fine.
In webview i load a Index.html with the path
file:///mnt/sdcard/AppInventor/assets/
but now when testing with companion give the error net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

When in production the path
file:///android_asset/
Works fine.

Any idea?

Thanks.

This is not implemented as of yet in Kodular. It’s on my radar

Get the path of → ASD (app-specific dir) & → private data dir (internal storage)

Here is a small extension to get the ASD (path of app specific directory) which is becoming more and more important on Android 10+ and the private data dir (→ internal storage): Updated: 26 Feb 2022: GetASD_API.aix (5.3 KB) [grafik] The reason why I now added the privateDir will soon become clear when I show you how to store any kind of files in → internal storage (and not just text files like the File component does). I think this is a milestone (at least for me): I am very happy that th…

Get the API Level of the device

But you can also use this:

Hi, thanks for reply.
So, there is no inmediate solution without install an extension?
Well install an extension just for test porposes … if there is no other way, i will try it.

By now, why the icon works if is an asset also?

Thanks.

Now the file name/path is so chaos and confusing,

In File component, the path is like this:
aa.txt for private dir, //aa.txt for assets, /aa.txt for from sdcard,
(May be we can add a ‘#/aa.txt’ for ASD later)
This is good for users, but for Web component:

(photo taken from Anke’s post)

Why the user have to check if it’s in companion or sdkVersion? all theses checking should be done inside the component. and the user only need to give the url a string like “//index.html” for loading html from asset.

Kodular staff, please make the Web (and other components need to read/write) using the same phylosophy with File component.

This suggestion is also for the extension developers.

This change will land with the next update when available

Implement a universal URL format for assets in WebViewer

You can now use http://localhost/ prefix to access any file in assets on both compiled app and companion.
