    inside the asset directory.

    WebView mywebview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);


    mywebview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/myresource.html");

    Let's see another code to display HTML code of a string.

    String data = "<html><body><h1>Hello, Javatpoint!</h1></body></html>";


    mywebview.loadData(data, "text/html", "UTF-8");

    Complete Android WebView Example


    Let's see a complete example of Android WebView.

    activity_main.xml

    File: activity_main.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


    <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/andr
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="example.javatpoint.com.webview.MainActivity">

    <WebView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/webView"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

    To add the web page (.html, .jsp) locally in application, they are required to place in the assets folder. An
    assets folder is created as: right click on app -> New -> Folder -> Assets Folder ->main or simply create an
    assets directory inside main directory.

    Activity class

    File: MainActivity.java

    package example.javatpoint.com.webview;

    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.webkit.WebView;

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    WebView mywebview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView);
    // mywebview.loadUrl("https://www.javatpoint.com/");
