Hi, i am trying to load an html file which refers an image stored in the sdcard. Actualy the html is provided by a local servlet. in the html, i have this line "<img id="toto" src="file:///sdcard/path/path/ toto.png"/><br>". When i used that, i had this error : " Not allowed to load local resource: file://".
I find out that android does not allow this kind of things for security reasons . So i searched on Internet(see links at the ends) and i saw that i need to create my own ContentProvider to handle the way to access the local files. I did it by creating a LocalContentProvider that extends ContentProvider and i overwrited the method openFile(android.net.Uri uri, java.lang.String mode). Then i modified the androidManifest to add the provider. androidManifest: <provider android:name="LocalContentProvider" android:authorities="com.myCompany.myPackageName" /> LocalContentProvider (stored in com.myCompany.myPackageName): public ParcelFileDescriptor openFile(Uri uri, String mode) throws FileNotFoundException { URI fileURI = URI.create( "file://" + uri.getPath() ); File file = new File( fileURI ); ParcelFileDescriptor parcel=null; try { parcel = ParcelFileDescriptor.open(file, ParcelFileDescriptor.MODE_READ_ONLY); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { Log.d(LOG_TAG,"Error finding: " + fileURI + "\n" + e.toString()); } return parcel; } After theses modifications i tryed with <img id="toto" src="content:// com.myCompany.myPackageName/sdcard/path/path/toto.png"/><br> and i had "Failed to find provider info for com.myCompany.myPackageName" here is my question: How can i change the html to make it access the local files via the contentProvider ? What am i doing wrong ? i' based on theses exemples: http://blog.tourizo.com/2009/02/how-to-display-local-file-in-android.html http://www.techjini.com/blog/2009/01/10/android-tip-1-contentprovider-accessing-local-file-system-from-webview-showing-image-in-webview-using-content/ i' am using Android 1.6 SDK, Release 1 on windows XP. Thank you for your help and i am sorry for my very bad english. Yaya. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
