The Browser app does not have permission to load a page from the SD
card. You can write an app with a WebView, and give yourself that
permission, but the Browser is built explicitly w/o that right for
security reasons.

I am trying to get a html file stored in my sdcard image on to
webview .
I am doing something like this
myWebView.loadUrl("/sdcard/index.html");
Then I get an error on the webview as "The webpage at file:///sdcard/index.html
could not be loaded as: The requested file was not found."
But I am sure I have "index.html " on my sdcard image and it is
available to the emulator. Because I see it on the File explorer.
I tried myWebView.loadUrl("file:///sdcard/index.html"); as well. Still
the same problem exists.
If I have to use "loadDataWithBaseUrl()", then I think, I need to
convert index.html to a string, which I don't want to.
I could not figure out the problem.
Any one any thoughts?
Thanks.
