You might be able to use permissions to manage this, but I'm not sure. Or, if you unpack some or all of your ZIP file, you can use relative paths in the HTML to reference the images and CSS, and use loadDataWithBaseURL() and a fake base URL (e.g., fake://i/get/really/tired/of/typing/these/in) to load it, thereby skipping the ContentProvider outright. > b) files: The ContentProvider's openFile() method returns a > ParcelFileDescriptor, which can only be created from a Socket or a > File.

If you don't want to unpack the whole ZIP file, unpack only those pieces you need, as you need them. Create yourself a cache directory, unpack them there, and clean it up periodically. > This seems like an obvious problem, so I hope there is some obvious > problem I'm missing.

I suspect that the most-frequently-used patterns for Web browsing components are to display either network-served content or regular local files. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
