So long as you use content:// URLs for the images and other assets being served from the ContentProvider, I would expect it to "just work". I have an app that works in the reverse direction (local HTML, remote images) and that works fine so long as I fully-qualify the image URLs. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
