Re: Local files in browser widget
Thanks Ralph, I did create a 64-bit apk with LC 9.5. I've had a couple of people try my test app. It works on a Pixel 2, and a Moto-something, and my Huawei tablet. So far it only fails on my Pixel. If anyone out there happens to have an (original) Pixel phone and is willing to do a quick test, that'd be great. The apk has a single browser widget with a lot of text, and the test would be to see if you can scroll to the bottom. I'm hoping the problem is my particular setup and not the Pixel model itself.

RE: Local files in browser widget
I was looking at my code that works. I move the file into the documents folder
and do "file:" documents folder&"mydoc.html"

I didn't, but there are no spaces in the file name.
But I've just found something interesting. Devin was right, I don't need any
slashes to read the resources folder in the apk. But I can't use it as a URL in
a browser. I can use it to copy the file from the resources folder to the
documents folder, but it fails if I directly set the URL of the browser widget.
put specialFolderPath("resources") & "/tFolder/tFile" into tSourcePath
answer (there is a file tSourcePath) -> TRUE
set the URL of widget "browser" to ("file:" & tSourcePath) -> file not found
put specialFolderPath("documents") & "/tFolder/" into tDir
if there is no folder tDir then create folder tDir
put tDir & tFile into tLocalPath
put url ("file:" & tSourcePath) into url ("file://" & tLocalPath)
set the URL of widget "browser" to ("file://" & tLocalPath) -> OK
Maybe browsers can't read files inside packages?

J,
I don’t think you need the slashes after file: at all. (“file:” &
specialFolderPath(“resources”) & “/tFolder/tFile.hmtl”) should do it.
Also check case on folder and file names. Case matters in mobile file systems
in my experience.
Thanks Devin, but unfortunately it still doesn't work. Capitalization is
correct (all lower case.) I also tried adding the internet library and tsNet,
even though I don't use those, just to see if they were required. Still no go.
