Sorry Joshua I forgot to say that I tested out loading the local page while device is online, and exactly the same thing happens.

We’re not able to reproduce the issue that you guys are seeing. So, the next step is to send us a project which can reproduce this issue. You can do so by clicking the “Report a Bug” link at the top of this web page. Also, make sure to indicate the Corona build number you are using, if this is only happening to you with Corona Enterprise (is this true?), and the Android device model this is happening on. Thanks!

Ok, we have dropped using the cached webview while offline for now, as we simply don’t have the time to wait for the fix.

If things calm down a bit then I will try to create a test project and submit it, but if anyone else is able to do the same before then it would be appreciated.

yeah, unfortunately I’m in the same boat as Alan – I need the bug fixed, but I don’t have the two hours to make a whole new enterprise project, make sure it runs on device, and upload it, just to show that indeed it doesn’t work. (Thats really the biggest challenge with the current “submit a bug” system – it puts a huge amount of work on the developer, which works for developers that are paid a salary, but not so much for small indie teams.)

I just have the same issue when I load a html from system.ResourceDirectory with webview compiled by enterprise 2015.2574

What’s wrong?

Joshua\_Quick:

If you’re developing with Corona Enterprise, then you need to double check your AndroidManifest.xml file and make sure that it’s “FileContentProvider” is using your app’s package name. This is because Corona uses a “content://” URL to access web related files from your app’s “ResourceDirectory”, which can be located under your Android app project’s “assets” directory or within an expansion file. It should look something like this…
\<provider android:name="com.ansca.corona.storage.FileContentProvider" android:authorities="\<Your.Package.Name\>.files" android:exported="true"/\>
That is, the above element is already in your AndroidManifest.xml, you just need to replace the <Your.Package.Name> with what your app uses. The exported part does not have to be “true” to display your own internal web pages, but it does need to be true if you’re attaching files mail or using system.openURL() to open files belonging to your app.

I ran into the no-image-loading bug for local HTML content in the resource directory before. But I can confirm using daily build 2015.2574 (Corona SDK, not Enterprise) it works fine for me. Both images and HTML text.
