Uploading html file for use with Webviewer

MIT App Inventor Help
1

Sorry to be yet another having trouble with this - I have read so many similar but have still to find an answer.
I have uploaded, via the 'media' tab, a simple html file.
I have the Webviewer component, with the home url set to point to this - I have tried both `file:///android_asset/.test.html and file:///mnt/sdcard/AppInventor/assets/test.html - but am still getting a 'file not found' error - in both development with AICompanion, and an installed apk.
Please save my hair and offer a clue, many thanks....
Android version: 13

You need the webviewextra extension to allow uploads / downloads using the webviewer.

thanks for the response - this extension will work with an html file that I have uploaded as a media asset?

Sorry, I misunderstood.

If you want to run an html file, uploaded to your media folder (assets), in your app locally, then you need to use this url:

http://localhost/myfile.html

Ahhh, many thanks for that - setting the url to your suggestion has done the trick. Many thanks!
