Thank you for your help. So, what is this book you speak of...? I've modified my code according to your suggestions. I've also added a couple other tests to see if I get output. Curious thing is that the only time I see any output on the screen is when I load 'http:// commonsware.com'. None of the other attempts show anything on the screen. No real errors, just nothing shows up, however commonsware.com does show.
btw, here is my main.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:orientation="horizontal"> <WebView android:id="@+id/webView" android:background="#77CC0000" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:focusable="false"/> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle); setContentView(R.layout.main); try { mainPage = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView); mainPage.loadData( "<html><body>Hello World!</body></html>", "text/html", "utf-8"); Thread.sleep(60000); mainPage.loadData( "<html><body><img src=\"file:///android_asset/ Winter.jpg\"></body></html>", "text/html", "utf-8"); Thread.sleep(60000); mainPage.loadData( "<img src=\"file:///android_asset/Winter.jpg\">", "image/jpeg", "utf-8"); Thread.sleep(60000); mainPage.loadUrl("http://commonsware.com";); Thread.sleep(60000); } catch (Exception e) { android.util.Log.e("Exception : ", e.getMessage()); } } On Jun 3, 9:14 am, "Mark Murphy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > what is working for you?
