make sure your slashes are all correct. on iOS and desktop  are forgiving with 
double// in URLs; but android is not.. .this bit me many times

file:/somepath/somefile.html

works

file://somepath/somefile.html  

doesn't  

So If you have path setters here and there, one needs to follow some 
convention, either leave folder string *always* with no closing slash and all 
appended url strings begin with a slash.. I started that way but this was 
always confusing to me because on web / means "from DOCROOT"   so slowly I am 
refactoring all these to

function path_Assets
    return specialFolderPath("documents") & "/assets/" 
end path_Assets

then in any module we use 

play sound (path_Assets() & "bells-whistles/ding.mp3")  because this is 
"relative" # very subjective..

So what started failing on Android --  really hard to debug!

where instances of 

play sound (path_Assets() & "/bells-whistles/ding.mp3") 

because these would work on Mac desktop and only fail on Android so you are 
beating your head "what is wrong."
