Is it possible to call or access HTML file which exists in another apk ?
example:
lets assume one.apk has index.html in its assest folder
is it possible to access the index.html in another web view ?
or is there any workaround for this problem ?
On current android devices, .apk files (at least those under /data and /system) are world readable. The /data directory is not listable, so you need the full and specific path of an apk to access it. Currently this can be found in /data/system/packages.xml
If you want to access it with a web view, you will probably first have to track it down and extract your own copy from the apk, by treating it as a zip file, then point your webview at that.
Of course this is not official functionality – it could go away, so best not to rely on it. The more important point is you must not rely on someone not doing this to your apk, because they actually can.
