This option doesnotwork anymore, sorry for the confusion!

So the only way to load local file contents into WebView, is as Gil pointed out ...by loading the contents with loadData()/

Sample code:  static final int MAXFILESIZE = 8096;  String path = uri.getPath();         File f = new File(path);         final long length = f.length();         if (!f.exists() || length > MAXFILESIZE) {             return;         }

        // typecast to int is safe as long as MAXFILESIZE < MAXINT         byte[] array = new byte[(int)length];

        try {             InputStream is = new FileInputStream(f);             is.read(array);             is.close();         } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {             // Checked for file existance already, so this shouldnot happen             return;         } catch (IOException ex) {             // read or close failed             Log.e(LOGTAG, "Failed to access file: " + path, ex);             return;         }         mWebView.loadData(new String(array), mimeType, null);

There is a 8KB limit on the file size. So if your data is more that 8KB, you should create a content provider for your files and then the use the ContentResolver.openContentURI()...
