How to give path in Android

[jasonalien]

I'm trying to display gif images on Android. This is my code to display a.gif :

    WebView wView = new WebView(this);
    wView.loadUrl("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.drawable.a);
    setContentView(wView);

But I get this : The webpage at android.resource://com.example.mypc.myapp/2497475928917 could not be loaded because : net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME My gif files are in drawable and raw folder under res folder. Can you tell me how to give paths of gifs correctly? Thanks in advance.

Animated GIF, or just a single image? Lots of suggestions here.

This should probably be:

wView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/a.gif");

just drag and drop file in assets folder and add the upper commented path

myVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.introvideo));
