Local links in html

[Gareth Murfin]

So I have decompressed a zip to storage and I am able to view the html pages that I have extracted. However when I click on a link inside these html pages then it doesnt work. The link is a relative one like this: "./../../key-concepts-kanji/empty-component.html", implying you need to go back a few dirs etc first, this works in a web browser on windows but not in cn1.

So my question is what do I do in cn1 to fix this? I presume I need to manipulate that link in the html itself before I set the data to the browser? Any examples around?

Ive noticed that actually clicking the link doesnt even go to not found page, do I need to turn them on somehow ?

This should work if you used file system storage. Is this on the simulator or device?

[Gareth Murfin]

Hi Shai, thanks for the reply, this is on the simulator. And yes I used filesystem storage, I can load html fine from java code but tapping links in BrowserComponent seemingly does nothing, could you try it on a simulator? I can send my project if it helps.

I just tried a simple test case and it worked for me. It's possible that this is due to a fix we made to file: URL handling. How do you load the initial file URL?

Actually thats a good point, I couldnt get it to load properly, so I had to pass html as a string, that could be the issue?

InputStream in;                            

        try 

        {

            in = FileSystemStorage.getInstance().openInputStream(FileSystemStorage.getInstance().getAppHomePath()+path);

            String html = Util.readToString(in);                        

            _("html loaded is ->");

            _("\n"+html);

            //fire up the html in middle 

            browser.setPage(html, FileSystemStorage.getInstance().getAppHomePath());                         

            form.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, browser);     

           

            Button back = new Button("Back");                 

            back.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){

                @Override

                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

                   _("back hit z");

                   createMainForm();//show main form again

                }

            });

            form.add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, back);                 

            form.show();

        } catch (IOException ex) {

            //Logger.getLogger(Outlier.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

            _("WARNING! error loading html "+ex.getMessage());

            ToastBar.showErrorMessage("can't find "+path);

I suppose passing the html loses any info about where the current directory is, i will try loading properly now that it is fixed

[Shai Almog]

Yes, there is no base URL. This should work with the update from yesterday, make sure to update project libs.

[Gareth Murfin]

Yes that now works very well thanks Shai!.. 

[Gareth Murfin]

Links work fine now but I have noticed that even with setUrl images referenced in the page will not display, this same html page works fine in a normal browser on pc and images are displayed.

[Gareth Murfin]

looks like im wrong as usual :) they DO load but not if there are chinese characters in their names, which is weird because if I go directly to view a .svg with chinese characters in its name it does work, but from html it does not, why would this be?

Im wondering if I can somehow convert the chinese into roman alphabet characters when I do the intial extract to storage.

[Shai Almog]

Non-ascii characters might fail here, this might work on the device and might fail on the device. I don't know. This isn't something we tested.
