Am having a problem loading a local file that displays a Google map on the 
Android emulator. LC 8.1.6.

I was also having a problem with local HTML files in general, but got that 
going. Using the same method for a dynamically created map document, located in 
the specialfolderpath("documents") folder doesn't seem to work. See below for 
code that doesn't work followed by code that works.

1. Code that doesn't work is (using a file from the "documents" specialFolder):
---
       put specialFolderPath("documents") & slash & "MAP.html" into tMapFile
        -- tMapFile = /data/data/com.scruffmonkey.echidnaCSI/files/MAP.html   
-- Why is the path /data/data/...  and not /data/app/...  as in the next 
example?
       if the platform contains "android" then
            set the url of widget "myMap" to tMapFile
       else
            put fileConvertToFileURL(tMapFile) into tURL
            set the url of widget "myMap" to (tURL)
       end if
---


2. While code that works is (using a file from the resources folder):
---
      put specialFolderPath("resources") & "/data/fun_facts.html" into tFile
     -- tFile = 
/data/app/com.scruffmonkey.echidnaCSI-2/base.apk/data/fun_facts.html
      if the platform contains "android" then
         set the url of widget "infoscroll" to (tFile)
      else
         put fileConvertToFileURL(tFile) into tURL
         set the url of widget "infoscroll" to (tURL)
      end if
---


Any ideas why there's a difference between the resources and documents 
specialFolderPaths?

Why does the "documents" specialFolderPath here start with /data/data/  and the 
resources one start with /data/app/  ??

I've also tried setting the HTMLText of the widget but that also doesn't seem 
to work.

Help please! :-)

cheers

Alan
