Hi,

I'm having no luck opening an html file in the data directory. Everything works fine with web urls. I've looked, and the file is definitely there in the build directory.

I've tried:

OpenUrl "docs/instructions.html"
OpenUrl "monkey://data/docs/instructions.html"
OpenUrl "file://docs/instructions.html"

(... though I realize that last one probably needs an absolute path )

I've been mostly testing on the desktop target, but android is needed too. Is this just not possible?

For the Desktop it's easy enough to do. But the other targets are another matter.

Import mojo
Import os

#TEXT_FILES="*.txt|*.xml|*.json|*.html"
Function Main:Int()
	OpenUrl "file:///" + CurrentDir().Replace("\\", "/") + "/data/instructions.html"
	Return 0
End Function

Test this code
OpenUrl(PathToFilePath("monkey://data/Index.htm"))
