But now this doesn't seem to work. Should it be res/drawable/image.png?

And I don't know what you mean by copying the image url. It's a local file. Comments There is no BT_image folder in Android. And I don't know what you mean by copying the image url.

If your html says something like <img src="image.png"> then place it in the same directory (and level) as the HTML file; BT_Docs Resources that are called from within code should be in res/drawable Resources that are called from within an HTML Document should be located 'relative to the HTML document source statement'.

For me, this has always been the case for an html file in your project. The way I work this is to make the html and images work on my desktop with relative paths, then copy the whole lot into my project, into BT_Docs. A bonus for me is that this works equally for IOS and Android projects. Cheers, Alan Comments Hi @Mutzy Could it be your recollection is a bit hazy? I agree with @SmugWimp.

I could have sworn Android was different in that they all went in the Res folder. Oh well... Thanks everyone! Josh Comments Yup, putting the image files in the BT_Docs folder certainly did the trick.
