How do I view HTML files from local storage?

[CenturionFive]

I would like to be able to view .html files that are stored on local storage. I can open them in view mode within an android html editor, but I would rather tap on them in a file manager and have them open in Dolphin or even the default web browser. Is this possible?

I am using a rooted Acer Iconia, so its OS is Honeycomb.

Use a file explorer, find the file, then open. For example, mine is file://sdcard/html/links.html
Html is a directory on the sdcard.

I have tried that but for some reason it is not associated with a browser

I created a directory under sdcard named Html. I then created a html file named links.html.

Next i opened the browser. In the URL I typed
file://sdcard/html/links.html
and it opened. What are you runing?

I am running Cm 7 nightly build on a Viewsonic Gtablet.

For this purpose, you can't beat Opera mobile. It's the only browser I've found that is able to open pages with a named tag (i.e.: file://sdcard/foo/bar.html#tagname).

There is no uniform way to couple html files to a browser BTW. If your file explorer is able to make the connection html <-> browser, that is a feature of that specific file explorer.

I tried opening a local file with Opera by typing file:///mnt/sdcard/Documents/blabla.html. Opera changed the adress in file://localhost/mnt/Documents... Using the localhost syntax on the android browser opened the local file.

I am a java barcode learner.I'm new to Android development.I want to load a html file into a webview.
Note that there are so many relevant questions on SO like this, but they all deal with getting *.html from assets folder.
But I want to load html file from local folder, say "D://abc.html" because if my html is around 10Mb then corresponding apk size also goes upto 10mb.
Any help appreciated.
