Compiling app with web data included for offline use

Question

I wonder if it's possible to compile an android app with web data already included in apk for offline use. Application downloads data (HTML), saves on device(HTML and images separately) and displays it in webview, but I wonder if it's possible to compile this app with all data and pictures already in device.

Answer 1

WebView mWebView=(WebView)findViewById(R.id.mWebView);

            mWebView.loadUrl("file:///book.html");
            mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
            mWebView.getSettings().setSaveFormData(true);
            mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
            mWebView.setWebViewClient(new MyWebViewClient());

private class MyWebViewClient extends WebViewClient 
{ 
    @Override 
    //show the web page in webview but not in web browser
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) { 
        view.loadUrl (url); 
        return true;
    }
}
