Android: is loading time of local HTML file into WebView affected by the storage place (internal storage/sdcard/external sd card)?

Question

I made a test activity that loads a local HTML file from external sdcard but I see it can be slow for my purpose. Could I put that file into internal memory to gain in speed? Is loading time affected by the place the HTML file is loaded from?

Answer 1

I believe it's device dependent, based on what kind of memory is used on that specific device. You can use StrictMode to handle performance in a more general way.

That being said, I favor internal storage over external storage in general for speed purposes, especially for an HTML file that won't take up much space.
