I want to create a set of screens that will have some intro text, a picture and a 'read more' link to full article. I have used Custom HTML with a photo and 'read more' html file hosted on my server but i would like them to be actually included in the application rather than being downloaded from the internet. Is there any way of including them in the project so that they are available offline? at the moment its simply: <body> <img src=http://example.com/sample.jpg> <p>intro text</p> <a href=http://example.com/sample.html>read more</a> </body> Is there a way to get the same result without the need to be online? Thanks a lot in advance, mike Title Comments Hello, I am new to buzztouch (great job by the way!!) and having trouble with my application (forced to use 1.4 as the app is for Android).

We're working hard on v1.5 for Android but it's not available yet. We have not release date scheduled for v1.5 for Android (adding this so you don't have to ask ;-) Have you done any digging around online to try to get this working? I'm asking because it doesn't sound terribly difficult. Maybe do a Google Search to see how to load 'embedded hmtl' or 'local html.' Probably a matter of dragging the HTML into the project, the images in to the drawable directory, then setting a different 'home screen' (Android calls screens Activities) in the manifest.xml Comments Hi in Birmingham.

icedbreeze I hate code! Posts: 123 Reg: Nov 09, 2010 London 1,230	04/07/11 04:40 AM (14 years ago) I do a similar task in my custom HTML pages, If its helpful Ive posted the HTML code I use, It basically allows you to open and close as much info as you need on a single page. You will just have to change where the text goes and obviously the font, colour etc... and replace '%' with the correct '<' and '>' ... (Not sure how to paste HTML properly :/ ) %div onclick=openClose('a1') style=cursor:hand; cursor:pointer%%span class=White%%font face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif%YOUR TEXT GOES HERE%em class=hmmok% **(Click for More)%/em%%%/font%%/span%%/div% %p% %/p% %div id=a1 class=texter% %font face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif% %p% %/p%%p%* AND THE REST OF YOUR TEXT/IMAGES GO HERE *** %br%%br% %/p%%/font%%/div%%font face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif% Like I said, not sure if this is what your after but it might be useful.
