Not sure what you mean by "local website" but this works for launching the browser... you can make the argument to Uri.parse whatever you want (including an IP like 10.0.1.1 or whatever):

import android.content.Intent;

import android.net.Uri;

void setup()

{

size(480,800);

fill(255);

}

void draw()

{

background(0);

rect(50,100, 200,50);

if(mousePressed && mouseX > 50 && mouseX < 250 && mouseY > 100 && mouseY < 150)

{

Intent launch = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://google.com"));

startActivity(launch);

}

Local website is open a .htm file from data sketch

For example: link("index.htm"); of course the index.htm in ..data/ but this example not work...

Oh, I understand. I guess the general version of the question is, "Where do the contents of the data folder end up?"

Preliminary investigation using this.getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo to look at the dataDir for the application doesn't seem helpful. That is, I do not believe the files end up anywhere around /data/data/processing.android.test.<sketch_name>/

So another way to state this is, "How can I access files that were in the assets folder at compile time?" I suspect AssetManager or Resources might be part of the answer. Let me know if you figure it out!

No benchun,

the questuon is not the dataptath.

In Android processing for to acess to the ful path to the data dir you can use the dataPath() function.

Then the last example with this function is link(dataPath("index.htm")); but the Android processing includes by defect the data path and no need use it

The problem is how to open a local file with the Android browser, it is theoretically possible, but I do not know how...
