I’m trying to use the split screen mode to display a local HTML page as a widget.
I have all my documents stored in a common videokiosk folder, and stored my HTML file within the widget subdirectory. I’ve then used the built-in URL widget to browse for that file:
file:///storage/emulated/0/Documents/videokiosk/widget/weather.html
When I test it, I get a ERR_ACCESS_DENIED error and a Webpage Not Available title message.
Any suggestions on how to get around this?
This is a permission error. The solution is to make sure you grant Video Kiosk all permission that are requested when you first launch the App. If you did not do that you should:
- Video Kiosk > Settings > License > Deactivate
- Uninstall Video Kiosk
- Re-install Video Kiosk and open it
- Allow All permission requests
- Select your account
- Activate the license
Which permission(s) are requested varies by Android version. For recent versions of Android be sure to grant all files access.
