Okay, I think I got it resolved. The issue with exporting for Cordova and then using XDK is that the generated .apk gets too large; about 30mb. For those interested, here is what I did:

1. Export for Amazon - select option to run on own server

2. Created a simple Android app that basically has a webview and loads index.html as shown below. Built the .apk and instead of a .30mb .apk, I now have 5mb .apk for my sample app:

webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

webView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccessFromFileURLs(true);

webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset//index.html");

Well, I have created a simple android app. In the assets folder. In the assets folder, I have dropped-in all the c2 html5 exported files. Next, for my webview, I have enabled javascript and set the setWebChromeClient and the setWebViewClient. When I try to run the app, I get a message that says: "Exported games won't work until you upload them. (When on the file:/// protocol, browsers block many features from working for security reasons.).

Above also happens when I directly run that from a computer.

I just want to disable this default behaviour.

Hi, When c2 project html5 is exported, I'm not able to run it locally because c2 [1] checks for file:/// protocol and won't allow run. How can I disable this behaviour?

Please take a look at my html5 JunglePerformer here: http://3nportal.com/temp/jp

I wrapped that into Android webview (.apk here: http://3nportal.com/temp/jp/jp.apk ) yielding much smaller .apk

The two boxes on top left/right are for touch/mouse buttons (I was lazy and didn't add in images).

However, as you notice, on Android performance is slow because its communicating with files over the net.

This is why I wanted to wrap the files locally into .apk

> I tried to create a simple Android app that uses WebView to load local file; c2 index.html. My thinking is to use this approach to load the html5 c2 exported app using WebView. A WebView can load a local file using file:/// protocol. However, c2 checks to see if protocol is file:/// and it will show error message. Is there anyway to overwrite this default behaviour?

AndreasR, Thanks for your reply. I'm looking for alternative approaches. The problem with cordova, xdk crosswalk is that it makes the .apk huge (+20mb). Does anyone know how to get an Android WebView work with c2 exported html5 output? As stated previously, since protocol is file:/// c2 will not start-up the app

Hi, I'm new to c2. Just tried a tutorial. For export, I don't see Android (.apk) option. How can I create a .apk for publishing to such stores as Google Play Store?

Thanks
