You should be able to point the browser at the file you want with a URL of the format file:///path/to/file.html.

If your file is at /mnt/sdcard/test/file.html you can access it through the browser from using: content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/test/file.html Note: Your file location should not contain any spaces i.e. /mnt/sdcard/test location/file.html doesn't work, even if the URL replaces it with %20.

Sure. First find a text editor that you like, then launch the editor and open the HTML file. Many editors will also show up as an option in the launch menu for HTML files if you open them from a file browser, so you may be able to just find your HTML file in your file browser and select your text editor when you open it. Edit: Per your comments, if you're ...

I don't know much about Eclipse. But for your goal, it all depends on how the external stylesheets are defined.

If they are using a relative path (easiest: just their file name, residing in the same directory as the HTML file), you ...

On my Droid 4 (ICS) from VERIZON I get the browser's address box and type: /mnt/sdcard-ext/my_page/index.html Then set it as a bookmark. I use Chrome, not sure if I can set it as a home page like on my PC. This is on my SD card in a folder with lotsa pix.
