Ionic ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND(file:///android_asset/www/index.html)

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

There is a problem in understanding

I have the next:

global packages:

  • @ionic/cli-utils : 1.1.2
  • Cordova CLI : 7.0.1
  • Ionic CLI : 3.1.2

local packages:

  • @ionic/app-scripts : 1.3.7
  • @ionic/cli-plugin-cordova : 1.2.0
  • @ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular : 1.2.0
  • Cordova Platforms : android 6.2.3
  • Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.2.1

System:

  • Node : v6.10.2
  • OS : OS X El Capitan
  • Xcode : not installed
  • ios-deploy : not installed
  • ios-sim : not installed

Here are my steps:

ionic start myApp tabs

cd myApp

cordova add platforme android

cordova run android

and I have the error:
ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND(file:///android_asset/www/index.html) in the emulator

Everything worked well before I installed the plugin

$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-nativestorage

end $ npm install --save @ionic-native/native-storage

But I added
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
into AndroidManifest.xml and it worked!!!

Why it worked without that line before?

Thanks all

Try using Ionic commands:
ionic cordova platform add android
ionic cordova run android

This should build your app before running the Cordova stuff.

Thank you :slight_smile: )
instead cordova add platform android --> cordova platform add android
but ionic cordova run android works great!

Does this also happen with a newly created project?
If yes, please post your ionic info output.

This is all “old”, newer more stable versions available. You should upgrade.

Still not the newest version.

For debugging the white screen:
Did you remote debug the problem on the device already? Follow these instructions here to debug the problem in Chrome dev tools: Remote Debug your Ionic App · ionic.zone Look at the console and network tabs for errors.

add this in your config.xml

<preference name="loadUrlTimeoutValue" value="700000" />
