Make sure you have permissions granted before:

   var permissions = ['android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE'];
   
   Ti.Android.requestPermissions(permissions, function(e) {
       if (e.success) {
           Ti.API.info("SUCCESS");
       } else {
           Ti.API.info("ERROR: " + e.error);
       }
   });

Hi Hans, I am facing this issue on android OS 4.4.2. device Yes the app have read-write permission. I am able to write the html file into external storage and also able to point (read) that page (index.html) into webview successfully. the page is displayed fine but on click the audio control the audio is not playing. and it display error on Applelerator studio logs window as I mentioned in description.

The error indicates an invalid URL then. Make sure you are passing the correct one to the webView. Support will be able to get further infos here.

yes, as the html file and audio file both present in *same directory(AudioFiles)* so for src simply filename should work but it's not working out. I have also tried nativePath as well but that is also not work out

   <audio controls="controls" id="audioPlayer1" preload="none" title="About audio">
   	<source id="source1" src="time_to_go.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></source>
   </audio>
   <audio controls="controls" id="audioPlayer3" preload="none" title="About audio">
   		<source id="source3" src="file:///storage/emulated/0/com.example.audiovideodemo/AudioFiles/time_to_go.ogg" type="audio/ogg"></source>
   </audio>

here localPath >>> file:///storage/emulated/0/com.example.audiovideodemo/AudioFiles
