I am using Android and I have an HTML file which contains some Javascript. However, I am not able to get the Javascript code to execute. What do I need to do in order to run this code? Thanks in advance for any help.

A simple search for the Android documentation provides the following official sources:

Here are few sources that will be surly helpful to you.
