It is good to place all file assets files in the assets folder. So Add your HTML file to the assets folder and load webview with below code.

webview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/privacy_policy.html");

Or if you don't want to move the file from that "sampledata" folder, then use below code.

webview.loadUrl("file:///sampledata/privacy_policy.html");

I had the same problem, I found this answer here: https://inneka.com/programming/android/loading-html-file-to-webview-on-android-from-assets-folder-using-android-studio-2/

try {
    AssetManager assetManager = this.getAssets();
    InputStream stream = assetManager.open("editor.html");
    BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
    StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
    String line;
    while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
        total.append(line).append("\n");
    }
    webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, total.toString(), "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
} catch (Exception xxx) {
