Best way to get images out of SQLite DB and show them in WebView (Android)

I have a SQLite database with several (small) images that I want to be displayed within a WebView. I am trying to use a contentprovider that caches the images to the filesystem, but I think that this is not a good approach.

Is there a possibility to get the imagedate directly to the webview without caching?

If the images are very small, just have them base64 encoded within the html page you have saved in the SQLite databasse.

<img src="data:image/png;base64,<BASE64 IMG STRING>" />

The browser should be able to decode them on the fly, and then you do not have to take the "save to filesystem-> read from filesystem" round-trip.
