Probably possible, but the fact that android requires such workarounds seems unbelievably stupid.

To test HTML in my local network I just set up a tiny server in Python. You can then access it from your terminal/mobile/PC.
The server script can be found all over the Internet. The code is:
import os
from http.server import HTTPServer, CGIHTTPRequestHandler
os.chdir('D:\serverfolder')
server_object = HTTPServer(server_address=('',8080),RequestHandlerClass=CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
server_object.serve_forever()
Then put your HTML in the folder of your choice mentioned on the os.chdir line, and connect from the browser to your IP address, e.g. http://192.168.1.72:8080/webpagename.html
The nice thing is that it really does test the HTML and file links to local OS folders, etc. doesn't get in the way.
http only so insecure and only to be used locally but, adequate for testing and accessible from anywhere on your local network.

Thanks for the reply. I've already solved it with a server on the phone, but maybe someone comes across this some day and finds it helpful! I must also admit that I haven't played with Python, but I'll keep it in mind in the future.

I remember in a Robotics course, two students had used a so-called 3D Rotation Matrix as [1 1 1; 1 1 1; 1 1 1]. When asked by my Prof whether they had copied from each other, the vehemently said No. But when asked how could the use the same erroneous Rotation Matrix, they had to admit one copied from the other.
Learning: If you copy from someone, at least make sure the solution is correct.
Addendum: A proper 3D Rotation Matrix has to satisfy several properties including the one where the cross product of the first two columns should be the third column, and so on. Further the magnitude of each column should be 1.

I had the same thing marking OU assignments many years ago.
I had about 20 papers to mark and at one point thought I'd incorrectly put one in the wrong pile as I was sure I'd seen it before (it had a few unique errors that stood out). I also did my marking in the pub, but that's another story...
So, two almost identical papers. After being reported they claimed they didn't know each other, despite sitting beside each other at every tutorial. They were told there were 60 marks available for the joint paper and would they care to let us know how the wished the marks proportioned between them. They stuck to their story and got 30 marks each, along with a final warning.

Good but the methodology is flawed because the question and answer were posted before the exam.
Someone may stumble upon that particular question and answer, not understand the reasoning and committing it to memory - sadly in Engineering I met a lot of students that studied old exams verbatim and managed to get passing votes because there are only so many questions you can ask in ever reducing exam durations.

In the exact subjects, just change the numbers a bit and you have a brand-new question.
Of course, then the instructor would have to solve the new question, rather than using the crib sheet handed down from previous instructors. That might cut into his/her/its research time.

Most of those students were clever enough to remember the steps to solve the problem and fix the numbers, but without understanding neither the problem nor why the solution was what it was. Sometimes they were grossly ed because a single change in the parameters would completely change the category of problem, you caould smell something like that happening by the smile on the face of the professor when handing the exam papers.
Also copying from other students was discouraged giving alternating versions of the exam questions, in some cases up to 27 different versions so that every student was surrounded by 2 rows of different sheets, and during exams usually seats where spaced with an empty seat in all four directions.

Most of our exams were not multiple choice, but lazy professors would simply check the final number without bothering to actually examine the answer, and sometimes they failed in that too and had to be corrected by a horde of enraged students.

IOW, they were like many of the "Send codez please" crowd in QA.

Again, like many of the people in QA.

And yet, they still try to cheat.

Me too, just work past papers until you can figure out the style of question and then waffle...

Wait, people were allowed to go to the bathroom during the exam and used their phone from there?
Never mind the phone, back in my day, you weren't allowed to leave a 3-hour exam to go to the bathroom.

Yeah but back in those days I could guarantee lasting three hours between pees.

For 3 hour plus exams we were allowed two drinks (sealed containers) and snacks (sealed containers) also there was mascots allowed on the desk (one student in Control Systems Engineering desk was buried by small bears(!))

I suppose that's how things start. Why? Emotional support?
Watch people bringing in their pets now.
Scratch that. I'm certain it's already been done. I don't look to google it.

I was about to say the same thing.
We we're allowed a bathroom break, but only one person at a time and no phones
It seems this cheating could've been fixed a lot more easy...
