Can't navigate in React Native Webview if using local html file

[ZeeshanAhmadKhalil]

I followed this answer to open my index.html file inside webview. It successfully opens and js is working as well.

But now the problem for me is that whenever I click on a link inside this index.html file to go to another html file for example <a href="./html/create_login.html">Go to main app</a> then it is trying to open that html file in PDF instead of opening it in webview.

My file structure inside the assets folder is;

React Native version:

• "react": "16.9.0",
• "react-native": "0.61.5",
• "react-native-webview": "^7.5.2"
• Android 6.0 (physical device)

System:
OS: Windows 10 10.0.18362
CPU: (4) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) M-5Y10c CPU @ 0.80GHz
Memory: 733.90 MB / 3.92 GB
Binaries:
Node: 12.13.1 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.EXE
Yarn: 1.19.1 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin\yarn.CMD
npm: 6.13.0 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD
IDEs:
Android Studio: Version 3.5.0.0 AI-191.8026.42.35.5977832
npmPackages:
react: 16.9.0 => 16.9.0
react-native: 0.61.5 => 0.61.5

Steps To Reproduce

1. Put html, CSS and js files in the assets folder inside android\app\src\main
2. Install and import {WebView} inside App.js
3. Use <WebView source={{uri: 'file:///android_asset/index.html'}} />
4. Whenever you click on a link like inside index.html file it will try to open Html file referred inside the link in PDF instead of webview
