Link to resources inside WebView - iPhone

Question

I have a webview in my iPhone application, and I also have some html files inside my Resources folder. When my app loads, I load in a page from my resources into my webview.

Answer 1

Maybe it does have something to do with the baseurl: when I load the resources, I use this line:

[webView loadData:htmlData MIMEType:@"text/html" textEncodingName:@"UTF-8" baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@""]];

see at the end, it says baseURL: "". If I take this out, it doesn't work (crashes), but I don't know the path to my resources. If somebody does.....?

Answer 2

Try loading OtherPage.html first. If you can't then it's not there, and you've missed some part of adding it to the project. If you can, then there may just be a typo in the link, or the baseURL could be incorrect, as stated by August. When I created an html file with images in it that were in the resource file, it worked fine just using

<img src="file.png">

Answer 3

Take a look at how Phonegap does it. Here's their tutorial on local resources on the iPhone. Step 11 might be what you're neglecting.

Answer 4

I fixed it: I used this for the BaseURL like August said:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

Thank you!
