Question

How can I load a HTML from the local file system?

I have seen many questions like this but they are all referring to a file that is within a bundle. I would like to load from a path such as/Users/Abs/Documents/ – I think the ios simulator has access to this as I can save files to my local /Users/Abs/Documents/ directory.

But I don’t know how to load a HTML file to the UIWebView.

How can I edit the below to achieve this:

[web loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index.html" ofType @"html"]isDirectory:NO]]];

Answer 1

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"/Users/Abs/Documents/index.html"];
NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[web loadRequest:req];

Note that this is only useful when working in the simulator, because apps on a device are sandboxed and can only get to files in their bundle.
