Question

I have saved an html page using the following line of code :

NSURL *yoyoyo = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"www.google.com"];
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:yoyoyo]; 
NSString *html = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; 
NSString *documentsDirectory = @"/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/";
NSLog(@"%@", documentsDirectory);
NSString *htmlFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"file.html"];
[html writeToFile:htmlFilePath atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];

The file named as gets saved as “file.html” folder in the path mentioned i.e. documentsDirectory. Is there a way that I can open this file in safari or webView of my application ?? Thanks and Regards.

Answer 1

to load it in your web view, do the following

NSString *htmlFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"file.html"];
NSString *htmlContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:htmlFilePath
                                                   encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding 
                                                      error:NULL];
[webView loadHTMLString:htmlContents baseURL:nil];

You also have an issue in getting documentDir

Instead of

NSString *documentsDirectory = @"/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/";

use

NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"];

Save the file again and try to load using the above code
