Question

I was wondering whether one could run a HTML page from the iOS device’s hard drive, using Objective-C only as a view port to the HTML page and having the HTML page be the application’s actual interface. Is this possible to do?

Thanks,

for IOS create a file with the following:

#import "WrapperViewController.h"

@implementation WrapperViewController

- (void) viewDidLoad
{
  NSBundle *bundle   = [NSBundle mainBundle];
  NSString *path     = [bundle bundlePath];
  NSString *fullpath = [NSBundle pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"htm" inDirectory:path];
  [webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL: [NSURL fileURLWithPath:fullPath]]];
}

- (BOOL) shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: (UIInterfaceOrientation) interfaceOrientation
{
  return YES;
}
- (void) didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation: (UIInterfaceOrientation) fromInterfaceOrientation
{
  webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
  WebView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}

- (void) didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
  [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}

- (void) dealloc
{
  [super dealloc];
}
@end

(I got this straight out of the book “HTML5 for IOS and Android: A Beginner’s Guide” [page 388-390])

And this is how you would do it for android.

Hope this helps!
