Some help needed, please:

I have an NSData ready with bytes (it’s an RTF formatted text).

I’d like to be able to load the said NSData into a UIWebView without having to create a binary file first, so in other words without having to do this:

[UIWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"rtf"]isDirectory:NO]]]; }

I need to call this many times, so I’d like to avoid saving NSData into a binary file every time. Thank you.

    Use loadData:MIMEType:textEncodingName:baseURL:

    [webView loadData:data MIMEType:@"application/rtf" textEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding baseURL:someURL];

    You generally need to provide some kind of URL as the baseURL, but it doesn’t deeply matter what you use if there are no relative links. (See loadHTMLString baseURL:nil not working in iOS5 for more discussion on that.)
