Question

This is my code:

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSString *indexPath = [NSBundle pathForResource:@"iHelp" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:nil];
    [webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:indexPath]]];
}

The app is crashing because ‘nil’ for directory name is invalid (DUH!). So for an imbedded html file, what should go there?

UPDATE: found that “webView” has no outlet, although one is defined in the .h file… will close this because I believe there is an answer here. Will open a new question re: the outlets… thanks everybody!

Answer 1

If the file iHelp is in the main bundle, you can retrieve its path like this:

NSString *indexPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"iHelp" ofType:@"html"];
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:indexPath]]];

You can also do that like the following:

NSURL *indexURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"iHelp" withExtension:@"html"];
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:indexURL]];
