I am trying to load a UIWebVIew from within my storyboard but I am getting a SIGABRT error on this line of code:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_show" ofType:nil]];
You need to use this instead:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_show"]
The pathForResource method is used to get the path to local files.

I’m using the code below to display pdfs or filename.doc Microsoft Word documents. It works fine when I use a ofType:#:”pdf”, but my code crashes when I use ofType:#:”doc” or ofType:#:”docx”. The Word document is mostly text and a few url links. Any help appreciated.
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"C9" ofType:#"doc"];
pdfUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];}
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:pdfUrl]];
As per your code, it looks like you're already using a UIWebView.
Here is some code I've used in the past.
-(void)loadDocument:(NSString*)documentName inView:(UIWebView*)webView {
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:documentName ofType:nil];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
}
In viewDidLoad (change webView frame to whatever you need)..
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 200, 200)];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
[self loadDocument:#"file.doc" inView:webView];
Take a look at using QLPreviewController to display these document types.
For the crash, are you sure the file exists at the specified location? Check it's actually being copied to the bundle and that there is a file at that path / URL before you use it.
I use this line of code to load a local html file into a web view:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"index" ofType:#"html" inDirectory:#"html"]];
However I want to add some http parameters to the url with no luck so far.
I've tried this:
url = [url URLByAppendingPathComponent:#"?param1=1"];
But after this a html doesn't load in webview.
Is there a way to load local html file in webview with params ?
Do this:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"index" ofType:#"html" inDirectory:#"html"]];
NSString *URLString = [url absoluteString];
NSString *queryString = #"?param1=1";
NSString *URLwithQueryString = [URLString stringByAppendingString: queryString];
NSURL *finalURL = [NSURL URLWithString:URLwithQueryString];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:finalURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData timeoutInterval:(NSTimeInterval)10.0 ];
[web loadRequest:request];
The most upvoted answer by Prince doesn't always work.
In iOS 7 Apple introduced NSURLComponents class, we can leverage that to securely add a query into NSURL.
NSURL *contentURL = ...;
NSURLComponents *components = [[NSURLComponents alloc] initWithURL:contentURL resolvingAgainstBaseURL:NO];
NSMutableArray *queryItems = [components.queryItems mutableCopy];
if (!queryItems) queryItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[queryItems addObject:[NSURLQueryItem queryItemWithName:#"access_token" value:#"token_here"]];
components.queryItems = queryItems;
NSURL *newURL = components.URL;
I use like this way:
NSURL *url=[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"index" ofType:#"xml"]];
If your file included into the Resource folder of project navigator. otherwise you have to set your full path in NSString and use that in your NSURL path.
I'm new in iPhone, I'm trying to open .doc file in the UIWebView, I wrote the following code
NSString *urlAddress = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.doc", docName] ofType:nil];
NSLog(#"in search the document url address: %#", urlAddress);
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[_webView loadRequest:requestObj];
the application doesn't crash, but it gives me the following:
EXCEPTION CPMessageException: (null)
and loads a blank page
Any Help in this issue?
Check out these two SO posts:
Reading Open-XML documents in IOS
any objective-c library to parse/read word documents?
NSURL *pdfURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:#"sampleLayout.pdf" withExtension:nil];
This above line warns NSBundle may not respond to -URLForResource:withExtension:
and the app crashes while loading the PDF file from this URL path.
Why dont you try like this..?
NSString *urlPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"test" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlPath];
NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webViewOutlet loadRequest:urlRequest];
NSURL *pdfPath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"test" ofType:#"pdf"]];
i got working from this above line, i think this is alternative for ipad 3.2 from iphone 4.0 os
I have HTML files that I want to load locally. I have included the files in the resources folder in XCode. I am not sure what the syntax is to load them.
This is the code I use to connect to say google.
NSString *urlAddress=#"http\\someurl";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webHelpView loadRequest:requestObj];
Could someone provide an example where a HTML file is loaded locally.
Thanks in advance.
This is the only code that worked for me.
NSString *path = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"SettingsHelp.html"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
Thanks all for the help.
Can't you just do
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"file:///path/to/file"];
?
Sure, here is some code from an app that loads a locallly stored html page into a web view:
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
// Load the content into the view
NSString* path = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#/index.html",
[NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex: 0]];
[webView_ loadRequest: [NSURLRequest requestWithURL: [NSURL fileURLWithPath: path]]];
}
