Can't load html file to webview - iphone

Here is my code :
NSString *path1 = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"NewSouthWales.html"];
NSURL *pageURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path1];
//URL Requst Object
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:pageURL];
//Load the request in the UIWebView.
[self.webView loadRequest:requestObj];
I am getting output in my webview as :
like
........
instead of giving me proper look of that file it shows page source code.
Please help ...
Thanks in advance

First prefer pathForRessource ofType
pathNSString *path1 = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"NewSouthWales" ofType:#"html"];
And then if the file is local why send a request ?
Just use :
NSString *html = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path1 encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]bundlePath]]];

NSString *path1 = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"NewSouthWales" ofType:#"html"];
NSURL *baseurl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path1];
NSData *pathData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path1];
//Check first if the file path's data is captured. if true, load the html on the web view
if (pathData) {
[webView loadData:pathData MIMEType:#"text/html" textEncodingName:#"UTF-8" baseURL:baseurl];
}

NSURL add parameters to fileURLWithPath method

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.

How to use HTML file in iPhone

I want to use an HTML file in my code currently I am using following line of code:
NSString *htmlFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"index" ofType:#"htm" inDirectory:nil];
NSString* htmlString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:htmlFile encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
[WebView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil];
But the problem which I am facing is: the HTML Page contains some images, and all that images are in a folder in my project but I am not able to see that images in the HTML page at run time.
You can set the baseURL to your resource folder, where your images are located:
NSString *htmlFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"index" ofType:#"htm" inDirectory:nil];
NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:htmlFile encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
NSString *resourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]resourcePath];
NSURL *baseUrl = [[NSURL alloc]initFileURLWithPath:resourcePath];
[self.myWebView loadHTMLString:htlmString baseURL:baseUrl];
Here the possible ways to use HTML into the project,
Following code for the load HTML file into xcode project
Example 1, loading the content from a URLNSURL
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://google.com"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
Example 2, loading the content from a string
NSString *HTMLData = #"<h1>Hello this is a test</h1>";
[webView loadHTMLString:HTMLData baseURL:nil];
Example 3, loading the content from a local file
NSString *htmlFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"sample" ofType:#"html"];
NSData *htmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:htmlFile];
[webView loadData:htmlData MIMEType:#"text/html" textEncodingName:#"UTF-8" baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#""]];
Hope this code helping to develop a application

How to add CSS file to iphone project in xcode?

I am working on a web based application for iphone, I have created new cssfile to the project this css file doesn't affect the html file, but when I have uploaded the css file a host it worked fine and styled the html
What is the problem ?

This the head element .
css.css is working fine and is linked to the html correctly
jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css is NOT !
Despite the both files exist in the same border
Onotha.com
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css" />
edit 2
This is the Objective-C code, I have an exception, I think in the last line of code
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
NSString *path= [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"index" ofType:#"html" inDirectory:NO];
// [webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]]];
// NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
// NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
// [webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:baseURL];
// load css styles
NSString *cssPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"css/jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css" ofType:#"css"];
NSData *cssData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:cssPath];
NSString *cssString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:cssData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
// load js
NSString *jsPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"MyJS" ofType:#"js"];
NSData *jsData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:jsPath];
NSString *jsString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
// compose full html page
NSString *pageContent = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#%#", cssString, jsString, path];
[webView loadHTMLString:pageContent baseURL:baseURL];
return YES;
}

I got this after using code posted by Srikar
You can load CSS from local project directory
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
[webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:baseURL];
detail info check this site.
More elaborate code here -
// load css styles
NSString *cssPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"MyCSS" ofType:#"css"];
NSData *cssData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:cssPath];
NSString *cssString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:cssData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
// load js
NSString *jsPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"MyJS" ofType:#"js"];
NSData *jsData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:jsPath];
NSString *jsString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
// compose full html page
NSString *pageContent = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#%#", cssString, jsString, actualPageMarkup];
[webView loadHTMLString:pageContent baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#""]];
More info here
I don't know if you have solved this, but I think you have to load in "pageContent" the content of the page instead of the path.
Something like this:
NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSString *pageContent = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#%#", cssString, jsString, htmlString];
[webView loadHTMLString:pageContent baseURL:baseURL];

Loading PDF file from Resource directory in iPhone crashes

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

iPhone SDK: WebView how to specify a local URL?

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]]];
}
