iPhone dev: load a file from resource folder
- by thomax
I'm writing an iPhone app with a UIWebView which should display various html files I have in the app resource folder. In xcode my project overview, these html files are displayed like this:
dirA
|---> index.html
|---> a1.html
|---> a2.html
|---> my.css
|---> dirB
|---> b1.html
|---> b2.html
|---> dirC
|---> c1.html
|---> c2.html
These resources where added to the project as such:
- Checked "Copy items into destination groups folder (if needed)".
- Reference type: Default.
- Text encoding: Unicode (utf-8).
- Recursively create groups for any added folders.
The links in my html are relative, meaning they look like this:
<a href="a1.html">a2</a>
<a href="a2.html">a2</a>
<a href="dirB/b2.html">b2</a>
<a href="dirC/c1.html">b2</a>
In order to display the index.html when the app starts up, I use the following code:
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
This works fine. Following links from the index file also works fine, as long as the html files requested are directly under dirA. If the link followed points to a file in a sub-directory, then didFailLoadWithError will catch the situation and report that the requested file does not exist.
Note that
[webView loadHtmlString:myHtml];
cannot be part of the solution, as I need back and forward buttons to work in my web view.
So the question is: How can I follow a relative link to an html file in a sub directory within my resources?
I've been all over stackoverflow and the rest of the tubes for the past few days trying to figure this one out, but nowhere have I come across the solution to this exact problem. Any insight at all would be very, very much appreciated!
