Load local html into UIWebView using swift

Question

This one is driving me crazy early this morning. I want to load some local html into a web view:

class PrivacyController: UIViewController {      @IBOutlet weak var webView:UIWebView!      override func viewDidLoad() {         let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: "privacy.html")         let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url!)         webView.loadRequest(request)     } } 

The html file is located in the root folder of my project but is inside a group. The webview is blank for me. Any ideas whats wrong? I am on xcode 6.1 and running this example on my iphone 6.

Answer 1

To retrieve URLs for application resources, you should use URLForResource method of NSBundle class.

Swift 2

let url = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("privacy", withExtension:"html")  

Swift 3

let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "privacy", withExtension: "html")
