Launch a stored html page in WebView or Browser - Objective C/Xcode

I have saved an html page using the following line of code :

NSURL *yoyoyo = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"www.google.com"];
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:yoyoyo]; 
NSString *html = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; 
NSString *documentsDirectory = @"/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/";
NSLog(@"%@", documentsDirectory);
NSString *htmlFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"file.html"];
[html writeToFile:htmlFilePath atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];

The file named as gets saved as "file.html" folder in the path mentioned i.e. documentsDirectory. Is there a way that I can open this file in safari or webView of my application ?? Thanks and Regards.

Try this code This may be helpful for you. 

NSString *htmlFile;

htmlFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"abc" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:nil];


NSString* htmlString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:htmlFile  encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];

[webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil];

Where abc.html is your html file in application.

to load it in your web view, do the following

NSString *htmlFilePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"file.html"];
NSString *htmlContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:htmlFilePath
                                                   encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding 
                                                      error:NULL];
[webView loadHTMLString:htmlContents baseURL:nil];

You also have an issue in getting documentDir

Instead of 

NSString *documentsDirectory = @"/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/";

use

NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"];

Save the file again and try to load using the above code

It can be as simple as:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString: htmlFilePath];

which would open your saved HTML file in Safari.

If your app has it's own webview, you can create a URLRequest and pass that along to your webview's "loadRequest:" method.
