Iphone load image into webview from documentsDirectory

I'm trying to download, save and show again an image. I'v manage to downolad it and store it to documents directory. So now if i go there with finder i can see those images. Now i'm trying to load it into web view. For that i use these code:

[webview loadHTMLString:simpleHtml baseURL:nil];

In my simple html i have:

<html><head></head><body>
<img src='/Users/user/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/45584ECD-021A-4789-8936-6A0012242380/Documents/image.png' />
</body></html>

It loads but it shows a question mark, like if there were no image at that directory.(The image is there because i can find it in finder...)

btw simpleHtml is a NSString not folder...

i finally get it to work, however it dons't work with html. I use image data now.

NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:image];
[webview loadData:imageData MIMEType:@"image/gif" textEncodingName:nil baseURL:nil];

Now i find out another solution even better: To my original html string i need to ad prefix file:. So i have now:

<img src="file:/path">

And it works like a charm!

you can check this it will be help you.

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];

NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

[webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:baseURL];

You can then refer to your images like this:

or you can refer this link:

    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *ImagePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"yourimage.png"];

Use the above "ImagePath" in your html string.Instead of using 'loadHTMLString' use the following method of webview

[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:imagePath]]];
