objective c : Load URL or Local File ( uiwebview)

Question

how can i open local file (html,jpg...etc ) and website url with same uiwebview

this code worked for website url only

NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:url];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL];

[viewWeb loadRequest:request];}

or can i use check if the path input is URL or Local File if yes ? How ?

Check out UIWebView function - (void)loadHTMLString:(NSString *)string baseURL:(nullable NSURL *)baseURL; also check out https://stackoverflow.com/a/747644/513286 — cekisakurek, Jul 24 '17 at 15:49

For an URL with a scheme (e.g.http://) use

NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://myserver/path/to/file.html"];

For a file URL use

NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/Users/myUser/path/to/file.html"];

or add the scheme

NSURL *targetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"file:///Users/myUser/path/to/file.html"];

A file URL starts always with a slash

if ([urlString hasPrefix:@"/"]) {
    // is file URL
} else {
    // is URL including a scheme
}
