Opening a epub file on a UIWebView

Question

Xcode Open File (epub) with xcode programming - NOT OPENING (O just see a little white block on upper right)

I have also added epub file in project, I am using following below code to open it in viewdidload method.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    NSString *filepath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"MyEpub" ofType:@"epub"];
    UIWebView *wv = [[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
    [self.view addSubview:wv];
    [wv loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filepath]]];

    [super viewDidLoad];
}

Answer 1

Well, you won't be able to open an ePub file in a UIWebView, because it's not a supported format.

Apple provide a list of supported formats here:

You'll need to use the link Jano provided above to decompress, parse, and open up the file.
