How to access files within my bundle?

Question

I have a simple question, but don't seem to see the answer in a previous thread, so here goes.

I want to access image files within my bundle, and the paste this string into html in various UIWebViews.

The code below seems to return a garbage string. It does not return nil, so I assume my found.

NSString *imageString = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myimage" ofType:@"png"];

Am I accessing this file correctly?

If you are inserting the string into your HTML, remember it should be a URL and not a path to a file. You may be able to simply add "file://" to the front, or you could use a NSURL object as follows:

NSString* urlString = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:imageString] absolutePath];

Then inject urlString into your HTML instead.
