iOS Question load image center in wkwebview

ilan · May 8, 2020

i am not sure if it is a bug but i get very strange behavior.

i have a wkwebview and i am loading an image to it (and also other files)
now the thing is when i start the app and try to load the image using loadhtml() it does not load it BUT if i load before that another file or the same file with the SAME path with loadurl() it does load and then if i use loadhtml() it works.

so ONLY if the loadhtm() was first it does not work but if loadulr() came before loadhtml() it does work.

this happens only if i use file.dirdocument. from file.dirassets it works fine.

the info of Powerview says the the path is relative to file.dirassets folder but can i change it so it works also with file.dirdocuments

thanx for you answer erel. i saw it and i also use it. but using

B4X:

WV.LoadUrl("file://" & File.Combine(Dir, FileName))

does load the image on top and i want it to be centred so i use this function:

B4X:

Private Sub loadFileToWebView(WV As WKWebView, Dir As String, FileName As String, isImage As Boolean) 'ignore
    If isImage Then
       ' WV.LoadUrl(xui.FileUri(Dir, FileName))
        WV.LoadHtml("<html><head></head><body><div class=" & """" & "container" & """" & "> <img src= """ & "file://" & xui.FileUri(Dir, FileName) &  """/><style>.container {width: 100%;height: 100%;position: absolute;margin:auto;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;background-color: #fff;}img {max-width: 100%;max-height: 100%; position: absolute;margin:auto;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;}<style></body></html>")
    Else
        WV.LoadUrl(xui.FileUri(Dir, FileName))
    End If
End Sub

now to load the image on first start i have to load it first with loadurl and then use loadhtml. if i use loadhtml without loadurl it wort load the image.
the weired thing is that if i load another file like pdf with loadurl and then use loadhtml it works.

why is it like that?

Ilan, it is time to learn how to use smart strings...
Your code is unreadable.

It is related to internal permissions handling. Try to load a html file with LoadURL which is located in the same folder as the image file. The image file should be referenced from the html file (I haven't tried it).

I tested your code under IOS 13 simulator (I took simple name "1.jpg"). Works fine for File.DirDocuments.
This is a surprise, because file://" & xui.FileUri(Dir, FileName) is incorrect. xui.FileUri already includes file:///
