I am very new to iphone app dev, this is my first app i'm building. I'm trying to get local image to show up with no success. This is the code...


Code: 
- (void) createContentPages
{
    
    NSMutableArray *pageStrings = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++)
    {
        
        NSString *contentString = [[NSString alloc]
                                   initWithFormat:@"<html><head></head><body style='padding:0px;margin:0px;'><img src='page%d.jpg' width='320' height='460' /></body></html>", i, i];
 
        [pageStrings addObject:contentString];
        
    }
    pageContent = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:pageStrings];
    
}

The code works fine, if i switch the image source to the files hosted remotely it works, but i don't want remote, i want them locally viewed. Any help will be appreciated

You will probably need to set the document base URI to point inside you app (so a file URI).

How do i do that? This is my first time coding in Obj C.

Does this bit of code need editing?
Code: 
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [webView loadHTMLString:dataObject 
                    baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@""]];
    
}

The basics are nothing to do with Objective-C and everything to do with fairly basic HTML. You need a base tag in the head of the document.

The path to your app can be found with NSBundle methods. You can use that to create a file NSURL which you can turn into a string.

If you expect code, sorry, I see no value in spoon feeding people answers.
