UITextView with HTML text (iOS 7)

htmltest.m

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UITextView *textView = [[UITextView alloc] init];
    textView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
    [self.view addSubview:textView];
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:|-[textView]-|" options:0 metrics:nil views:NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(textView)]];
    [self.view addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|-[textView]-|" options:0 metrics:nil views:NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(textView)]];
    
    NSString *htmlString = @"<h1>Header</h1><h2>Subheader</h2><p>Some <em>text</em></p><img src='http://blogs.babble.com/famecrawler/files/2010/11/mickey_mouse-1097.jpg' width=70 height=100 />";
    NSAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithData:[htmlString dataUsingEncoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding] options:@{ NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType } documentAttributes:nil error:nil];
    textView.attributedText = attributedString;
}

Take into consideration this method is slow. Not good for using in UITableViewCell for example.

i used this method working great.can i do this asynchronously like my html has more than 3 images . i want to load asynchronously so that wont block main thread.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm running into the same problem.

I have:

NSAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithData:[htmlString dataUsingEncoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding] options:@{ NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType } documentAttributes:nil error:nil];

running on a background thread, so the fetch of the images is not blocking the UI. However, the initWithData: does not return until all of the images have been loaded.
