UPDATE #1: forgot to mention this is running on an iPad app
This is my revised code (still not working, but got rid of the unnecessary code):
NSURL *tmpDirURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:NSTemporaryDirectory() isDirectory:YES];
NSURL *fileURL = [[tmpDirURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"custImage"] URLByAppendingPathExtension:@"png"];
NSError*writeError = nil;
[client.aClientImage writeToURL:fileURL options:0 error:&writeError];
NSAssert(writeError==nil, writeError);
// write appointment info
NSString *htmlString;
if(client.aClientEMail.length > 0) {
htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString(@"HTML_STRING1",nil),
client.aClientFirstName,
client.aClientLastName,
client.aClientEMail.length == 0? @"": client.aClientEMail,
client.aClientPrimaryPhone,
apptSelected.aServices,
fileURL];
}
else {
htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString(@"HTML_STRING2",nil),
client.aClientFirstName,
client.aClientLastName,
client.aClientPrimaryPhone,
apptSelected.aServices,
fileURL];
}
When I look at custImage in the XCode debugger, I see a different image from the previous image, which is correct. However, when it gets time to display the image at fileURL, it's a totally different image than custImage and is the same image that was displayed the first time!
UPDATE #2: I have figured out that fileURL has the correct image, but it is NOT being written to the device the second time (the first image is not being replaced).
UPDATE #3: this is the contents of htmlString that is displayed in the UIWebView popover:
<html><head><style type="text/css"> body {font-family: "Verdana"; font-size: 12;} </style></head><body>

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I figured it out... for others that are having the same problem, here is the code that works. Notice that I do NOT save it to a temporary file, since I already have the image in the Core Data entity. Here's the code:
-(void) showExistingAppointmentDetails: (AppointmentInfo *) apptSelected {
// make rectangle to attach popover
CGRect rectangle = CGRectMake( [apptSelected.aPosX floatValue], [apptSelected.aPosY floatValue],
[apptSelected.aPosW floatValue], [apptSelected.aPosH floatValue]);
// see if this is for staff; if so, don't display anything
if([apptSelected.aApptKey isEqual: @"Staff"])
return;
NSPredicate *predicate = ([NSPredicate predicateWithFormat: @"aClientKey == %@", apptSelected.aApptKey ]); // was aApptKey
ClientInfo *client = [ClientInfo MR_findFirstWithPredicate:predicate inContext:localContext];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:client.aClientImage]; // image is good <---------
// write appointment info into html string
NSString *htmlString;
if(client.aClientEMail.length > 0) {
htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString(@"HTML_STRING1",nil),
client.aClientFirstName,
client.aClientLastName,
client.aClientEMail.length == 0? @"": client.aClientEMail,
client.aClientPrimaryPhone,
apptSelected.aServices,
[self htmlForPNGImage:image]];
}
else {
htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString(@"HTML_STRING2",nil),
client.aClientFirstName,
client.aClientLastName,
client.aClientPrimaryPhone,
apptSelected.aServices,
[self htmlForPNGImage:image]];
}
UIViewController* popoverContent = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIView* popoverView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 250, 300)];
popoverView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:(CGFloat)1.0 alpha:(CGFloat)1.0]; // frame color?
popoverContent.view = popoverView;
//resize the popover view shown in the current view to the view's size
popoverContent.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(250, 300);
// add the UIWebView for RichText
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:popoverView.frame];
webView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; // change background color here
// add the webView to the popover
[webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:nil]];
[popoverView addSubview:webView];
// if previous popoverController is still visible... dismiss it
if ([popoverController isPopoverVisible]) {
[popoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
//create a popover controller
popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popoverContent];
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:rectangle inView:self
permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];
}
- (NSString *) htmlForPNGImage:(UIImage *) image {
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
NSString *imageSource = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"data:image/png;base64,%@",[imageData base64Encoding]];
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", imageSource];
}
