Get resource URL from project specific path

I need to retrieve the URL of a resource contained in my Xcode project through a path that begins in the project's directory (aka mainBundle)

So if my specified path if ./snd/archer/acknowledge1.wav, I need to create a URL from that.

I know I can use NSURL(fileURLWithPath:) for system directories, but I don't know how to do this directly from the bundle.

Solution

  • You would use one of the bundle resourse URL methods 

    [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"acknowledge1"
                        withExtension:@"wav"
                         subdirectory:@"snd/archer"];

NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("acknowledge1", withExtension:"wav" subdirectory:"snd/archer")

    In latest Swift: 

    Bundle.main.url(forResource: "acknowledge1", withExtension:"wav")
