UIWebView LoadData is not accepting Nil values for textEncodingName and baseURL

Question

Till Swift 1.2 version, UIWebView LoadData was accepting nil values, but Swift 2.0 is throwing error \"Swift does not conform to protocol NilLateralConvertible\".

Swift

Answer 1

The default character encoding is UTF-8 so you can do in this way:

self.webView.loadData(tempData!, MIMEType: "application/pdf", textEncodingName: "UTF-8", baseURL: NSURL())

Answer 2

Apple has updated the declarations and they now require non-nil values. They have adding reality to the declarations for the benefit of Swift (and ObjC).

- (void)loadData:(NSData   * nonnull)data
        MIMEType:(NSString * nonnull)MIMEType
textEncodingName:(NSString * nonnull)encodingName
         baseURL:(NSURL    * nonnull)baseURL

Answer 3

This works for me:

webView.loadData(pdfDownload, MIMEType: "application/pdf", textEncodingName: "", baseURL: NSURL())

Answer 4

Swift 3:

self.webView.loadData(tempData!, MIMEType: "application/pdf", textEncodingName: "UTF-8", baseURL: NSURL() as URL)
