How to fix content on proper place in UIWebView iOS - ios

I m just trying to fix all the contents of html according to the device screen.
I have to put html data at proper place for iPhone & iPad in webview.
Please help me!!!

I am going to assume that this question is a very basic one.
Suppose that you have placed a UIWebView in a view in your storyboard, and you have set layout constraints so that the UIWebView fills the view.
Then
Add an IBOutlet to your view controller, and connect it to the web view.
In the view controllers viewDidLoad: method, tell the web view what to display. Here is an example:
-(void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.apple.com"];
NSURLRequest* r = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[_webView loadRequest:r];
}
This loadRequest: call is asynchronous, meaning that the page may not show up immediately.
If this is not answering your question, please add more information.

Xcode can't implement web view using AMSlidemenu

I have been using AMSlidemenu with multiple AMSlideMenuContentSegues.
They all work fine at the moment as they just display a label.
The first view controller I have added a web view and given it its own custom class .h and .m file which point to a url but every time I launch the application crashes.
.....
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://google.com"];
NSURLRequest *requestURL = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[websiteWebview loadRequest:requestURL]; **Thread 1: Breakpoint 1.1**
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
......
I dont understand whats happening ... I m a novice when it comes to Xcode so any help will be appreciated.
I hope I have contextualized my problem.

webView - how to stop reloading

I am developing an app in Xcode but am having trouble with one part.
Basicly on the main app page, there is a small section that contains a web view. Everytime I change to another view controller and back, i see it flicker and reload. Is there a way to prevent it from reloading every time i open the view? instead just reloading every time I open the app.
This is the code:
NSURL *webUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"myurl.com"];
NSURLRequest *webrequestUrl = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:webUrl];
[webView loadRequest:webrequestUrl];
webView.scrollView.scrollEnabled = NO;
webView.scrollView.bounces = NO;
Your webview is reloading every time you go to that screen is probably because you added it to either viewDidAppear: or viewWillAppear.
Add your block of code to the viewDidLoad method so it only gets executed when the view is loaded (aka when it's shown for the first time).
- (void)viewDidLoad:(BOOL)animated {
NSURL *webUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"myurl.com"];
NSURLRequest *webrequestUrl = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:webUrl];
[webView loadRequest:webrequestUrl];
webView.scrollView.scrollEnabled = NO;
webView.scrollView.bounces = NO;
}
Edit: Oh by going to another view and back you meant going back on the navigation stack (or switching the navigation stack). In that case, you can keep a strong reference to your view controller with the webview and reuse it. Though I wouldn't suggest it doing it this was, unless that screen is the most important screen of your application.
Hope you are having your logic in other than the method
- (void)viewDidLoad
move your code to - viewDidLoad
even if your are having trouble then pass the preloaded UIWebView when ever you are navigating.

PreLoad UIWebView on a not yet displayed UIViewController

I have an app where on the very last UIViewController there is a UIWebView... the user navigates through the app and at the very end they can transition (modal) to the final UIViewController with a UIWebView... in it's viewDidLoad I have the UIWebView load the page.
The problem is it takes about 8 seconds to load this page and that annoys users.
How can I load the UIWebView way ahead of time (like when the app is first launched!) if that UIViewController hasn't even been presented yet?
I had your same problem for UIWebView inside a UIPageViewController and I found a better solution.
If you are in FirstViewController and you have your webView in your SecondViewController put the loadHTMLString or loadRequest method in the viewDidLoad of your SecondViewController and call [secondViewController.view layoutSubviews] for start loading in your FirstViewController.
Ex:
FirstViewController
-(void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
// _secondViewController -> An instance of SecondVieController
[_secondViewController.view layoutSubviews];
}
SecondViewController
-(void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURL *url =[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.it"];
NSURLRequest *request =[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self.webView loadRequest:request];
}
What u can do is, load the html string
NSString *htmlFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:self.path ofType:#"htm"];
NSError * error;
NSString* htmlString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:htmlFile encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];
and when u display the webView load this content in your webView
[self.webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleURL]];
then your webview need only render your content and doesn't load the data
/// In Swift 2.0
do{
let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("theName", ofType: "html")!
let html = try String(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
webView.loadHTMLString(html, baseURL: nil)
}catch{
print("Error is happend")
}
Note: It works the same way for WKWebView
Not sure how much work you want to do for this but I think you could cache/store the data from the URL in something like a NSDictionary, or something similar, using [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] and use that information before actually loading the page.
So, load the first time you use it, after it has been seen then store the data using NSUserDefaults. Next time you go to this page, load from the NSUserDefaults first and call the URL/API in the back ground then update NSUserDefaults with this new data.
If you are requesting or pulling specific information each time, then I don't think this will work. If that is your case, you can probably try loading the data/website in an earlier view controller (probably one that takes the user a while to navigate to) and then send that data to the webview. Something like delegate/protocol or maybe even NSNotificationCenter. Hope this helps.
UIWebView is very tricky object. Simple answer would be: no you can't.
UIWebView won't load a document or an URL if it is not in views hierarchy.
Don't try doing it in different thread/queue either.
What you can do is to add UIWebView to the views hierarchy at the very beginning (as you've mentioned) and then pass it to the last view controller with preloaded data. This may work, but it's not an elegant way.
Side questions is: why does it take 8 secs to load a page? Maybe you can download the content of this page earlier? Is it static or dynamic?

iOS UIWebView PDF Not Showing First Time

I have a UIViewController with a UIWebView where I'm placing a PDF.
The issue I'm facing is when I click on a table cell to show the PDF it does not show the first time however if i go back to the table and click on the cell again it appears.
I call the PDF to get loaded using the following:
if ([indexPath row] == 2)
{
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"myFirstPdf" ofType:#"pdf"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webViewVC.webView loadRequest:request];
webViewVC.parent = _parent;
[_parent pushViewController:webViewVC];
}
The webViewVC itself I allocate using an initWithNib which has the UIWebView - nothing fancy there, simply a UIWebView with a IBOutlet.
Any ideas?
I think you should try 2 things:
(1) First, try loading the PDF from the web view controller. This is really the standard way to do this, rather than doing a load request for a web view that is not even on screen yet. All outlets are guaranteed to be loaded only in viewDidLoad of the controller.
(2) Second, try making use of the UIWebViewDelegate. For example, you could call setNeedsDisplay on the web view once loading is finished.
My idea : the first time you try the action your "webViewVC" hasn't been loaded yet, so webViewVC.webView is nil
the second time as you have displayed the webViewVC in your first attempt, it has been loaded, so webViewVC.webView isn't nil;
create a property on your webViewVC where you will set your request
and on your webViewVC viewWillAppear method do your [self.webView loadRequest:self.request];

Web View is not working in iOS5

I am very new to iPad and was trying "Loading a web page using the Web View" - opening the google page!
I followed all the steps given in the box/tutorial but I am not able to view the page.
Step 1 : Added web view in the view window
Step 2 : decalre outlet for web view by adding following code
#interface WebiPadViewController : UIViewController {
IBOutlet UIWebView *webDisplayiPad;
}
#property(nonatomic,retain) UIWebView *webDisplayiPad;
Step 3 : Connect webview outlet to Web view using file manager
Step 4 : Create URl and request object using followng code:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
NSString *urlAddress = #"http://www.google.com";
//Create a URL object.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
//URL Requst Object
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
//Load the request in the UIWebView.
[webDisplayiPad loadRequest:requestObj];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
Step 5 : Save and run the app to see google page.
But the Simulator shows only a white background!
Let me start by saying it is possible you simply haven't setup your ViewController class and View outlet property properly, as sergio describes, since that can also lead to a blank white background.
But I'm going to assume that it is your webDisplayiPad property that is not connected. I think this most likely since your "Step 3 : Connect webview outlet to Web view using file manager" seems a sketchy description at best.
To check your connection go to your WebiPadViewController.xib and right-click (cntrl-click) on the File's Owner icon. Under outlets there should be your webDisplayiPad listed with a circle to the right of it. If the circle is empty, and I suspect it is, drag from the circle to the UIWebView. The UIWebView will do a little flash to confirm. And your done.
Also the modern way of connecting IBOutlets is to put that keyword in the property definition and forget the ivar completely. For example:
#interface WebiPadViewController : UIViewController {
}
#property(nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIWebView *webDisplayiPad;
and in the .m file to do this:
#implementation WebiPadViewController
#synthesize webDisplayiPad = _webDisplayiPad;
The synthesize will create the backing variable for you and the _ character will help you keep them straight.
If you were to change to this way your loadRequest call would look like one of the following two:
[_webDisplayiPad loadRequest:requestObj]; // Calls through ivar
[self.webDisplayiPad loadRequest:requestObj]; // Calls through accessor method
Don't forget in you implementation:
#synthesize webDisplayiPad = _webDisplayiPad;
I guess that you got some problems with your Nib/Xib connections.
Please, check the following:
your nib's file's owner class is set to be WebiPadViewController;
your controller's view outlet is connected to the web view.
Set delegate.
web page loads only when u set the delegate.
other wise it will be an empty page
I think you have to load HTML into a UIWebView,
