Answer 1

You question is not very clear if you want to get the tapped url on webview or the webview's loaded page url ,
If you want to get webview loaded page url you can use NSURLRequestObject,something like
NSString * url = [request URL];
If you want to get the clicked link url , you will have to use this java script
NSString *url = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"window.location"];

Answer 2

you can do like this way
-(BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
if ([request.URL.absoluteString rangeOfString:#"www.google.com"].location!=NSNotFound)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]openURL:request.URL];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}

For Swift:
Whenever your webpage is loaded you can use this, I use it for a label in this case:
webUrlLabel.text = webView.request.URL.absoluteString
For Objective-C:
NSString *currentPage = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", webView.request.URL.absoluteString];
webUrlLabel is a UILabel
webView is my UIWebView

Answer 4

You already have NSURLRequest object. Access url from that.
inRequest.URL
way 1:
NSString *currentURL = myWebView.request.URL.absoluteString;
Way 2:
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
//CAPTURE USER LINK-CLICK.
NSURL *url = [request URL];
yourTextBox.text = [url absoluteString];
return YES;
}
Please let me know if it works. Thanks
