Show preview of URL while entering a link in UITextView

I need to show a preview of a URL (like FB and WhatsApp do), while the user is entering a link in a UITextView.
Is there a library on iOS to grab it, or do we have to make our own?
Thanks in advance.
iOS does not provide this functionality by default.
You will have to build your own or use an open source solution.
This project might provide what you need:

Launch App from eMail with URL-Sheme

Hello I have a custom URL to open an app with a link. It works in the browser. But I want to send an email that another user can click the link in the email and the app will be started. Does anybody know a solution?
It is not possible to send an email with the link (myApp://). It always shows the the link as blank text.
Or does anyone know another solution to transfer data between an app to a other users app?
I think you need to write the link in href html tag
i.e. open my app
another solution is to try to add any text after the double slash i.e. myApp://open

Post link to Facebook including app URL scheme - iOS 6

I'm using the UIActivityViewController to share an image and url from within my app.
I'm having trouble formatting the facebook post. I attach an image using a subclassed UIActivityItemProvider and provide the text for the post in the same way.
I want to add a url, but it needs my apps custom url scheme in front of it like this
myurl://image?url=http://imageurl.com
The problem is, when this is posted, only the last half of the url is clickable (from http:// onwards). Which means it doesn't open my app with the url.
Is there another way to do this?
I know I can create an app on Facebook, but how can I tie the two together using the UIActivityViewController?
Thanks
You have 2 options :
Create a simple server-side web service that will redirect from http://yourserver.com/linkToApp/image to myurl://image .
It could even show a different page/preview if the app is not installed/if you're not on an ios device.
Create a facebook app and use "Deep linking" (it will basically do the same for you..)

iOS QuickLook add custom buttons

I'm using the iOS QuickLook framework in a project and a client request is to add an Email button into the Actions menu, alongside the available actions already present.
Example: Email, Print, Open In...
Is there a way to do this? I was thinking setToolBarItems or something similiar but I don't want to replace default actions.
Thanks SO!

Is there a custom URL scheme for the built-in Contacts app?

I am trying to write an app that does a person search of my company. When it returns a result, I want to include a feature to add the person to the Contacts app with the push of a button.
The problem is, I can't find a way to launch the Contacts app through a custom URL scheme with the new person info as parameters. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible and if so, how to go about that?
If there were a public URL scheme, Apple would have documented it in the URL Scheme Reference.
Your options are:
ABNewPersonViewController or ABUnknownPersonViewController
Direct modification of the address book. (archived link)
There is a URL scheme for the Contacts app on the Mac – the addressbook scheme. You might want to try whether this works on iOS as well.
No,Not possible to open Default contact application as URL scheme is not available
