I have NSString as follows
NSString *textOutStations = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hello Everyone. Please check out website:<br> http://www.google.com/</br>"];
I want to show google.com as below in URL, as I will load this in UIWebView.
www.google.com
So, whenever user click it, It must open Safari in iPhone.
NSString *textOutStations = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Hello Everyone. Please check out website:<br> http://www.google.com/"];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:textOutStations baseURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]]];
Then in UIWebView delegate:
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
// Opening safari
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:request.URL];
....
}
Try this one
NSString *textOutStations = #"<html><head><title></title></head><body><div> Hello Everyone. Please check out website:<br/> http://www.google.com/ </div></body></html>";
[self.webView loadHTMLString:textOutStations baseURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]]];
This will help you......
You can not specify a URL with in a string and have it be clickable, this type of functionality is dependant on the object to which is using it, aka, UITextView UITextField UILabel UIWebView etc,
A UIWebview will show your url with in the webview it will not open the link in safari. IF you want to load it in ui web view, it's already ansered above, if you want to open it in safari, you have to do
[[UIAplication sharedApplication] openUrl:urlObject];
if you want to open it to be text with in a UITextView i would suggest this other stack overflow link here
I checked the link option in Attribute Inspector of UIWebView and it detected the link.

When I click google hyperlink in webview it gives
URL: applewebdata://
Please help me.
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"];
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
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
I have UIWebview in my app and this is how i navigate some times in the application to URL:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://mp3skull.com/mp3/nirvana.html"];
NSURLRequest* request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
And sometimes i noticed that if i click on link the AppStore application is opened with some app.
It is possible to disable it?
In the method - (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
You could do
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
NSString *requestedURL = [[request URL] absoluteString];
// URL for opening itunes according to Apple docs is something like this #"http://itunes.apple.com
// But I do believe that it will be some sort of URL scheme that opens it specifically to the app on the app store.
// So without an example this is the best I can provide.
if([requestedURL isEqualToString:#"http://itunes.apple.com"]) {
// or if([requestedURL rangeOfString:#"itunes.apple.com"].location==0) {
// What is happening here is that if the request url that is being request is
// "http://mp3skull.com/mp3/nirvana.html" then we don't want to continue with the request so stop.
return NO;
}
// Otherwise for all other requests continue
return YES;
}
Remember you will need to set the delegate on your UIWebView as this method is a UIWebViewDelegate method - see Apple Documentation on UIWebViewDelegate for more information
Yes it happens, some times when you click on some links, the application will open another application.
Because, those links contain other app schemas. (link)
so, to disable opening such url-schemas, we have to detect them and not load them.
As appStore has "itunes.apple.com",
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
NSString *requestedURL = [[request URL] absoluteString];
if([requestedURL rangeOfString:#"itunes.apple.com"].location==0) {
return NO;
}
return YES;
}
I´ve a small app with a UIWebView for web surfing in it. On some pages opens the Appstore for promotional purposes (that is annoying). How can i prevent that? Is there a special method? or just fake the browserid?
http://bjango.com/articles/ituneslinks/
here is the complete reference for link formation of the appstore, itunes.
from above reference link, apple.com is common for all kind of links.
So we can create regex or simply search string "apple.com" from url and avoid to load in webview.
If you wanna,use without regex following code may be help you :
-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
NSURL *currentURL = request.URL;
NSString *urlString = url.absoluteString;
NSRange range = [urlString rangeOfString:#"apple.com"];
if (range.location != NSNotFound)
return YES;
else
return NO;
}
Use UIWebViewDelegate method webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: to detect what URLs are getting loaded in the webview. App store URLs usually contain itunes.apple.com or phobos.apple.com.
When you encounter such urls are clicked, you can return NO from the web view delegate method to stop loading the url.
Hope that helps!
Use the following UIWebView Delegate method for this :
-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
NSURL *currentURL = request.URL;
NSString *urlString = url.absoluteString;
NSRange range = [urlString rangeOfString:#"https://itunes.apple.com"]; // Change URL if other than this.
if (range.location != NSNotFound)
return YES;
else
return NO;
}
I am having difficulties gettin a webpage to load in my app. I think the issue has to do with it having back to back / in it at one point, but am not sure how to work around this. The URL I want it to visit is http://kaiopublications.org/content//iLuminateVol1.1/index.html
Here is my code:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
NSString *html = _entry.articleUrl;
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:html];
NSLog(#"URL%#", html);
[_webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
}
The log for html comes back with the correct address, but if I run a log on url, it comes back null.
It must be something else or you may just need to wait. I tried it quickly myself and I can load the site with this URL in my test app. But I realize the site did load very slowly even on the simulator with a regular internet connection. If you try it on your device with a poor mobile bandwidth it maybe just takes very long.
One more thought. Is there any "noise" character at the end of the string?
Try this to see if it is that:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://kaiopublications.org/content//iLuminateVol1.1/index.html"];
[_webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
Add some delegate methods to help you diagnose this. So you can display an activityIndicatorView while waiting for loads. It could be a slow site or it could be the delegate not setup.
#pragma mark - UIWebView delegate methods
- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
if (!_activity.isAnimating)
[_activity startAnimating];
}
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
[_activity stopAnimating];
}
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
if (!_activity.isAnimating)
[_activity startAnimating];
return YES;
}
I already tried getting the current URL of my UIWebView with: webview.request.URL.
Unfortunately the NSURL was empty. Anything wrong here? I am working with Xcode 3.2.2 beta 5.
The code above should be executed in the UIWebView delegate didStartLoad.
window.location via JS didn't work reliably for me, but this did:
currentURL = currentWebView.request.URL.absoluteString;
Credit:
http://mohrt.blogspot.com/2008/10/getting-url-from-uiwebview.html
here's the code I use to grab the url every time you navigate to a different link within the webview:
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)aWebView
{
self.url = aWebView.request.mainDocumentURL;
}
Matt's version is much cleaner. I recommend everyone to use that one instead of this
You could try this:
NSString *currentURL = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"window.location"];
I too found that the approved answer above was not reliable.
But with a slight modification, it seems to work every time:
NSString *currentURL = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"window.location.href"];
Note the addition of ".href" to the Javascript as this is hidden at the end of the line of code.
This is not correct, and will return a nil:
NSString *currentURL = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"window.location"];
However, the code below can get a URL, but the url may not be the current URL:
NSString *url = _webView.request.URL.absoluteString;
The correct one is:
NSString *currentURL = [_webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"window.location.href"];
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView{
NSURL *currentURL = [[webView request] URL];
NSLog(#"%#",[currentURL description]);
}
Tried this for google search results on iPhone:
NSString* currentURL = webView.request.URL.absoluteString;
NSString* mainDocumentURL = webView.request.mainDocumentURL.absoluteString;
Both return the same string!
As UIWebView is deprecated, for WKWebview to get the current url is very simple.
webView.url
here the code i use :
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[[[webView request] URL] absoluteString]]];
I use the shouldStartLoadWithRequest event (UIWebViewDelegate) to catch URL updates. request.mainDocumentURL.absoluteString will get you the main web page's URL (which is normally what you want), while request.URL.absoluteString will include CSS and JavaScript includes.
This always works . .
NSString* url= [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"window.location.href"];
implement delegate method,
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webview shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
NSString *URL = request.URL.absoluteString; NSLog(#"%#",URL);
}
URL is the what you exactly needed.
IN Swift try this,
func webViewDidFinishLoad(webView: UIWebView){
println(WebView.request?.mainDocumentURL)
}
To get current URL of the WKWebView and UIWebview
Here is the code.
if (self.wkWebView) {
NSString *URL = self.wkWebView.title;
}else if(self.uiWebView) {
NSString *URL = self.uiWebView.request.title;
}
