ios : UIWebview and its delegate methods in same class not working - ios

Question

I want to open links of uiwebview in to the safari browser my code is working perfectly if I implement shouldStartLoadWithRequest method in viewController but when I implement shouldStartLoadWithRequest in same class and set UIWebView's delegate to self it doesn't work it get halt in between and shows assembly level code with error EXC_BAD_ACCESS(code=2, address=0x9) my files are as follows
//content of ShowView.h file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ShowView : UIView <UIWebViewDelegate> {
}
- (void) showViewFunction;
#property (nonatomic, assign) UIViewController *mainViewContObj;
#end
//content of ShowView.m file is :
#import "ShowView.h"
#implementation ShowView
- (void) showViewFunction {
UIWebView *aWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 150)];
aWebView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
aWebView.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth);
[aWebView setDelegate:self];
NSString *urlAddress = #"http://localhost/test/index.php";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
aWebView.delegate = self;
[aWebView loadRequest:requestObj];
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
[[[self mainViewContObj] view] addSubview:aWebView];
}
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
NSLog(#"In shouldStartLoadWithRequest method");
if ([[[request URL] absoluteString] isEqual:#"http://localhost/test/index.php"])
return YES;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[request URL]];
return NO;
}
#end
// Content of ViewController.h
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "ShowView.h"
#interface mnetViewController ()
#end
#implementation mnetViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
MNETMobAd *bannerObj = [[MNETMobAd alloc] init];
bannerObj.mainViewContObj = self;
[bannerObj showAd];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#end
Some times html page shows but when I click on link it opens in same UIWebview window, and not even going into the shouldStartLoadWithRequest method, am I doing anything wrong?

Your code isn't clear, might need more info's, but from what i see, the ShowView class is never instanciated, so it shouldn't even show.
you should make something like this i guess :
//mnetViewController.m
#import "mnetViewController.h"
#import "ShowView.h"
#interface mnetViewController ()
#end
#implementation mnetViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
ShowView* theShowView = [[ShowView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(insert the frame you want your webview to have)];
theShowView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
[self.view addSubview:theShowView];
[theShowView release];
MNETMobAd *bannerObj = [[MNETMobAd alloc] init];
bannerObj.mainViewContObj = self;
[bannerObj showAd];
}
now for the ShowView class, try something like this :
//ShowView.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface ShowView : UIView <UIWebViewDelegate> {
}
#end
//ShowView.m
#import "ShowView.h"
#implementation ShowView
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self)
{
UIWebView *aWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, frame.size.width, frame.size.height)];
aWebView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
[aWebView setDelegate:self];
[self addSubview:aWebView];
NSString *urlAddress = #"http://localhost/test/index.php";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[aWebView loadRequest:requestObj];
[aWebView release];
}
return self;
}
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
NSLog(#"In shouldStartLoadWithRequest method for URL : %#",[request [URL absolutString]]);
if ([[[request URL] absoluteString] isEqual:#"http://localhost/test/index.php"])
return YES;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[request URL]];
return NO;
}
This should work, i didn't try it, i'll comeback tomorrow to try it if necessary.
