UIWebView open links in Safari
I have a very simple UIWebView with content from my application bundle. I would like any links in the web view to open in Safari instead of in the web view. Is this possible?
One quick comment to user306253's answer: caution with this, when you try to load something in the UIWebView yourself (i.e. even from the code), this method will prevent it to happened.
Add this to the UIWebView delegate:
ReplyDelete(edited to check for navigation type. you could also pass through file:// requests which would be relative links)
-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType {
if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
return NO;
}
return YES;
}

ReplyDeleteWhat you can do to prevent this (thanks Wade) is:
if (inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
return NO;
}
return YES;
You might also want to handle the UIWebViewNavigationTypeFormSubmitted and UIWebViewNavigationTypeFormResubmitted types.
