I have this method that goes back to previous webpage in a web view under certain circumstance and it works fine. However, I want to implement a function that checks if I am on the original web page and if so, when I push the back button it takes me to a navigation view controller. The original page is this code [webView loadHTMLString:self.item.description baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:self.item.link]];. Now I need to figure out how to check if I am on that page and if so I need to execute this code: [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
. Any help will be appreciated.
- (void)back
{
if ([webView canGoBack]) {
[webView goBack];
} else {
[webView loadHTMLString:self.item.description baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:self.item.link]];
}
}
You can use the delegate method shouldStartLoadWithRequest
of UIWebViewDelegate
to check what contains in the url. if you find it then just go NavigationController
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
if ([[request.URL absoluteString] rangeOfString:@"http://yourURL"].location!=NSNotFound) {
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];.
}
}
You need to add
<UIWebViewDelegate>
to the header. Then set webView.delegate to yes;
Once you have it set as a delegate, then you can get the absoluteString and the requestURL, and override the method. With the absoluteString you can check for a substring, text, domain, basically anything you want! You override shouldStartLoadWithRequest or webViewDidFinishLoad:
-(void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
-(void)shouldStartLoadWithRequest :(UIWebView *)webView
That calls everytime any webpage is loaded.
