Question

How can I detect when a user clicked an external link and safari is going to open.

Instead I would like to catch this event and create a UIWebView inside my application. Is this possible with vfr/reader?

EDIT:

I found out that vfr/reader does this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:target];

Is there away to NOT modify vfr/reader and customize the behavior?

Answer 1

You’re talking about the Open Source vfr/reader code, right?

Why couldn’t you just replace the openURL:target call that it uses with a [yourAppDelegate openURLInMyBuiltInUIWebView: target] method instead?

Or, since you’re saying you don’t want to modify the vfr/reader code, perhaps you could subclass UIApplication and replace the openURL:target call to do what you want.

Here is a related question that might help you do that.
