Question

I am using the code below to detect a link tap on my uiwebview. Is there a way to get the text of the link that has been tapped by the user?

    - (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
    NSLog(@"link tapped");
    if(navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked) {


        //if (overrideLinksSwitch.on == TRUE) {
             NSLog(@"navigation link tapped");
          //  [self myMethodAction];

          //  [myWebView stopLoading];
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:linktapped]];
            return NO;
        }



    return YES;
}

Any help appreciated.

NSURLRequest has a URL property. NSURLRequest

Just get the URL from the request object in your method.
