Question

I have a method like this:

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)aWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{        
    if ([request.URL.scheme isEqualToString:@"aaa"]) 
        openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"www.firstwebsite.com"];

    if ([request.URL.scheme isEqualToString:@"abc"]) 
        openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.someurl.com"];

    if ([request.URL.scheme isEqualToString:@"xyz"]) 
        openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.anothersite.com"];

    return YES;
}

and on the second and third uses of openURL I get a compile error: redefinition of label openURL

Any idea why that happens and how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Answer 1

This is because you should be using the “UIApplication” method openURL:.

In other words, instead of doing:

openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.anothersite.com"];

do

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.anothersite.com"]];
