Question

I have a native iPhone app loading a cached jQTouch web app inside UIWebView. How can elements within the jQTouch app seamlessly link to elements and actions in the native app (if at all)?

When loading a web app page, a link when pressed, sends an id to the native app.

Answer 1

Yes !

The best way to do a such thing is to implement a UIWebView delegate.

Then you choose an event url scheme (like http://id:123/click/ )

And just parse the URL in this method :

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

You can check the URL value with :

[request.URL absoluteString]
