Question

I have a NSTimer that calls this method every second or so so i can update a URL label

-(void)update {
NSString *currentURL = theView.request.URL.absoluteString;
theURL.text = currentURL;
}

I really dont like using a timer, it works but i would rather have it change only once the web views url changes, are there any methods for this?

Answer 1

UIWebView has delegate that being called every-time webview start another url.

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    NSString *currentURL = [[request URL] absoluteString] ;

    return YES;
}

But remember, to set delegate into your webview.
