Question

I have followed many tutorials and my links in my web view are still not opening up in safari.
I am a noob, this is my first IPhone App, so I hope I’m just missing something simple.

#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController
@synthesize webView;

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked)
    {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}


- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}

#pragma mark - View lifecycle

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://somewebsite.com/iphone.html"]]];


    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

- (void)viewDidDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
}

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
        return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
    } else {
        return YES;
    }
}

@end

And here is my Header File

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController<UIWebViewDelegate,UIAlertViewDelegate>{
   IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
}


@property(nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;

@end

Answer 1

Does the shouldStartLoadWithRequest method fire? It may be that you haven’t connected the delegate in your nib file. Usually this will be connected to your view controller, or whatever file the shouldStartLoadWithRequest method is found in.
