I just came to know about an awesome ios feature for UITextViews i.e UITextview dataDetectorTypes. It is really useful to display text as links.

However, I noticed one thing. When the string is a physical address, Google Map is opened which is appropriate, but in a different application.

Is there any way we can open that google map in our application and not go into default iOS application wherein map is opened? So that I can go back into my application from the map. Is there any delegate method which can control this? Right now I have to minimize the application(make it run in background) and again open it which does not looks good.

    You should use another solution for your problem.

    If you use dataDetectorTypes, the link is alway opened in built-in app firstly.

    You can make your action with button and custom string as below:

    • push your text into an UIButton.

    • make your text displayed as link with NSAtributedSring as this question, use UIButton instead of UITextView:

    Underline text inside uitextview

    • make action for your button when user click on it.

    Good luck!
