Question

I need some sample code to check if the page is ‘file’, ‘http’ or ‘www’ on the page load. At the moment the code is as follows;

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

    //CAPTURE USER LINK-CLICK.
    if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked) {
        NSURL *URL = [request URL];   
        if ([[URL scheme] isEqualToString:@"file"])  {
            [webView loadRequest:request];
            [homebutton setHidden:YES];
            NSLog(@"Opened File");
            return NO;
        }

        else if ([[URL scheme] isEqualToString:@"http"]) {
            [webView loadRequest:request];
            [homebutton setHidden:NO];
            NSLog(@"Opened External Page");
            return NO;
        }

        else if ([[URL scheme] isEqualToString:@"www"]) {
            [webView loadRequest:request];
            [homebutton setHidden:NO];
            NSLog(@"Opened External Page");
            return NO;
        }
    }        
    return YES;  
}

I want it based around this but this is only when a link is clicked and I want it to apply when a form is filled out and then the form redirects to another page etc…

I would really appreciate a quick answer,

Thank you very much,

Probably you need to check out the various UIWebViewNavigationType listed in the “constants” section here
