Question

I need to get information on loaded data percentage when UIWebView loads page.

I know that UIWebView does not provide corresponding API.

I would like to know is there any workaround ?

One approach is to use an external framework (ASIHTTP, AFNetworking) that gives you some progress information to get the data, then load it into the UIWebView using – loadHTMLString:baseURL:.

ASIHTTP, although not actively developed anymore, has a very nice class for your case:

ASIWebPageRequest – download complete webpages, including external resources like images and stylesheets. Pages of any size can be indefinitely cached, and displayed in a UIWebview / WebView even when you have no network connection.
