Im creating an RSS reader app…but I have noticed that UIWebView renders the RSS

  • 0

Im creating an RSS reader app…but I have noticed that UIWebView renders the RSS feed very differently than Safari does.

This is the RSS feed…
http://www.sigmapi2.org/index.php?option=com_ninjarsssyndicator&feed_id=2&format=raw

This is what I want my UIWebView to look like…this is a screenshot from iOS’ Mobile Safari
enter image description here

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.sigmapi2.org/index.php?option=com_ninjarsssyndicator&feed_id=1&format=raw"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView1 loadRequest:request];}

produces a blank page in the UIWebView

And this code below…(Address taken from mobile safari when it loaded the RSS feed like I wanted it to)…

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://reader.mac.com/mobile/v1/www.sigmapi2.org/index.php?option=com_ninjarsssyndicator&feed_id=1&format=raw"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView1 loadRequest:request];}

shows this…
enter image description here

any help would greatly be appreciated.

    You need to create an XML Parser. The UIWebView does not have the same capabilities as Safari. The best XML parser I found is here: https://github.com/mwaterfall/MWFeedParser
