How to open a UITextView URL in UI Web View?

Question

Hi there,

In my iPhone app an UITextView is containing an URL. I want to open this URL in an UIWebView instead of opening it into safari? My UITextView contains some data along with an URL. In some cases the no. of URLs can be more than one.

Thanks Sandy

Assuming you have the following instances, that are also added to your UIView:

UITextView *textView;
UIWebView *webView;

and textView contains the URL string, you can load the contents of the URL into webView, as follows:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:textView.text];
NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:req];
