I want to make a button in an UIAlertView
that opens a Wikipedia page, with a subject stored in my array "array"
Here is how I'm doing it.
Wikipedia follows the format of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<subject>
. In my array, I have text entries of subjects. I want it to open in mobile Safari when tapped. So far, no luck :(
Help please. Any insight would be appreciated.
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{
if (buttonIndex == 1) {
NSString *myString = [[NSString alloc] init];
myString = [array objectAtIndex:myInteger];
NSURL *theURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"];
NSString *halfURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", theURL];
NSString *fullURL = [halfURL stringByAppendingString:myString];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:fullURL ]];
}
