How do I add a hyperlink in my app?

Question

I've tried a number of methods:

• A UIWebView doesn't do the trick because I've got a textured background, and the UIWebView doesn't do transparent backgrounds.
• A UITextView - seems like a really good option. I've got it auto detecting my hyperlink, but it overrides my link colour with blue. :(
• I've looked at the Three20 code - this looks overly complex.

I was thinking, is there a way to make a UIButton look like text? This'd probably be perfect.

This is really annoying, seems that almost every app does this, yet I can't find out how it's done.

Answer 1

UIWebView does allow transparent backgrounds.

I use this in my app, Pocket Tabs.

webView.opaque = NO;
webView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
