Iphone : Getting the Form Param using UIWebView

Question

Hi all,

I'm working on a app which will use a uiwebview to submit a form. I wonder if it's possible to catch the post and parameters then reuse them to set a calendar event for ex.

I mean : - fill the form (in webview) - submit the form (in webview) - catch form parameters and fill calendar event (native iphone framework).

Is it possible ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Set the delegate for the UIWebView to your view controller, then implement the webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: method of the UIWebViewDelegate protocol. you can return NO from that to stop the actual page load and use it to grab the attempted web request.

I think that will do what you want.

Answer 2

Try overriding method in your UIWebViewDelegate

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

It is send before a web view begins loading content. From request you should be able to get post parameters
