opening an URL in safari while iPhone button is clicked

Question

Hello,

I want to add a button to my iPhone application which will open an URL in safari on iPhone when clicked (my application will terminate right?)

Thanks.

Answer 1

Your app will close if you are simply opening in Safari.

You can, however, use a WebView control to embed the web browser in your app. This way your app will not terminate.

Answer 2

You need to use - (BOOL)openURL:(NSURL *)url in UIApplication.

UIApplication is a singleton, so your code would look something like this:

NSURL *url;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
