Objective-c – UIWebView doesn’t respond to link-taps when the link goes to a different domain

iphoneobjective c

I load a page, saw on twitter, using a line like this:

[self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://twitter.com/OGOchoCinco"]]];

The page shows up fine. If the user now taps on a link that brings them somewhere else within twitter, she is brought to that page. However, if the link goes to http://twitpic.com, the web view simply doesn't respond. If the user clicks on a twitter.com link again, the browser follows that without a problem.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've been able to browse across different domains in my app, so that may not be the problem.

However, the links in a twitter feed seem to target a new browser tab/window, which doesn't work with UIWebView.

See Opening popup links in UIWebView, possible? for potential workarounds.

I would use the following line, to see that the response is actually the OK string, cause it may contain white space or other characters.

NSLog(@"string1 = '%@' temp = '%@'", string1, temp);

put this line before the if statement like this...

NSString *string1 = @"OK";
NSLog(@"string1 = '%@' temp = '%@'", string1, temp);
if([string1 isEqualToString:temp]){   // HERE IS THE PROBLEM, THE STRINGS ARE NOT GETTIN COMPARED

If extra whitespace is the reason why the comparison is failing then you can trim whitespace from you string by using the following method:

+(NSString *)trim:(NSString *)value {
    return [value stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];
}
