how to detect link in UIWebview?

Hi friends,
Again I'm here to share something new with you.. If you want to do some operations on URL click in UIWebview of iPhone/iPod/iPad then you need to use the below delegate method of UIWebview. You have to set WebViewDelegate in header file of your class.


#pragma mark-------------------------
#pragma mark WebView Delegate Method

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    NSURL *url = request.URL;
    NSString *urlString = url.relativeString;
    NSLog(@"%@",urlString);
    NSLog(@"%@",[request.URL lastPathComponent]);
    if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked)
    {
        if([[urlString substringToIndex:5] isEqualToString:@"https"] || [[urlString substringToIndex:5] isEqualToString:@"http:"])
        {
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: urlString]];
        }
        else
        {
               // do your operation within Application
        }
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}

Hope you like this..
