A URL aware TextView for iOS
Just copy over MSTextView.m and MSTextView.h into your project folder and you're all set.
Make sure to include the header file "MSTextView.h" and use the protocol <MSTextViewDelegate> which is necessary for responding to your code when the user selects a link. The sample project has everything you need to get you started, or check out the code below.
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
NSString *sample = @"Check out my GitHub page http://github.com/marksands or go to http://google.com instead. \
Optionally, try out a news site such as http://yahoo.com or http://cnn.com";
MSTextView *textView = [[[MSTextView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 310, 480)] autorelease];
textView.delegate = self;
textView.text = sample;
[self.view addSubview:textView];
}
- (void) handleURL:(NSURL*)url
{
WebViewController *webview = [[WebViewController alloc] initWithURL:url];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:webview animated:YES];
[webview release];
}
