open url when press label

[dorkauf]

Hello,

I need a url to open up in safari when the user press on a label.

What do I need to do?

Thanks. :]

UILabels don't have any methods for triggering events when they are clicked, but you can detect a click manually like this...

//Triggered when the screen is touched
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
//If touch location is inside the label then...
if (CGRectContainsPoint(label.frame, [[[event allTouches] anyObject] locationInView:mainView]))
{
//Open webpage
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]];
}
}

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"your url"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

what do i need to write instead of the mainView?

"mainView" is a UIView object that represents your main view or whatever view your working in. To create it, go into interface builder and create a new outlet called "mainView" an connect it with your view, then save and write the class files.
