JavaScript in WebView?

[starwarsdevwookie59]

Hi everyone. I need to stream videos... Using Brightcove.

They use a media player that provides javascript code to playing videos that use their player on the iPhone. The code is in javascript. Here's a link with it:

iPhone Video Portal Sample Application | Brightcove Developer

I figure I should be able to use a UIWebView to run the script... somehow.

Any ideas? Help would be amazing... Thanks in advance!

In other words, how do I run javascript within an iPhone app.

Put the javascript in the app bundle and point your nsurl request at the appbundle.

you could use a loadHtml to load your uiwebview.

Thats how the shared browser here works.

Thanks so much for your reply!

I was able to get the index.html to load in the webview and use the sources. here's the code I ended up using:

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html"];
NSData *htmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
if (htmlData) {
NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle]; NSString *path = [bundle bundlePath]; NSString *fullPath = [NSBundle pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html" inDirectoryath];
[web loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:fullPath]]]; }


I got it to load in the webview, just one problem... IT DOESNT RESPOND TO ANYTHING. It loads great with all the images and such, just when i click/touch something, it doesn't do anything.

Any help is appreciated. thanks.

I feel particularly generous today, here's my code that works.. I think you are missing the base uril for one thing.

NSString *filePathString = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html"];
NSMutableString *html = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: filePathString];
[html replaceOccurrencesOfString: @"urlvar" withString:urlString
options: NSLiteralSearch range: NSMakeRange(0, [html length])];
// NSLog(html);
NSURL *aURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePathString];
[webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:aURL];

Could u please post the solution here, cause without an access to the devforum I cant read it. And I find it necessary to get my webapp working on the simulator as an native app (I tried it the same as u did) before I pay to use the Developerprogram.

Thx in advance.
