Downloading files from UIWebView-Help!

Eli · 06-07-2011, 02:30 PM

I am stuck on a problem that I need for my application to even work correctly. I need to download files from a UIWebView. My app has a tab-bar and there are three tabs on the tab-bar. Each tab shows a UIWebView that links to my AppStore themes site. Navigating through my site, there is an option to download files to your device on certain pages. How can a UIWebView accomplish detecting my link that is linked to a '.zip' file and download it to /var/mobile/Documents/ on my IPhone. My device is Jailbroken if that is what is required. I am new to objective-c programming, so please don't expect me to understand everything that you are saying.

Thanks,
Eli

Look at some of the webview delegate methods. Probably the

Code:

webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:

You can check if the link is to a zip file, and then use NSURLConnection to download the file.
