open modal view from webview

[kushalkh]

Hey Guys,

I have an app which adds a webview as a subview of the main UIViewController. I want to intercept the links clicked in this webview and open them in a new UIViewController (as modal view or navigationController).
For this new UIViewController, i am using https://github.com/samvermette/SVWebViewController which is an inline browser class and works pretty well.

I am able to intercept clicks from that webview just fine in webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType. But my problem is that it is not able to open the new UIViewController (SVWebViewController). Following is the code to intercept clicks in the webView and open it :

- (BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType {

if(inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked) {

NSURL *url = [inRequest URL];

NSString *fname = [url absoluteString];

SVWebViewController *webViewController = [[SVWebViewController alloc] initWithAddress:fname];

[self presentModalViewController:webViewController animated:YES];

[webViewController release];

return NO;

}

return YES;

}

There is no issue in SVWebViewController, it works fine when i call it from the main UIView but not when i use it to open clicks from the webView.

Thanks for your help!!
