CLLocation and UIWebView???

[itsallgood]

Hi all,

Is it possible to get the current gps position with CLLocation save it locally with Local Storage -- then read it from a page using javascript within UIWebView.

Or is it possible to get CLLocation to give the page within a UIWebView the gps position without refreshing the page?

Thanks for the help!

Hang on...

After a bit more reading on the web -- have i been looking into this too much?!


Could i simply pass the gps position to a UIWebView by calling a javascript function from within the Objective-C???

Using this guide:

WebKit Objective-C Programming Guide: Using JavaScript From Objective-C

or this:

Scripting with JavaScript in Cocoa

Could i have a page on my server, called page.html

with the javascript function:

function hello(gps1,gps2){
alert("hi" + gps1 )
}

then load it in the UIWebView, then in my iphone app call it somehow and pass the gps???


Cheers again for reading!

pass the location as a querystring to the url you are displaying...

Cheers mbruun! Thanks for the reply

I'm really trying not to refresh the page, just update some javascript variables. So they are there when i need them (using ajax)

Would your method be able to just update some javascript variables??? without a page refresh being needed.


Sorry for not testing it myself -- i do not own a mac yet (so cannot use xcode).

I'm going to buy a mac this week if i think i'll be able to make the iphone app i want.

Thanks again
