I'm using Interface Builder to layout my app. I have a UITextView that contains some text, part of which is a URL that I'd like to make clickable (e.g. launches a browser). I've read up on how to do this and believe I'm doing it correctly, however while the URL appears blue/clickable, clicking it in the iPhone emulator doesn't work. Nothing happens.
My controller:
@interface FirstViewController : UIViewController <UISearchBarDelegate> @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextView *review; @end
In my implementation I @synthesize review;
(and am able to manipulate the view's text, so don't think that's the issue).
In IB I have:
..then later when I go to set the text (and attempt to make URLs in the view clickable) I do:
self.review.text = content; // My understanding is that this makes URLs clickable... self.review.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeLink;
...which displays something like:
...which really looks like it wants to work, however when clicking the URL nothing happens. What am I missing?
--UPDATE--
Tried adding self.review.editable = NO;
in response to Dixit Patel's answer, but it didn't fix the issue:
self.review.text = content; // My understanding is that this makes URLs clickable... self.review.editable = NO; self.review.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeLink;
Check the "Selectable" and "Links" checkboxes in the textview Attributes Inspector:
