I've been trying to insert a little webview (320x480) inside my iPad app, to simulate a little "iPhone screen" displaying mobile twitter. But, every time uiwebview gets an NSUrlRequest to load http://mobile.twitter.com, my app automatically gets ripped off the screen, and iOS opens Twitter for iPad.
Is there any way to change that behavior?
Here's what I'm doing:
UIWebView *viewDoTwitter = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, self.view.bounds.size.height)];
viewDoTwitter.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
viewDoTwitter.scalesPageToFit = YES;
[rootView insertSubview:viewDoTwitter atIndex:0];
[viewDoTwitter loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://mobile.twitter.com"]]];
EDITED:
OK, I found the solution, here: http://www.mphweb.com/en/blog/easily-set-user-agent-uiwebview
UIWebView *viewDoTwitter = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, self.view.bounds.size.height)];
viewDoTwitter.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
viewDoTwitter.scalesPageToFit = YES;
NSDictionary *dictionnary = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 5_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A334 Safari/7534.48.3", @"UserAgent", nil];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:dictionnary];
[rootView insertSubview:viewDoTwitter atIndex:0];
[viewDoTwitter loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://m.twitter.com"]]];
But, now facing a new problem: mobile.twitter.com insists to adapt to the size of the iPad screen, instead of the 320 pixels width I specified.
If you are doing it like this, you shouldn't be redirected
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://mobile.twitter.com"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:request];
}
The behavior you described is achievable by this line of code (redirects):
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
