In my app I need to send an array from Objective C to javascript. I read on the web that I can use this instruction: stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString, also i made so:
Objective C snippet
NSMutableArray *names = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
NSMutableArray *srcs = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
for (int i = 0; i < [site count]; i++) {
NSDictionary *dictData = [site objectAtIndex:i];
[names addObject:[dictData objectForKey:@"name"]];
[srcs addObject:[dictData objectForKey:@"src"]];
}
// UPDATE
NSData *jsonArray = [self arrayToJson:nameSrc];
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:jsonArray encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *econdedString = [self base64String:jsonString];
NSString *jsCall = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"dataFromObjC(\"%@\")", econdedString];
[self.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsCall];
So in javascript I made a function that has this name dataFromObjC(names, srcs), but it doesn't shows me the alert I made.
I will post here the complete code of my html so you can help me to solve this problem.

I hope that you can help me.

First, encode your data to a JSON string instead of a plain string, before sending it to JS. You can do this with NSJSONSerialization.
- (NSData *) arrayToJSON:(NSArray *) inputArray
{
NSError *error = nil;
id result = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:inputArray
options:kNilOptions error:&error];
if (error != nil) return nil;
return result;
}
Send it to JS with stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:. Optionally, I would recommend you to encode the string with Base64, to avoid problems with special characters.
// Convert your array to JSON data
NSData *jsonArray = [self arrayToJSON: yourArray];
// Pass the JSON to an UTF8 string
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonArray
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// Base64 encode the string to avoid problems
NSString *encodedString = [Base64 encode:jsonString];
// Evaluate your JavaScript function with the encoded string as input
NSString *jsCall = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"yourJsFunction(\"%@\")", encodedString];
[self.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsCall];
Once in JS, parse the JSON string to an object (optionally, remember to decode it if you encode first).
function yourJsFunction(encodedArray)
{
// Decode and parse the received input
var jsonString = Base64.decode(encodedArray);
var arrayFromiOS = JSON.parse(jsonString);
}
UPDATE: About Base64 utilities for iOS and JS, Internet is plenty of examples of functions and libraries, like these ones for iOS and these other ones for JS. You can choose the one you prefer.
