UIWebView in IOS 8 tables are not showing correctly - macos

we recently upgraded to IOS 8 (and compiled the application).
we saw that tables with text are not showing well anymore (we use UIWebView).
did anyone encounter this? is this a known issue or a bug?
this is the code:
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *viewWeb;
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
NSString* fullPath = #"/Users/deployment/Downloads/table-2.ppt";
[_viewWeb loadData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:fullPath] MIMEType:#"application/vnd.ms-powerpoint" textEncodingName:nil baseURL:nil];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#end
thanks!

Are you tried this code...?
UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10.0,10.0,300,300)];
[webView setScalesPageToFit:YES];
webView.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
NSString *ppt = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"test" ofType:#"ppt"];
NSURL *pptURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:ppt];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:pptURL];
[webView loadRequest:request];
[self.view addSubview:webView];
If this code also not worked with your ppt file. Please share your ppt file too. This code working in my case. May be some issue with presentation file.

UIWebView that is added programmatically not scrolling

If I add a uiwebview using storyboard it works great. But webviews that is added programmatically not scrolling.
self.webview=[[UIWebView alloc] init];
path=[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"index" ofType:#"html"];
[self.webview setFrame:CGRectMake(-200, 0, 200, 300)];
[self.webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]]];
[self.view addSubview:self.webview];
UIWebview is added to a View programmatically using the below code:
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
UIWebView *webview=[[UIWebView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.view.frame.origin.x, self.view.frame.origin.y, self.view.frame.size.width,600)];
[webview setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
NSString *url=#"http://www.facebook.com";
NSURL *nsurl=[NSURL URLWithString:url];
NSURLRequest *nsrequest=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:nsurl];
[webview loadRequest:nsrequest];
[self.view addSubview:webview];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.

UIWebView not loading content when it is passed from an UITableView in iOS6, but works perfectly in iOS5

First of all I would like to thank you reading this and helping me out if you know the answer, I am a bit of a newby to iOS and there is an issue that is driving me crazy.
I have an App that works perfectly in iOS5, it has an UITableVIewController and clicking on a row takes you to an UIView with a UIWebView. The idea is that the URL of the webpage to load is passed from the UITableViewController in this way.
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if (([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"ViewWeb"])) {
WebViewController *detailViewController = [segue destinationViewController];
detailViewController.title=parameter;
detailViewController.detailItem = parameterURL;
}
}
Then in the WebViewController I use the following code. I declare everything in the .h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface WebViewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate>{
IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
NSString *detailItem;
}
#property(strong,nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *detailItem;
#end
And In my .m I use the following code to load the URL:
#interface WebViewController ()
#end
#implementation WebViewController
#synthesize webView;
#synthesize detailItem;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//Create a URL object.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:detailItem];
//URL Requst Object
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
//Load the request in the UIWebView.
[webView loadRequest:requestObj];
}
This is working perfectly fine in the iOS5 simulator, but in iOS6, the UIWebWiew remains blank and doesn't load up. I have read this solution UIWebView not loading URL when URL is passed from UITableView but placing the code in the (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated does not solve the issue. It works perfectly fine if I hard code the URL, so I am totally lost as to how to solve this.
Thank you very much in advance, I know everyone here is really busy and the fact that great guys take a few minutes to hep me is something amazing.

Load UIView defined in XIB into UIView

following a post presented here, I tried to load a view defined in a XIB file into a view, currently being displayed. Basically, what I want to do is to replace the middle view (see screenshot below) with a different view when the user clicks on the button.
This is the simple view I want to load into the middle view:
And this is the source code of the ViewController:
ViewController.h
#import
#interface ViewController : UIViewController
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *loadxibButton;
#property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *middleView;
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender;
#end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"click...");
NSArray *nibObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"NewMiddleContent" owner:self options:nil];
UIView *nibView = [nibObjects objectAtIndex:0];
self.middleView= nibView;
}
#end
When I click on the button, nothing happens, i.e. the new view will not be displayed. Can anybody please help?
Thanks a lot
Christian
Phillip, thanks a lot!
Instead of
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender {
NSArray *nibObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"NewMiddleContent" owner:self options:nil];
UIView *nibView = [nibObjects objectAtIndex:0];
self.middleView= nibView;
}
I now use this code:
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender {
NSArray *nibObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"NewMiddleContent" owner:self options:nil];
UIView *nibView = [nibObjects objectAtIndex:0];
nibView.frame = CGRectMake(261, 0, 532, 748);
[[[self view] viewWithTag:2] removeFromSuperview];
[[self view] addSubview:nibView];
}
Is this want you meant, i.e. is this like "best practice"?
Bye
Christian
Your view controller has a view property which, presumably, has three subviews (left, middle, and right). Instead of just setting a middleView property in your controller, your strategy should be to update the primary view's subviews array (removing the one that's to be replaced and inserting the new one).

XCode Prevent UIWebView flashing white screen after Launch Image

I am fairly new to XCode - I'm designing an app with a single view that just displays a UIWebView that loads my jQuery mobile web site.
I have the Default.png and Default#2x.png files for the Launch images in place. When I run the app on my test device or in the emulator, it shows my Launch Image, and then flashes a white screen while the UIWebView loads the first page.
I know that I can change the background color and opacity so it will flash a different color than white, but I would like to prevent the flash altogether. I would like the app to launch, show the Launch image, and not show the UIWebView until the first page has completely loaded. Help?
# Andreas Volz (and anyone else wondering how I solved the problem of the white "flash")
First, add the name-of-loading-image.png and name-of-loading-image#2x.png files to your Xcode project. The regular image should be 320 x 460, and the #2x image should be 640 x 920.
Then, in my ViewController.h file I added these properties:
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIWebView *webView;
#property(nonatomic, strong) UIImageView *loadingImageView;
#end
And then in my ViewController.m file I added this:
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#end
#implementation ViewController;
#synthesize webView;
#synthesize loadingImageView;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//**************** Set website URL for UIWebView
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.example.com"] cachePolicy:NSURLCacheStorageAllowed timeoutInterval:20.0]];
//**************** Add Static loading image to prevent white "flash" ****************/
UIImage *loadingImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"name-of-loading-image.png"];
loadingImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:loadingImage];
loadingImageView.animationImages = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"name-of-loading-image.png"],
nil];
[self.view addSubview:loadingImageView];
}
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
// Remove loading image from view
[loadingImageView removeFromSuperview];
}
To know when your webView has finished loading, you must implement the UIWebViewDelegate protocol.
In your viewController's .h file:
#interface viewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate>
{
UIWebView *webView;
}
#end
Then in your viewController's .m file, add this method:
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
NSLog(#"content loading finished");
// Display your webView
[self.view addSubview:webView];
}
You can use the -viewDidLoad method in your viewController's .m to continue displaying your launch image. You can also begin the loading of content for your webView:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// continue to display launch image
UIImage *launchImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"launchImage.png" ofType:nil ]];
UIImageView *launchImageView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:launchImage] autorelease];
[self.view addSubview:launchImageView];
// now setup the base view for the webView controller
UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];
contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
// for rotation
contentView.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
self.view = contentView;
//create a frame to size and place the web view
CGRect webFrame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
UIWebView *aWebView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:webFrame];
self.webView = aWebView;
//aWebView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
aWebView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
aWebView.autoresizingMask=(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth);
//set the web view delegates for the web view to be itself
[aWebView setDelegate:self];
//determine the path the to the index.html file in the Resources directory
NSURL *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:#"index" withExtension:#"html"];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[aWebView loadRequest:requestObj];
}

Load a PDF from internet in xcode

I have a view controller that has a UIWebView object within it.
I would like to load and display a PDF from the internet within the UIWebView.
I have the code working to display the a PDF loaded from the resource bundle, but i am lost on having the PDF loaded from the internet.
I was thinking it would be as simple as changing the fileURLWithPath to point to the location on the internet... although the form displays, it does not show the contents. So I am assuming that I have the wrong URL in the string???
Does anyone have a code snippet to load and display a PDF from the internet within a UIWebView that they would be willing to share???
thanks
tony
I take it you are looking at iOS stuff, not Mac. On iOS, it should really be just as simple as
NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[aWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
Use the following for xCode 5.
Interface section - myWebView is the outlet to the UIWebView in my storyboard.
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *myWebView;
#property NSURL *url;
The rest goes into viewDidLoad section of the ViewController class.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
_url = [[NSURL alloc] init];
_url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/FeedEnclosure/utah.edu.1668842900.01668842919.1681195338/enclosure.pdf"];
[_myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL: _url]];
}
This worked for me but there maybe a more efficient way of doing this.
Here is how i implemented it....
visitNoteViewController *controller = [[visitNoteViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"visitNoteView" bundle:nil];
NSArray *documentPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
controller.pdfUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/FeedEnclosure/utah.edu.1668842900.01668842919.1681195338/enclosure.pdf"];
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
got it working.
