Load RubyMotion links from a UIWebView in Safari

webview.m

//Here's the same thing in Objective-C

#import "WebView.h"

@implementation WebView

@synthesize webView = _webView;

-(void) viewDidLoad
{
	[super viewDidLoad];

	UIWebView *webview = [[UIWebView alloc] init];
	webview.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
	[self.view addSubview:webview];
	
	self.title = @"Web View";
	NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"WebView" ofType:@"html"];  
	[_webView loadHTMLString:[NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil] baseURL:nil];
	_webView.delegate = self;
}

-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType
{
	if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked )
	{
		[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
		return NO;
	}  
	return YES;
}

@end

webview.rb

class WebViewController < UIViewController

  def viewDidLoad
    super

    self.title = "Web View"
    self.view = UIWebView.alloc.init
    view.delegate = self

    webviewContent = File.read(App.resources_path + "/WebView.html") #This requires Bubble-Wrap to be installed
    self.view.loadHTMLString(aboutContent, baseURL:nil)

  end

  #Open UIWebView delegate links in Safari.
  def webView(inWeb, shouldStartLoadWithRequest:inRequest, navigationType:inType)
    if inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked
      UIApplication.sharedApplication.openURL(inRequest.URL)
      false #don't allow the web view to load the link.
    end
    true #return true for local file loading.
  end

end

Does WebView in the ObjC example inherit from UIViewController?

Seems like the biggest difference between the two is that the RubyMotion code is assigning a value to self.view, and the WebView code is actually adding a subview.

The obj-c code is a subclass of UIViewController as well (can't tell because i didn't include the .h file). Honestly, i could have done it the exact same way in RubyMotion, but decided to jsut set the view as the alloc.init'd uiwebview instead of adding it as a subview.
