I just want to open a webpage providing an URL. My code is:
void openURL(char const *message)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:message]];
}
And the error I get is:
cannot initialize a parameter of type 'NSString *' with an lvalue of type 'const char *'
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:message]];
I am not familiar with Objective-C nor learning it. I just need to use this simple code in a project.
One solution is to convert message to NSString, like this:
void openURL(char const *message)
{
NSString *messageStr = [NSString stringWithCString:message
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:messageStr]];
}
Another solution is to pass NSString (this wold require constructing NSStrings in all places where openURL is called:
void openURL(NSString *message)
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:message]];
}
Try to convert char array to nsstring object first and then make url of that string.
likebelow:-
void openURL(char const message)
{
NSString s = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:buffer length:sizeof(message) encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:s]];
}
