I am working on a bookmarking feature for a book reader iOS app I have. The way it is setup now, the user scrolls through a view, and when they want to save, or bookmark their spot before they leave, they hit a save button on the bottom toolbar.
When they hit this save button, the saved action is called:
-(IBAction) savePlace:(id)sender{
int pageYOffset = [[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"window.pageYOffset"] intValue];
NSLog(@"%d Set Y Value", pageYOffset);
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setSavedSpot:pageYOffset];
}
Surprisingly enough, I have got this part working. I can hit the save button, the console will read say 200 for where I'm at on the screen, and then when I leave and come back, 200 is again printed out to the console thanks to this method that is called by NSUSerDefaults when the app loads:
- (void) setCurrentSpot:(NSUInteger)ySpot {
NSLog(@"%d Saved Y Value", ySpot);
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"window.scrollTo(0, %d);", ySpot]];
}
BUT! Nothing happens...I know for a fact that I am saving and correctly retrieving the correct Y-axis value, but when that JavaScript method is called, it won't fire.
To further complicate things, I went ahead and made a custom IBAction that accesses that same ySpot value, and used the exact same JavaScript method to move the view to position 200, and it works perfectly!
What am I missing? I don't see what is going on. Thanks
