Any idea how to call and send parameters to JS function from OBJ-C ??
Lets say in my html I have JS
function showPieChart (parameter1, parameter2) { ... }
and from my obj c class in viewDidLoad I want to call this function. Any idea or examples ? Thanks in advance...
Add this in the webViewDidFinishLoad: of the UIWebViewDelegate:
NSString *functionCall = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"showPieChart(%@,%@)", param1, param2];
NSString *result = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:functionCall];
To set a view controller as delegate of a UIWebView, you have to add the <UIWebViewDelegate> protocol to the @interface header and link the delegate field of the UIWebView to the view controller.
If your parameters are inside an array, you can extract them one by one with [array objectForIndex:i] (i being the index for each parameter) or all at once with componentsJoinedByString:
NSArray *params = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"a",@"b",nil];
NSString *functionCall = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"showPieChart(%@)", [params componentsJoinedByString:@","]];
1) Implement the UIWebViewDelegate
2) Override the
-(BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)aWebView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType method..
3) In this method you compare the request with a protocole defined.
Example:
NSString *requestString = [[request URL] absoluteString]; NSArray *components = [requestString componentsSeparatedByString:@":"];
if ([components count] > 1 &&
[(NSString *)[components objectAtIndex:0] isEqualToString:@"myapp"]) {
if([(NSString *)[components objectAtIndex:1] isEqualToString:@"myfunction"])
{
NSLog([components objectAtIndex:2]); // param1
NSLog([components objectAtIndex:3]); // param2
// Call your method in Objective-C method using the above...
}
return NO;
}
4) modify your javascript file to create the protocole:
function showPieChart(parameter1,parameter2) { window.location="myapp:" + "myfunction:" + param1 + ":" + param2;
}

I'm guessing you have a UIWebView with a web page loaded. To execute JavaScript, do this:
NSString *result = [_webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"showPieChart()"];
