An iPhone/iPad simple web browser controller with navigation controls and sharing features:
- Progress bar embeded on the navigation bar (optional).
- Navigation bar shows title animated, à la Twitter official app.
- Sharing options like posting on Twitter, Facebook, Mail, etc. (optional).
- Long press gesture for capturing links and images (optional).
- Customizable toolbar icons.
- Localization support.
- NSURLCache support.
DZWebBrowser uses ARC and supports iOS6 and superior. Also support multiple orientations.
Some additonal feature ideas:
- iOS7 support
- Hide NavigationBar & ToolBar for larger screen real estate (à la Safari App).
- Optional way of searching a custom URL from the NavigationBar.
- Keywords auto-completion when searching on bar.
- Reload page.
Feel free to fork it and make it more interesting!
Available in Cocoa Pods
pod 'DZWebBrowser', '~> 0.0.1'
It is very easy to add DZWebBrowser to your projects. Take a look into the sample project. Hopefully you saved a couple of hours!
Import "DZWebBrowser.h" to your view controller subclass.
If not installed with Cocoa Pods:
Import Apple's SystemConfiguration, CFNetwork, MessageUI and Social frameworks.
Create a new instance of DZWebBrowser and initialize with a NSURL. You also need to embed the view controller into a UINavigationController.
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/"];
DZWebBrowser *webBrowser = [[DZWebBrowser alloc] initBrowserWithURL:URL];
webBrowser.showProgress = YES;
webBrowser.allowSharing = YES;
webBrowser.resourceBundleName = @"custom-controls";
UINavigationController *webBrowserNC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:webBrowser];
[self presentViewController:webBrowserNC animated:YES completion:NULL];
DZWebBrowser requires third party frameworks, if not installed with Cocoa Pods you must add them as submodules:
- Apple's Reachability, but the ARC version from Tony Million.
- NJKWebViewProgress from Satoshi Asano.
- SDURLCache from Olivier Poitrey
