Make UIBarButtonItem open a link in safari? - iphone

Question

Hello I'm all new to the iPhone development thingy, so I would appreciate some help here.
I would like my UIBarButton to close the app and then open up a link in safari.
in the .h file
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface MoviesViewController : UIViewController {
IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *rightButton_;
}
- (void) goSafari;
#end
in the .m file
#import "MoviesViewController.h"
#implementation MoviesViewController
/*
// The designated initializer. Override if you create the controller programmatically and want to perform customization that is not appropriate for viewDidLoad.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
if ((self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil])) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
*/
/*
// Implement loadView to create a view hierarchy programmatically, without using a nib.
- (void)loadView {
}
*/
// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
rightButton_ = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(goSafari)]autorelease];
}
- (void) goSafari {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.google.com"]];
}
// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
return ((interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight));
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
// Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
- (void)viewDidUnload {
[super viewDidUnload];
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
// e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
}
#end

Your "gosafari" method implementation is incorrectly titled - should be "goSafari" to match the specified selector and method prototype.
