I have a UIWebView with detect phone numbers unchecked. However, it keeps underlining the numbers in this text:
Version: 2.1 3.19.2009
The text isn't in an anchor or anything. Is there a way to force the UIWebView to not detect phone numbers?
Try
webview.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeNone;
It looks like there is a problem with Interface Builder's UIWebView attributes palette; the "Detects Phone Numbers" checkbox does not seem to have any affect. Examining the UIWebView's detectsPhoneNumbers property at runtime shows that it was not actually modified by IB.
For now, setting the detectsPhoneNumbers property in code to "NO" will work fine. The problem is only with the IB palette.
Unless we're both missing something, this is a bug. I'd suggest filing it at http://bugreport.apple.com/. Additionally, you can post it at http://openradar.appspot.com/ if you'd like to make it visible to other developers.
Swift 3+ programmatically
webView.dataDetectorTypes = []
[webview setDetectsPhoneNumbers:NO];
It will work for you.....

In iOS 8 on iPad device, i tried to set UITextView text in Code file. It just compresses the text size. Event i have tried this one.
myTextView.text = myTextView.text
It also compressed the text size. I don't know why UITextview is behaving like this in iOS 8
OR is this because XCode-6 is of Beta version and may have bugs?
OMG! I can't believe it. I've disabled the UITextView's Selectable propery in Interface Builder. When i enabled it again. It just resolved the issue.
Although, i have resolved the issue, but it has left a question for me. Is this Apple's issue or of something else?
I have multi-selection dialog(drop-down) in Android where user selects all options applicable to him in registration page.What can be used in Iphone for the same purpose ?
And selecting a few options will unhide few textfields which is mandatory to fill.
Let me know what can be my approach.Please share any open source code links.
Thanks in advance.
No, there is no such thing within the iOS SDK and that is for a good reason - those elements are just not pretty, funky and usable well enough when acting on a touch display.
Consider using UIPickerView or UISegmentedControl instead. Maybe also have a look at Action Sheet.
i want to use UILabel with link.
for that i am using IFTweetLabel which is finding any link and showing a line under it and it is clickable.
but if a string is big then only first line is getting hyperlink instead of complete URL.
as an issue with https://github.com/clawoo/IFTweetLabel/issues/3.
so is there any other option for it , or other library ?
First you have to import RegexKitLite framework. Go through this link. Surely this will help you. It gives same thing as you want.
http://furbo.org/stuff/FancyLabel_1.0.zip
First thing I would like to suggest is
Use UITextView with editing property as NO and it will automatically detect all the links separately similar like the one you need.
textview.editable = NO;
textview.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeAll;
If you still want to go with UILabel then
You can achieve this by using NSArrtibutedStrings — but I would recommend to use some wrapper around this C-functions. I like OHAttributedLabel.
The demo included shows exactly, how hyperlinks can be handled.
You should give a try to three20 project.
what is the reason for not using UITextView..there is link detection property for UITextView.Your app is not going to get rejected
In one project XCode4 intellisence feature shows setContentToHTMLString method of UITextView but in other project intellisence feature not showing setContentToHTMLString this method of UITextView.
I want to use setContentToHTMLString method of UITextView for HTML-based Presentation-only in my textView this works in one Project but not showing even by the intellisence feature of UITextView.
Any Suggestion.
Thanks in Advance....
I don't know why Xcode has this changing behavior, but I would suggest you not to use that method, because it is in a private API, so your app would be rejected by Apple. Possibly the fact that it is private is also why sometimes it is showing (it should not), others it is not.
The way to go to display HTML content is either use a [UIWebView][2], with all its caveats, or try out Three20 styled text facilities, which are quite limited, though.
I have tried to disable phone number detection in safari for my web app but it still shows 7 character strings comprised of numbers as phone numbers. I used the apple provided meta tag but no joy.
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
Anyone else run into this problem and work around it?
Thanks.
Update: It looks like it does not detect phone numbers in safari but rather when I save the page as an icon and run it from the home screen.
Are you loading this in a UIWebView? If so, you need to set the property for dataDetectorTypes. e.g:
webView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeNone
Valid detector types are here.
Search for UIWebView on apple's site for a description of how to set the property there.

We had a similar problem on our JQM/Cordova app. We had a calculator built into the app and whenever the amount was more than seven digits the data would be in blue with an underline underneath and when you click on the data a pop up appeared and gave you the option to call. We simply added
the meta tag as described in the opening question & it worked.
Just adding some thought here in case anybody else has a similar issue with Safari detecting 7 stringed data as telephone numbers.
OK. After quite a bit of futzing I think I found a strange work around. The problem with using dataDetectorTypes is that it will disable phone number detection for the whole uiwebveiw.
After trying datadetectors="off" and x-apple-data-detectors="false" attribute on span and a tags I finally stumbled on something that seems to prevent phone number detection.
If I wrap my text in an a tag with an href="#" apple seems to leave it alone.
Try this Code,
webView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeNone;
This may help you.
Try and add this to YourProjectAppDelegate.m
// ...
- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)theWebView
{
theWebView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeAll ^ UIDataDetectorTypePhoneNumber;
return [ super webViewDidStartLoad:theWebView ];
}
// ...
Did the trick for me..
