Seeking to Understand

After much experimentation, I got UIWebView to work on the iPhone. I’m running with what is probably an old devkit at this point, but after a lot of playing around, I edited the UIKit/UIWebView.h file to remove the bits that kept it from compiling. I later found this diff which more or less is exactly what I ended up doing.

After the UIWebView header was fixed up, I played around a bit and ended up with some very simple code that puts a UIWebView inside of a UIScroller which results in a webview that has the ability to pan around the page. I did find that playing with setEnabledGestures: on the webview itself allowed me to get pinch-zoom to work, I’m being lazy since I don’t think I need it for this particular project that I’m working on and it didn’t work quite the way I wanted it to anyway.

I posted the files to my iApp-a-Day source repository on Google.

Oh.. I haven’t mentioned iApp-a-Day, you say? Well, I’m still not sure it’s possible… but if all goes according to plan, I’ll be trying to publish one iPhone app for each day in November. It should be interesting, anyway… It was Jer’s idea and I might get some help from temas - but so far it’s just been me. I’m getting a bit nervous about it all because it’s the 20th now and I only really have two apps ready in the queue… November has 30 days! I guess we’ll see what happens…
