3,570 PointsHow to open UITextView link in custom UIViewController
Hello How can one open a link from UITextView in another UIViewController instead of the default behaviour (opening via safari). What am trying to achieve is the same approach twitter app uses when one clicks on a link. Any help will be appreciated.

Could just create your own "web browser" in app.

3,570 PointsYes I would like to listen to that link click then push that to another view controller which has webview to display the content of that link.. Same like the twitter app. How can I listen to link click from uitextview ?

9,523 PointsThis Stack Overflow answer seems to be basic enough. I am not sure where you are getting the link from. But like SO says you could just change the color of the text and make it a custom button instead - if it is always going to be a link.
