I have question, how can I fetch the url from the webView
?
I perform the following code and I get the nil
Code I'm trying :
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(true)
webView.loadRequest(URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv2zJErQt84")!))
if let text = webView.request?.url?.absoluteString{
print(text)
}
}
You are not getting url because webView
has not finished the loading of that requested URL
, you can get that URL
in webViewDidFinishLoad
method of UIWebviewDelegate
. For that you need to set delegate of webView
with your current ViewController
and need to implement UIWebviewDelegate
.
webView.delegate = self
Now you can get current loaded URL
of webView
in webViewDidFinishLoad
method.
func webViewDidFinishLoad(_ webView: UIWebView) {
if let text = webView.request?.url?.absoluteString{
print(text)
}
}
