A simple iPhone/iPad web browser.

DZWebBrowser

An iPhone/iPad simple web browser controller with navigation controls and sharing features:

• Progress bar embeded on the navigation bar (optional).
• Navigation bar shows title animated, à la Twitter official app.
• Sharing options like posting on Twitter, Facebook, Mail, etc. (optional).
• Long press gesture for capturing links and images (optional).
• Customizable toolbar icons.
• Localization support.
• NSURLCache support.

DZWebBrowser uses ARC and supports iOS6 and superior. Also support multiple orientations.

Some additonal feature ideas:

• Hide NavigationBar & ToolBar for larger screen real estate (à la Safari App).
• Optional way of searching a custom URL from the NavigationBar.
• Keywords auto-completion when searching on bar.
• Reload page.

Feel free to fork it and make it more interesting!

How to use

It is very easy to add DZWebBrowser to your projects. Take a look into the sample project. Hopefully you saved a couple of hours!

Step 1

Import "DZWebBrowser.h" to your view controller subclass.

Step 2

Import Apple's SystemConfiguration, CFNetwork, MessageUI and Social frameworks.

Step 3

Create a new instance of DZWebBrowser and initialize with a NSURL. You also need to embed the view controller into a UINavigationController.

NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com/"];

DZWebBrowser *webBrowser = [[DZWebBrowser alloc] initBrowserWithURL:URL];
webBrowser.showProgress = YES;
webBrowser.allowSharing = YES;
webBrowser.resourceBundleName = @"custom-controls";

UINavigationController *webBrowserNC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:webBrowser];

[self presentViewController:webBrowserNC animated:YES completion:NULL];

Third party Frameworks

DZWebBrowser requires third party frameworks, added as submodules:

• Apple's Reachability, but the ARC version from Tony Million.
• NJKWebViewProgress from Satoshi Asano.
• SDURLCache from Olivier Poitrey
