javascript - Calling a method when UIWebView scrolls

Question

I have a UIWebView that contains a lot of text content. I need to be able to get the location of the UIWebView every time it moves. I am using this code to get the point:

pageYOffset = [[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"window.pageYOffset"] intValue];

now I just need to make it so that this variables value is updated everytime the UIWebView position moves, or there is any scrolling. Is it possible to call a method whenever the UIWebView scrolls?

Answer 1

You should extend UIWebView, like below

@implementation UIWebView(CustomScroll)
- (void) scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
    [self.delegate scrollViewDidScroll: scrollView];
}
@end

and implement scrollViewDidScroll on your controller like:

- (void) scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView{
    NSLog("webview scrolled");
}

and don't forget to set your controller to the delegate property of UIWebView.
