Case Study: Implementing Content Search in UIWeb View in iOS App

Problem/Issue:  We wanted to highlight particular word in UIWeb View Control; in short we can say that we wanted to implement “Content Search” features in the application.

{
// The JS File
NSString *filePath  = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@”UIWebViewSearch” ofType:@”js” inDirectory:@””];
NSData *fileData    = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
NSString *jsString  = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithData:fileData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
//NSLog( @” view of tag OF tag both =%@”,getImageView1);
[web_detail stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsString];
[jsString release];

// The JS Function
NSString *startSearch   = [NSString stringWithFormat:@”uiWebview_HighlightAllOccurencesOfString(‘%@’)”,str];
[web_detail stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:startSearch];
result    = [web_detail stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@”uiWebview_SearchResultCount”];
return [result integerValue];
}
