I want to do some extra work after the webpage is loaded, so I add some code in webViewDidFinished, but it seems in this situation it's not working.
Situation:I visit a web page with UIWebview then click a link to another, after that, I run
[webview goback];
It seems the page was loaded from cache, only
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType;
is called,
- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView;
is not called.
However quirky, I suspect that this is correct behaviour. From the Apple doc:
webViewDidFinishLoad:
Sent after a web view finishes loading a frame.
My bet is that the UIWebView caches a certain number of pages, and the goBack and goForward methods do not guarantee that locations stored in the back-forward list are reloaded. And thus does not fire webViewDidFinishLoad.
But even though this is might be correct behaviour, I would certainly agree that this is bad API design. There should definitely be a finishLoad-ish method to hook into for back/forward/in-page navigation.
