I have specified dataDetectorTypes on a UITextView so that URLs open in Safari when touched.
Is it possible to intercept this behaviour so I load the URL in a UIWebView instead? Or would I have write my own URL detector code to re-route this?
You would have to do the URL detection yourself and manually load the UIWebView when the URL is tapped.
Everything needs to be custom-done because Apple sends all http:// and https:// URL openings to Safari.
