UICollectionViewCell中的UIWebView不调用Delegate方法

Question

I am currently embedding a UIWebView inside a UICollectionViewCell to be able to view HTML formatted text residing in my local data structure.

I know it has been stated many times one should not embed an UIWebView inside a scrollView, but i currently see no other way to achieve displaying mixed content overviews (That is the current requirement, and so far UICollectionView does work very well with large data sets).

The Problem is, that i am not able to call the UIWebViews Delegate method:

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView
shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
 navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType { ... }

I need the delegate method to be able to display external links or call local methods.

Is there a way to achieve this? Maybe by handing over the events programatically?

Thanks for the feedback!

I just found out what i did wrong:

I just needed to update the cells' contentView: [[cell contentView] setFrame:frameContainingWebViewSize]

That did the trick. The delegate method was not called because the contentView did not cover the webview (clipSubviews is set to NO) and thus the tap events where not fired.
