Open webview when button is clicked

Question

I have created a button which should normally open a webview controller. However, it doesn't seem to do anything when I connect the code to the button.

Here is my code:

ViewController.h:

@interface ViewController : UIViewController {
    IBOutlet UIButton *webscanner;
}

-(IBAction)webscanner:(id)sender;
@property (nonatomic,strong) IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;

ViewController.m:

@synthesize webView;

-(IBAction)webscanner:(id)sender
{
     NSString *urlString = @"http://example.com/reader.html";
    //Create a URL object.
     NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];

     //URL Request Object
     NSURLRequest *webRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

     //Load the request in the UIWebView.
     [webView loadRequest:webRequest];
}

Am I doing anything wrong?

Follow the below steps:-

1)Add UIWebViewDelegate in your .h file like that

@interface ViewController : UIViewController< UIWebViewDelegate > {

2)Now implement the below delegate method which will show your web page is loading.

- (void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {     
   NSLog(@"page is loading");       
 }

-(void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
       NSLog(@"finished loading");
 }
