open links in safari not uiwebview

Question

i try to open links from my local html but i don't know what is wrong in my code. I added UIWebViewDelegate to the class and the delegate to the View.

class TableWebViewController: UIViewController, UIWebViewDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var infoWebView: UIWebView!

var htmlName:String!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.infoWebView.delegate = self
    self.loadHtmltoWebview(htmlName)


    self.infoWebView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    self.infoWebView.opaque = false

    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

func loadHtmltoWebview(name: String) {
    let htmlFile = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource(name, ofType: "html")
    let url = NSURL(string: htmlFile!)
    let request = NSURLRequest(URL: url!)

    infoWebView.loadRequest(request)

}

func webView(webView: UIWebView, shouldStartLoadWithRequest request: NSURLRequest, navigationType: UIWebViewNavigationType) -> Bool {


    if navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationType.LinkClicked {
        //UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(request.URL!)
        print(request.URL)
        return false
    }
    return true
}

can anybody help me? Thanks!

edit: print(request.URL) is shown in the output, so he jumps into the function, but safari don't open

Answer 1

Make sure your UIWebViews delegate property in IB is connected to your ViewController . Otherwise the method you implemented will never be called. Go to the outlets pane on IB for the WebView and connect the delegate outlet with your ViewController that implements the UIWebViewDelegate protocol.
