Does anyone know if there are any open source solutions out there that use UIWebview to build a full browser? There is something like this in Three20 when you pass a URL, but I am assuming there must be other alternatives out there.
I realize that UIWebView is a web browser, but hooking up refresh, back button, URL bar, etc will take extra time.
Suggestions?
SVWebViewController looks pretty much like what you're looking for.

EDIT the project is now maintained here: https://github.com/acatighera/banshee
It's an open source browser with tabs, bookmarks, search, etc.
I have started an open source project (MIT License) to make something as close as possible to the native MobileSafari application (on iPhone and iPad).
Here are the features so far:
Anyone wanting to contribute to this project is welcome to do it !
You can clone/fork the project here: https://github.com/sylverb/CIALBrowser
UIWebView
is a full browser ! To open a url in webView
you do this -
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:webAddress];
NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:req];
You can even insert javascript into UIWebView
. You could customize it to your liking.
//To customize the look & feel...
self.webView.scalesPageToFit = YES;
self.webView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
self.webView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
//To insert Javascript
NSString *jsCommand = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"document.body.style.zoom = 0.5;"];
[self.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsCommand];
You could do lot more. Have fun...
UPDATE: To get a back button and all, webView
provides those features, back, forward etc. all those browser features. You need to code up the buttons & UI & for code you could do this -
-(IBAction)goForward:(id)sender
{
[webView goForward];
}
-(IBAction)goBack:(id)sender
{
[webView goBack];
}
-(IBAction) gotoHome:(id)sender
{
NSString *urlAddress = @"http://google.com";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:requestObj];
}
